PHILLY DATE!!!

[jmk]

I might be going to Burning Man for the first time this year, so I'm not sure if I can even go to this show, but I just got 5 tickets anyway!
;D

[headhunter]

I GOT MY TICKETS!!!!!!!!

XPN presale  (code xpn)

I'm a very happy boy!!!! :D  ;D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

Well that was easy.

[deathstick]

I got one as well. 52 each after service.

[ericm]

I'm in +1 for this.......man TM/LN really suck!!  2 tix w/ fees and shipping for the Vermont show = $87.00 (not TM/LN), 2 tix w/ fees and free shipping for Philly = $104.00 through TM/LN.

[tdb810]

Got 2!!

[peafunk31]

Egads!!! 5 tix = $260.00

Meh, worth every penny imo :) Also know of 3-5 more people buying tix tomorrow. Bring it on boys!! :D

[FiddleCastro]

Got just 1 ticket, :D

[Witness MMJ]

TWO TICKETS ORDERED

CAN'T WAIT

PHILLY HERE I COME

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

I'd suggest The Khyber (http://www.thekhyber.com/index.php) for pre-show drinks. Close to the venue, good beers, decent jukebox, and MMJ played 2 shows here in 2001. Unfortunately for us, admission to those shows was likely the same as the cost of a beer at today's shows.

alady +1

[peafunk31]

Definitely agree with the Khyber. Seen several shows there & always had a good time.

For all of us going to the Sunday, August 29th concert in Philly and are like me, not living or from that area, I found this site about venue:

http://www.delawareriverevents.com/index.php?pageID=14&image=13h

It can tell you about the site, parking, hotels, etc etc

Believe the concert will be held in "The Great Plaza" section of Penn's Landing

Hope it can be of some use to us.

[YouAre_GivenToFly]

You're right... the "Great Plaza" is the location. There are a couple concerts happening there before the MMJ show this summer. I might go down to one of these to check it out, see where to stand in line, what the new stage is like, and so on. It being a Sunday I wouldn't expect parking or traffic to be too bad unless you're coming from the NJ shore. In that case, I'm sorry for you, for numerous reasons.

alady +1

what whaaaaat   :D

Yes!  :D

Guess who's the +1  :)

[Witness MMJ]

YouAre_GivenToFly,

That would be great if you could "check" things out for us out of town or newcomers to the venue.

Thanks a lot for doing that.

I called a few Hotels in the area:

Comfort Inn: Two Queen Beds: $159.99 plus 15.2% tax plus $23 parking fee. This includes, Breakfast, free shuttle for 20 blocks radius, if you have four people in the room its $20 extra, flat rate.

Hyatt: Two Queen Beds: $220 plus 14% !!! (not sure if that is correct) Parking $21, no breakfast. If you paid in full when you book it will be $190.

Sheraton: King Bed: $189 with 15.2% tax, Valet Parking $34.80 or self parking near by. If you get a room with two queen beds, its still $189 plus tax and if you have four people in the room, it will an extra $40 flat fee. This Hotel rate does not offer breakfast, that is extra.

I know what option I'm taking, if I decide to stay.

Now I did not look anywhere else that offer hotels, but I'm sure there is a Holiday Inn Express etc near by.

Hope this helps someone besides me.

That's where I'll be coming from. ;D  LBI is home for me.

No biggie though... if the sun is shining people stay the whole day and travel home at night.They only leave early on crappy days.

I'll be coming into Philly in the afternoon, so it shouldn't be too bad.(Fingers crossed)

b/c i want to see how our Philly hosts throw down:   i'm in!  [smiley=beer.gif]
