Hundreds of One Direction fanatics camped out for days in front of Rockefeller Plaza waiting for the boy band's ‘Today’ show performance on Friday.
Hundreds of One Direction fans are picking pavement over their pillows as they camp out at Rockefeller Plaza waiting for the crooners' "Today" show performance on Friday.
The eager teens - and parents - endured the rain and sticky, humid air behind barricades wrapped around along 48th St., Fifth Ave. and 49th St.
"We've been here for four days!" said Crystal Pineda, 14, of Middle Village, Queens, who chose to rough it on 48th St.
Crystal's mother, Gloria Pineda, 31, said they were the first in line on Saturday - six days early - to ensure a front row seat.
"We are the most dedicated," said Crystal, who wore a "1D" sweatshirt. "What other girls are gonna be in the street for four days for them?"
Plenty.

The dedicated Directioners can’t wait to see the ‘What Makes You Beautiful’ crooners, who will take the stage during Friday’s ‘Today’ show appearance.
Dalisha Amparo, a 13-year-old from East Haven, Conn., made the trip to midtown on Tuesday.
"We're just here to see them twerk," she said, sitting in a folding chair beside her friends Neilyn Ithler, 15, of Maspeth, Queens, and Jay Molina, 14, of Flushing, Queens.
"My mom thinks I'm crazy," she admitted.
Jay said the heavy traffic and constant gawkers were a small price to pay for a free concert, but there was one big downside.
"We are sleeping with cockroaches!"
"It's real dedication, but we're just here to see our boys," she added.
When asked if they had any messages for the band, Neilyn made only one request: "Marry a girl that's four years younger!"
