I put in for tickets for the 911 Memorial in Manhattan. When I did it, they wanted the names of the people attending and the tickets are printed with the names on them. I was wondering if anyone knows how strict security is with the name. My son broke of with his girlfriend and now has a new one. We were wondering if he could get away with it.

We went there in September. They had "airport style" security set up, and yes, they definitely checked IDs against the names on the tickets. Maybe you can contact them and ask how to change the name on the one ticket? The Memorial is so moving, it's absolutely worth the visit. Good luck!

We were ther in September too, a few weeks after 9/11. Security is strict, even stricter than at the airport. We had to show our photo I.d. A number of times as we went through each check point. I agree, call and see if you can change the name, don't try to get away with using a ticket for someone else.

If the date and time of your current tickets are not sold out get your son or his new girlfriend to oprn an account using their e-mail address and cell phone number to get a ticket with her name on it. The tickets are free as you know.

I already booked mine for May. I don't know how far in advance you need to book them but I went ahead and booked to be safe.

Thanks for the information we will be in The City in February. I will ask the Commander-In-Chief to order some tickets.

We were just in NYC in Oct. A few day in advance and many times are still available. Day of tickets are hard to come by. Months in advance everything would be available.

Tickets are free, so I picked multiple days and times as I did not know our exact schedule.

I would recommend going an hour or so before sunset. Why, because seeing it at night is a must. It looks so much different lit up by lights. If you go an hour before sunset, you can see it in the light and and night.

Our tickets are for Christmas week, 12/28. Highly unlikely I can get another but I will try and change the name. But one never knows if my DS will be on the next girl by then!

What would you be changing if this was an airline ticket with an dollar cost factor? Give your son his ticket and the ex-gf ticket and tell him to handle it. It is all part of growing up or being an adult.

Trying to sneak someone into a 911 Memorial just seems wrong.
