Imagine suffering through this to celebrate the start of 2020 😂

[@heavymetalrox268]

Why would anybody ever wanna put themselves through this incredibly painful, uncomfortable, inconvenient and sad experience for 2 minutes of confetti is something I will never understand.

[@papanonstoppa9686]

Tell my girlfriend 🙄 I have to go thru it this year 😮‍💨

Good luck it's horrible ​@@papanonstoppa9686

@@papanonstoppa9686 Are you actually going through with it?

[@papanonstoppa9686]

@@Atayfordays hell nah 😂😂 we went at 2pm bro and people were already lined up around cirlces. Did some work and snuck in the police gates by telling them we got a hotle in Times Square. Nice ass clear view but we got tired at like at 6

Tips: Arrive early to secure a spot Stay next to barricade to hold on to Wear diaper Bring food and water (hard boiled eggs, bread. Better to add electrolyte in the water) Bundle up in layers/waterproof puffer Extra powerbank

[@gen2036]

I'm planning to wear diaper also hahaha

[@tatianabrazil8977]

Okay this year I plan to be there early as well. Thank you so much for the awesome video 😊

[@MainVue]

Wow. You stayed outside over 14 hours. I wouldn’t survive. I remember going there over 25 years ago in my early 20’s and it was chaos. Police and people fighting. Never again, but great video.

[@streetspitzley5854]

I’m going to the ball drop tomorrow, and I’m excited. It’s my very first time ever going to see the ball drop in person. That’s why I’m watching this. Thanks for the tips! 👍

[@mtv512]

[@ter1413]

[@aaronfregoso3239]

Wait so did y'all not use the bathroom this entire time you were there?

[@sleepyyy_steve]

Nope there are 0 bathrooms lol

[@shawnburge4978]

Lol isn’t that crazy.

[@kerynl.sanchez9891]

My bladder would explode. I would wear a diaper and bring a chair.

[@applecake2209]

[@lyssa2g]

They went in their diapers.

[@imemyself7859]

If we reach there 13:30 can we get closer??

[@angelarossac]

Hi... paano po ung naging byahe niyo po pauwi?

[@narssamsoon4292]

any ubers available after? We might leave our car in NJ.

[@ter1413]

You would need to walk away from the area and probably expect to pay surge pricing.

[@alsmichavlog5035]

Godbless

[@hs2972]

Hey Wondering, Do you get cab or subway easily while returning from balldrop event easily?

[@ter1413]

Best would be to take the subway.

[@Jay-vr9ir]

Not very many people over the age of 55.

[@Asappthegoat]

Is the event free? I wanna go for the 24 new year count down and get some type of merch lol

[@ter1413]

Absolutely free.

[@som22388]

are the sidewalks open?

[@ter1413]

The streets/sidewalks start to get blocked off as the pens start filling up. So you can't just walk the sidewalk and stand for the ball drop.

[@natepayne1353]

Doesn't look fun at all!

[@markjackson5333]

I was there last year around 10am but they were not letting anyone in. Yet i had the love feed in times square and saw people. Absolute shit show

[@markjackson5333]

So this was 2020 to 2021???

[@myschool2796]

It was 2019 to 2020 For the 2021 balldrop you had to be tested for Covid-19 in order to get into Times Square

[@NorthHollywood]

2:45 Mexican Andy?

[@kerynl.sanchez9891]

I would only do it from a hotel. Bring a cane-chair and wear a diaper 😂 Can’t imagine how many people pee themselves!

[@Mrsiddarthjay]

I'm going tomorrow, comment below if you are going too :)

[@nette7631]

2 diapers?!! 😱

[@sheilal5516]

[@nycrevolutionary9663]

People are stupid waiting for a dumb ball to drop
