youir computers were down when we wanted to reserve so it took a long time befre we received your registration by hand. When we picked up the tickets though I think they were a free upgrade to an express ticket which was good.

The view. The downside was that there wasn't any explanation of how to get your tickets. On the email, it was an open timing from 0900-23000. There was no explanation to go to the rockefeller and book a slot. I went at approximately 1600 so I could see the sunset but was told the earliest slot was 1850. The email should explain the process

It would be 10, but you have to go and get the tickets and it says that you go early in the morning because of high volume on the weekend.

I'd always wanted to do this ever since I moved and I was scared I'd built up my expectations too high, but I was wrong. A few moments up there, and I was in love
