latest with the difficulty people are having with getting the passes. and walter perez has details for the parade. >> reporter: brian and sharrie, most of the work is done at this point. despite the nasty wicked conditions out here today. the city at this point is saying they will doing their part and tomorrow they want the fans to do their part. namely have fun but be considerate. and the parade that eagles fans are anticipating for generations but if you plan on being here for the championship and celebration, you better come up with a game plan quick. that goes double for those planning on driving in tomorrow. the entire parade route and surrounding roadways are shut down from broad and paterson to the art museum from 5:00 a.m. until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow.

after a cold rainy day and sub zero temperatures overnight. they have this to say to anyone planning to beat the crowds camping out along the parade route. >> it would be unwise given the temperatures, it will be colder, it will be sunny but colder. if you plan on camping out know that. >> if a code blue goes into effect. anyone sleeping outdoors will be transferred to a warming shelter for their safety. it boils down to being considerate and smart. >> celebrate like he want to you do, don't commit crimes and don't drive drunk. >> the city is holing the final preparade news conference at 4:30 in a half hour. but basically treating this parade and celebration like any other parade. so anything you could not do today in the city you can't do

tomorrow. can't have a bonfire and under 21 you can't drink and any new information we'll have starting on "action news" at 5:00 and 6:00. walter perez, channel 6 "action news." >> thank you. lets switch live to john rawlins at 30th street station, we know the passes septa was selling are gone now and for those that did get one there are things they should know for today. >> that is correct. know and do. they have to do online research. but 50,000 of these sold out by 1:00 this afternoon. sometimes they were not always easy to find. >> they started off at levitt town stake they only have 60 tickets web they opened and sold out in five minutes and i hopped the train in levitt town and came to 30th street station and bought three passes tomorrow. >> but buyer beware.

there is no guarantee they will get you on a train. it's about being at the right place at the right time. the rail schedules are highly modified to find out where trains depart and when. is on 6abc.com. we have links to the critical one day information. for the paoli thorndale line. three of them 4:50 and 6:15 and 7:36. and ardmore from 7:21 and boarding is first come first serve. the gm suggests better to be early rather than late. >> you have to be careful if you bet on hitting the last train you could show up and a lot of people bet on just catching that last train and you won't make it in. we don't want that to happen. >> reporter: now, there have been rumblings why not sell passes it's not a question of

passes but capacity. they can only handle so many people. they think they can move 70,000 people. 50,000 with the one day pass and 20,000 with the one day rail pass. that is why first come first served sounds like a good strategy. >> thank you john. with fans flocking towards center city. hotels in and around the area are hard to come by. rooms are filling up across the bridge in south jersey. especially ones close to the patco stops, we inquired at three hotels in cherry hill. they sold out as soon as the parade details were released. if you go to the pride we want everybody to be safe and the american red cross offered tips. dress for winter it's cold and breezy so bundle up. you will do a lot of walking

for tomorrow. with such an outpouring of excitement we expect long lines, everywhere. and just as we waited for decades for this expect it will to get around and please be patient. i advise everyone to bundle up and wear warm clothes and dress comfortably and bring comfortable shoes you will be walking a lot. to bring food an. and leave the cans of beer home and take the food and snacks with you because food establishments that are open may be very crowded. make every effort to use public transit and making your commute into the citeasier. and make accommodations to assure the parade is accessible to all. and the celebration has jumbotrons placed along the route and it mosts asl translators on the stage.

and desna space on the south side of eakins wheelchairs and accessiblity. it's a first come first serve situation. paratransit drop-off is 2300 pennsylvania avenue and 20th and spring garden streets. i would like to thank a minute to thank the city workers that contributed to the huge event. the government is closed. and many more are working tomorrow to make sure this event goes off without a hitch and thank our partners at septa including the hundreds of subway and train operators that will be working tomorrow as well. the transit system will be challenged but i know these workers are devoted to getting these folks to and from the see vent as quickly as safely as possible. for everyone planning on coming, sign up for important parade

