Yes. Open Wednesday through Sunday, closed Mondays and Tuesdays. Amex early access 11am to 12pm, open to everyone from 12pm to 7pm. Running through November 1.
It varies with the MSG shows. People arriving around 10:30am got through in about five hours, and one visitor waited four hours on a Wednesday before a show. Non show days are calmer. Plan for more time than you expect and check the concert schedule if you can pick your day.
A weekday with no show at the Garden, as early as you can. Later in the run should be easier than now.
Outside the pop-up, with its own line.
Yes. You go through the main entrance line to get your tokens, then do the machine on your way out. There is no fast track and no way to buy tokens at the machine itself.
Short. Never more than about five groups when we were there, and well organized.
No. Every machine has its own tokens with its own logo and they are not interchangeable.
Five per person.
Yes. There is a lino Smiley in the machine and only 100 were made. With the volume this pop-up is doing, pulling one is genuinely rare, and it is the one everybody is hoping for.
Plenty of dupes regardless of which slot you pick, and a lot of Shiny Disco Ball. Disco Rat seems to be the elusive one.
There is a different pin at the merch register each day, so if you are collecting those it is worth asking what today's is.
There are grab and go locations separate from the main pop-up, including 3rd and Bowery and 55 Great Jones, with much shorter waits. No machine and no prints at either, so they are merch only.
This one runs three months rather than ten days, which shows in how much is built out. If you are there mainly for the prints, an off-peak weekday is the easier trip. Otherwise there is a lot to see, so give yourself time.
Mini prints currently stocked only at this machine.
Live stock status, 700+ prints, and routes for every city.
