Rockettes at Radio City: Nov. 5 Meetup and Show Guide
Borough Hoppers plans to enter Radio City Music Hall at 6:45 p.m. for the 7 p.m. show, but the venue advises arriving no later than 6:30. That difference matters: late arrivals may have to wait for a scene break before being seated.
Season scale, not a date-specific set list
The 2026 Christmas Spectacular opens at Radio City on Nov. 4. The Rockettes’ season announcement describes 230 performances and ten Rockettes numbers, but it does not give a number-by-number lineup for the Nov. 5 show.
The official calendar lists performances at 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 5. Borough Hoppers’ outing is for the evening performance; the season-wide announcement is context, not confirmation of the exact sequence that night.

Treat the RSVP and ticket as two decisions
The Meetup listing links to the Rockettes’ ticket page, but does not say that an RSVP includes show admission, that the host is coordinating a shared purchase or that attendees will sit together. Check with host Caroline about any group-ticket or seating plan; do not count on the Meetup RSVP as a show ticket.
Caroline asks attendees to RSVP only if they expect to go and to update their plans promptly. The listing says two no-shows or cancellations within six hours lead to a four-month ban, and that a reminder will go to the group 24 hours before the event.

A paid show ticket is separate from the RSVP
A paid ticket is required for the performance. The Meetup listing says tickets start at $60. The Rockettes’ calendar shows a broad $55–$402.50 range for Nov. 5 performances; that range does not establish the price of a particular seat for the 7 p.m. show. Prices and availability can change.
All ticket sales are final, with no refunds or exchanges. The venue sets a limit of 14 tickets per transaction and purchaser across the 2026 season. Online orders have service charges; tickets bought at the Radio City Music Hall or Madison Square Garden box offices do not. The Radio City box office is inside the main entrance on 6th Avenue at 50th Street; listed hours are Monday through Saturday, noon to 6 p.m., and closed Sunday.
For parties of nine or more, the Rockettes offer a separate group-sales inquiry process. Group purchases may include preferred pricing, group experiences and a dedicated sales representative; contact Group Sales at 212-465-6080 to ask about arrangements.

Getting to Radio City Music Hall
Subway and rail connections
The Meetup host lists the B, D and F trains at 47–50 Sts–Rockefeller Center and the 1 and W trains at 50 Street. From Penn Station, Radio City’s visitor guide recommends taking the 1 train to 50th Street/Broadway and walking two blocks east to 6th Avenue. From Grand Central, it suggests the shuttle or 7 train to Times Square, then the uptown 1 to 50th Street/Broadway and the same walk east.
The venue flags temporary NJ Transit schedule adjustments that may affect travel and advises checking updated schedules and allowing extra time. That advisory does not establish what service will be like on Nov. 5.