updates, texting ready eagles to 888-777. ready eagles, to 888-777. this is suppose to be a positive event to celebrate our super bowl champions and be patient with the crowds and patient with each other, and remember act responsibly. don't ruin this for the fans that waited decades for a historic day as the eagles finally parade up broad street and we are after all the city of ove and sisterly affection. and i would like to ask commissioner ross to come up and give updates. >> all right thank you mayor. and i will be brief but just a couple of things to reiterate. as the mayor said it is going to be a historic day. one that we suspect people will truly enjoy. but just a couple of things we are asking, most of them are reminders that we put out, one

would be if you are traveling with small children as i suspect many will be. when you are watching the parade please keep a handle on your child so you do not get separated. there are so many people out there even a separation of a few feet could be problematic. something as simple as that is key for us. in addition it may not seem important but if you travel with groups you have come with on trains, please stay together. if you get separated in crowds like this and your cell phone goes down because the battery dies it will be very, very difficult to locate your friends and loved ones. as much as you can, not just with your children, try to stay close to the people you came with. we asked yesterday if you bring any kind of bags that you not put them down even if you just want to walk into a store or something. someone will call, and we probably get somewhere in the

neighborhood of about 12 to 1300 call a year for suspicious packages a good thing for us. it suggests people are responsive and livening to our call in assisting us with suspicious activity. please don't place things on t grown and walk away temporarily people forget and you lose track of them. and the same holds true if you see something suspicious please give us a call. it doesn't have to be a package if you think something is going on that doesn't feel right trust your instincts and give us a call and an idea where you are and we' make ever effort to respond to that. the mayor indicated the patience is the order of the day, and it will be a lot of peopl and a lott we have ever gathering in this city. be patient with each other and respectful of each other the day will go well.

>> septa is excited to play a role helping the best fans in the world helping to celebrate the eagles. the market frankford and broad street lines are the best lines, they are sponsoring free lines on both lines all day. we'll run the broad street and market frank ford lines at rush hour levels throughout the day that means trains run every five minutes, both lines give you great access to the parade route. for regional rail we'll express trains into center city in the morning from selected out lying stations and trains will be ready for return service after the event. where you get off that is where you go back to get on. to safely manage crowds, it's limited to people with weekly and monthly trail passes and reduce fare and senior passes

someone that purchase aid special pass for the parade. and those sold out today in just over 24 hours at 1:00 p.m. we won't have any available for tomorrow. city and suburban trolleys and the norristown high speed line will operate at rush hour levels and bus strive drivers should check for detours before traveling and all septa modes try to arrive early. check online for updates and parade day travel. and like the mayor i would thank my employees for their hard work and finally enjoy but be safe. be very careful riding our vehicles and stay behind the yellow line on platforms. thank you.

>> i'm dan bradley with office of emergency management. we have a few points to share with you today. i want to reiterate the mayors statement. this is a once in a lifetime event. a fantastic celebration and we ask that you maintain patience and treat your fellow fans with respect. and we expect long lines but that is inherent to an event this big. but pulling an event off requires a significant am of coordination and we worked closely with the center city direct and hotels and hospitals and utility partners to make sure everyone is prepared for what the potential crowd size could be and how to make sure central services continue throughout this event. we'll be operating something we debuted during the democratic national convention the business eoc allowing real time communication between the city public safety team and all the business owners in center city and all the areas impacted.

the mechanism make shurg in the middle of this event we have good communication with those in the center city area. i spoke a little bit the other day about cell phone service being increased throughout the city. and we are working on that for several weeks and our telecommunication partners are employing equipment throughout the city. and building mounted antennas but it's not an exact science and with everyone live streaming and tweeting we could periodically lose cell phone service and text messages typically go through faster but if there san money or something else that happens stay off phone conversations, consider sending a tweet or social media message indicating where you'll meet up. or to let your friends and family know where you'll meet up again. i would like to talk a bit about crowd safety.

