The opening of the 9/11 Memorial is just around the corner—see our photo tour from last month—and tickets are about to be made available to the public. No, not the rumored $20+ tickets to the 9/11 Museum (which won't open until 2012), tickets to the actual memorial. The one without any toilets.
As a means to keep order at the site, which is expected to attract millions of visitors in its first year of operation, the powers that be have decided that date and time stamped tickets will be required to access the public memorial. And those tickets will first be made available to the public tomorrow at 911memorial.org.
The first tickets available will be for September 12, 2011 (the 11th is reserved for victims' family members). After you reserve your ticket on Monday you'll be able to print out a pass which you'll need to present at upon arriving at the Memorial. For the first year of operation the entrance will be through the Welcome Site located at 1 Albany Street (at the corner of Albany and Greenwich).
After ten years, it is kind of amazing this cash-strapped thing is actually going to open.
