Tickets, which went online at 10 a.m., were gone just before 11 a.m. PIX11 News staff who tried to get tickets were queued for nearly two hours.

Around 2,000 tickets were given out on Wednesday before the website crashed, according to the mayor's office. Over 1 million people tried to claim the tickets within five minutes of the website going live.
The event is free and open to the general public if you didn't manage to snag front-row seats.