the weather forecast is to be clear and in the 30s. we are really emphasizing that folks dress in warm layers and comfortable shoes and be prepared to walk long zndistancg and make a plan before coming where you will regroup if you happened to get separated. just as the commissioner said. the philadelphia fire department will have several medical stations positioned throughout the parade route and there to provide assistance for things that should happen to the crowd and if you or someone you are with becomes separated especially children. direct them to any philadelphia police officer and philly police will begin the unification effort. i would encourage fans, to take advantage of the jumbotrons that are located along center city through the parkway and love park and city hall. to make sure that you can see the most of the parade you can. those jumbotrons are broadcasting the full length of

the parade. if you can't find a spot on broad street. specifically for coming with children, we expect the crowd to be a sea of green tomorrow. and if you are traveling with small children and worried about getting separated dress them in something that will stand out in the crowd and have them memorize your phone number and take a preevent selfie with what your children is wear that day. we say that for every large gathering and it makes police job easier to reunite folks with their kids quickly. i want to mention again about ready eagles. we see tremendous enrollment in the ready eagles. 777-888. there are 70,000 fans so far. that is a great way to share information and follow the city twitter accounts at philly oem

and philly.gov and we have septa and weather alerts and everything else to make sure everyone attending the event has what they need in real time. and finally the city's posture, for an event of this scale the city as emergency price center is activated tomorrow at 8:00 a.m. including representatives from the state and local and federal government. and that is our coordinate hub to make sure this goes smoothly. one interesting things we are doing is establishing a joint information center what is the hub for answering all media inquiries and addressing social media and that will be the site and location where ready eagles messages will come from. thank you. >> we are prepared to answer questions. how many? we don't really know.

we know it's going to be a lot. i think it was a million plus for the phillies. we could hit 2 or go over that. i'm not really sure. it's according to how many people can get into the city. and that is why public transit is so important. because if you drive and are stuck in traffic for three or four hours and see nothing it will be a shame. get your plans down and get here and see something. maybe size 2. the eagles fan base goes from delaware to central and southern new jersey to reading and allentown, so there is a lot of folks that bleed green. >> no -- to but i don't think

they take our advice any way. i don't know what they doing honestly. seriously i don't know what they decided to do. it's hard for the courthouse. i assume for a courthouse to function, because people changing their schedules and stuff like that. we did not ask them that. >> -- [ inaudible ]. >> sunday night was extremely annoying. and concerning but if you look at other celebrations throughout the country for national championships, there was a kind of a riot in amherst, massachusetts and they lost. people were doing the things they were doing destroying property and things with the poles and windows and things of that nature. there is no one angrier than our police commissioner and those

folks the knuckle heads are being sought afternoon. or turned themselves in or been arrested. >> what i don't understand is how dumb people can be. these days everything is video taped. and there is video taped by themselves and their friends and post it on social media. you put your own wanted poster on social media for all to see. our police department is very professional and very experienced and have done large events similar to this before. this will probably be charger but they know what they are doing and how to allow people to have fun and step in when they need to. no property damage and don't hurt anyone and don't hurt yourself. falling from the light pole is a serious situation especially if you are inebriated. you can break your neck. that was the end of a long day of partying and revelry. this starts at 11:00.

unless you are a hard core drinker. i don't think they will be in as bad a shape. that got involved with what happened. >> mayor -- [ inaudible ]. >> not along the parade route it has to be inside of the door. we have open container laws and people that are that obvious it will be removed from that. that promotion is inside and not outside. obviously people will be able to, i guess if they are cautious enough to hide their beer or whatever and not do it in plain sight of a police officer. then you know it is what it is. the key is that people need to behave and the alcohol just fuels the misbehavior at a certain level. and i think it will be a beautiful sunny day and daylight

and people act differently in the daylight than they do in the night and i think we'll be fine. people -- you know, there are bars and taverns throughout the city and people celebrate new years day and now years eve and st. patrick's day and other things. we don't have the problems. it is what it is. and it should stay inside. >> [ inaudible ]. >> i think the governor speaking i believe i am. very shortly. very small and quick. i don't have much to say. the way i look at this event. these players and coaches and families, and these players have played football from peewee to high school to college and now to the nfl. they train 12 months a year and it's serious work. the coaches move up the ranks in the same way. this is about them. it's not about politics -- >> we are listening to mayor kenny and other officials for

preparations for the big parade tomorrow. the city sounds as prepared as it can be for the largest amount of people we have seen before on the parkway. >> really good information coming out here's essentially keep your family with you and keep your wits about you and don't be a knuckle head.
