Who Needs Transport Between Port Chester & Boston? Who is Driving & Has Room?

Problem may be resolved with the Brookline.  They just called and offered an option to sign off on 15 rooms at first, so there's no attrition policy.  Once we fill that block of 15, I'll negotiate an addendum to the initial agreement to reserve another block of 15.

I think you'll be fine on the attrition policy. I know from the looks of that Roll Call that pretty much everyone on it will keep their word, and their rooms. It's the what happens in the event of a blizzard or something, and the show gets canceled?  They shouldn't make you liable if the show is canceled.

Maybe if they're being a stickler, they could at least give you a waiver based on the show only? Show goes on, rooms get paid for, canceled for some reason, you're not liable. If the show goes on, we're there, so not really much of a risk on your end,IMO. If they make you liable no matter what, even for 15 rooms, I still don't think you should put yourself out there for that. Awfully generous of you to risk it, but that's really going above and beyond,IMO.

I know I would totally understand if you don't want to take that risk, and imo you really shouldn't take it.

Thanks Eric. I spoke with the hotel Director of Sales and he said by doing the 15 + 15 approach, there would be no attrition applied, so no liability.  I'll have to read the fine print once I receive the documentation, but we should be ok.

You can also take the train from Port Chester, too (I think you switch in Stamford)..

If anyone has room for 2 on Sunday, I'd love a ride.

If not, If anyone wants to take the train together, I'd be up for that. I think we have to switch in Stamford.

if anyone is coming from LI i may need transport to Port 3.

I'm looking for Trans, but am not opposed at all to taking the train. How much will the train cost?

[HansAndreas]

Train is ok for me.

Sorry, I haven't had any time to look into this.  If someone wants to volunteer to call a few bus / transportation outfits in the Port Chester / Rye area, please be my guest.

An Amtrak train right now from Stamford is running $44.00 one way to Boston South St. station. A 3.5 hr trip, approx.

Not sure what the train fare is from Rye-Stamford.

Another option is to go back into NYC on Sunday and take the MegaBus or Bolt Bus for 20$ each way...(4 and 1/2 hours)

but i'm all for the AMTRAK party, too..
