No, you do not need tickets to attend the New Year's Eve celebration at Times Square in New York City, New York. You will need a lot of patience and many hours to stand around, holding your place, before the festivities begin. Plan on arriving at least 8 hours prior to the ball dropping.
Using Mass Transit is certainly the only way to go, as much of the area will be closed down and inaccessible to vehicular traffic. Dress warmly. While it may not seem bitterly cold, you will be standing for many hours.
Plan your restroom breaks carefully. Don't leave your spot unattended - if possible, have friends or family 'save' your piece of asphalt and take turns locating and using restroom facilities. Be careful about your belongings.No wallets in back pockets.
No purses without zipper closures, and stay aware of those around you. It's a great experience!
