On a nice summer night you can just kick off your shoes, spread that blanket on the grass and sip soda, eat free popcorn and take in the city night. Okay enough of that here is the 411

Take for instance Shakespeare in the park. Tickets are usually only available on the same day at the Delacoute theater and that makes for a very long line that snakes between Central Park West’s corner of the Great Lawn and the road where cars and runners pass by with indifference to your cheap ways.

But you don’t have to wait in line any longer! The Public Theater has unveiled  (What I think is new) a virtual line, where you can order tickets online vie there website and pick up your tickets at will call. Though only a limited tickets will be available this way it is indeed a better way to go for tickets if your busy and don’t want to sit in the hot sticky sun all day wondering if the guy in front of you with the absurfly amount of back hair is going to take his shirt off.
