Boston Show

goldenlady27 · Oct 12, 2006, 11:10 AM

just wondering who got all the presale tickets for boston!! I tried to get them at like 1:30pm yesterday and they were gone. my friend and i are trying to make the trip to boston. Both of us have never been to Boston so this seemed like a great reason to go. Can anyone give advice about a hotel and good local bars and so on close to the avalon.

If you got any presale tix for this show and decide not to go..please let me know ;D

peace and chicken grease to all!!!

I am not from Boston so don't trust me on this but when i was there for MMJ last year and there wasn't too much around this venue. It is next to Fenway and it seemed kind of empty around there in the fall.

Linwood Bar and Grille... not too far, right in the Fenway neighborhood. Its my regular choice for pregaming before the Avalon. Great barbecue, has kinda a southern feel, and the bar side has an excellent selection of beers. hmmm... maybe we can set up a lil pre jacket shindig...

i'm not sure you were in the right area, Landsdown street which avalon is on, is one of the biggest party streets in boston, its entirely made up of clubs and bars, right across from fenway park, there is boston beer works, caske and flagon, copperfields, axis, tequila rain, Jillians, Bills Bar, Auta Nua, boston billards, the Linfield...all pretty much right next to where they play at avalon...

The Linwood is a good call for pre game festivities. A little further away than the other bars/clubs on Landsdowne, but worth the trip and a much better atmosphere...

As far as a place to stay in the area...there is not much that is affordable that I can think of. Of course, there is the Howard Johnson's, which I think is part of BU's campus now, but I found their website, take a look, it is very close to Landsdowne. Have a good time in Boston..

Does anyone know what time on Thursday the tix go on sale for Avalon? I missed the pre-sale as well, but cannot miss the show!

mjsawyer309 · Oct 15, 2006, 07:34 PM

The Linwood sounds great...you can't beat good beer and BBQ then MMJ. I have to make sure I get tickets first!!! Tix do go on sale at 10am east coast time. hotels are really freakin expessive in Boston...whats up with that

Loaded_Question · Oct 17, 2006, 08:45 PM

Tickets on sale at 10:00.....anyone know about how long they'll last? I went to the presale thinking I could snag some no problem but was shut out. Now I'm planning my strategy for getting them and this would be a valuable piece of info.

Thanks.

$150 for a room at Ho Jo's? Welcome to Boston, grab your ankles. Anything in the city will be pricey..
Although Ho Jo's is very close to the Linwood and to the Avalon.

Good luck.

mjsawyer309 · Oct 17, 2006, 09:14 PM

I'll bet they didn't release too many pre-sale tickets.

You can still find tickets to the 11/22 show in Louisville that went on sale on 10/6. If a Louisville show still has tix available, today I am sure Boston will have tickets beyond Thursday.

But that is just the talk of a mere Junior Member, so take that for what its worth.

Good luck all, see you at the Linwood

goldenlady27 · Oct 18, 2006, 04:03 PM

the linwood is on like hot buttered popcorn!!! MMJ forum members pregame sounds like a plan ;D

mjsawyer309 · Oct 19, 2006, 10:05 AM

ON SALE NOW...ticketmaster.

goldenlady27 · Oct 19, 2006, 10:17 AM

I got my boston tix!!! Now I will get to experience 3 nights in a row of MMJ. Should be totally and completely awsome!! It's not gonna be soon enough for me!

October · Oct 19, 2006, 01:15 PM

got my tickets, although i had to get the print-out ones. they couldnt ship regulars to my po box at school....damn, i like stubs.

i will be driving up with a large crew from providence. i look forward to it very much.

It's just knee-jerk reaction for me to buy the moment they go on sale, or pre-sale. I never thought Lucero would sell out at the Middle East in cambridge, but they managed to do it. Since then I've left nothing to chance.

Course, you could still buy tickets at the door when they played the Avalon last year.

CTdeadhead · Oct 19, 2006, 10:08 PM

Hey now I just scored tickets and booked a hotel for the night. I went through Priceline and got the Marriott Copley for $115. Is this within walking distance to the Avalon? If so this was a great deal i guess.

mjsawyer309 · Oct 21, 2006, 07:36 AM

Not within walking distance, but a really nice hotel for $115. From Copley, you can take the T to Kenmore Square and walk from there.

MMJ_fanatic · Oct 21, 2006, 12:52 PM

Damn! sounds like there oughta be a board user meet-up at the Avalon--what y'all say huh?
