Fans in lower Manhattan have started to scale scaffolding in an effort to clear the lines or to get a view of the happenings ahead.
Many fans say they've been in line for hours but have been constantly redirected by street closures.
It's impossible to know what's happening more than 10 feet ahead. Simultaneously, downtown employees are trying to squeeze through to get to work. Frustration is building.
