There is a ticket holders lounge in the hall. If you have a ticket, you can sit in there. It is strictly enforced so you are immune from the roving packs of deranged homeless. There are no seats because NYPD and the MTA have surrendered the system to the deranged homeless. They would rather have our trains and stations be insane asylums rather than evict the vagrants. Please don't ask me for compassion or solutions. My compassion left 3 murders ago, 14 stabbings and 9 people thrown in front of trains ago. I don't care where they send the deranged homeless. Put them in firehouses, police stations, lobbies of luxury buildings, Citifiled. I simply don't care. I am a simple commuter and commuters have borne the entire burden of the deranged homeless for far too long. It is someone else's turn. What ever compassion or services you want to offer please do it at the exit of the system. Escort the vagrants out of the system, by force if necessary, and then start any interaction you like. Just leave me out. I've done my time and I am more than entitled to clean, safe, transportation. Not my problem anymore.

I would simply read the article that explains how the ticketed room closes early and at random.

So do the bathrooms and the food court. MTA doesn't care. Never did. If they cared they would not have built a station WHERE HALF THE LIRR TRACKS don't exist! Who builds a train station when the tracks are 2 blocks away? In related news the MTA once again missed hteir goal for East Side Access. It was promised in 2022. Nope, delayed until at least 2023.
