I went two years ago. If you do not have VIP Pass guaranteed seating get there as early as you can stand to wait because there will be a huge line if you wait too long. Sunday's everyone gets in.

Few of my cousins are going, they plan on getting in line around 3-4 in the morning... Here's some info for you:


The following procedure applies to Saturday only:
Wristbands to secure a ticket and entry into the Draft will be distributed on a first-come, first-serve basis beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, April 26 on the 50th Street side of Radio City Music Hall. All persons wishing to attend the Draft must be present in order to receive a wristband. No exceptions will be made. Please remember that fans arrive very early. Fans who receive wristbands will then be able to line up beginning at 1:00 p.m. with doors opening at 1:45 p.m.
Fan entry will take place at the "Carriage Door Entrance" located on 50th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues.
Fans who attend Day Two of the Draft (Sunday) in its entirety will be eligible to receive a ticket for the 2009 NFL Draft by filling out a form distributed only at Radio City prior to the first selection of the third round. These forms will only be accepted at the conclusion of Day Two, after the final selection has been made, to designated NFL staff members on-site. Only one form per person will be allowed. Doors will open to fans at 9 a.m. on Sunday.
Other opportunities for fans to experience the excitement of the 2008 NFL Draft include the NFL Draft Preview on Friday and NFL Draft Fan Central on Saturday.

i live in the area and was going to go since i thought with the later start they would give the wristbands out later meaning people would get on line a little later.

but it looks like with the 10 am wrist bands that people are still gonna get on line at 4 in the morning and i aint doing that.

I like watching it on TV better, more coverage and analysis of the picks. Plus more food and quicker access to the bathroom LoL.

I woudlnt be caught dead at the draft. Its all about waking up 5 minutes before it starts, grabbing some drinks and chips and laying there in a semi sleep coma waiting for the pick.
