PHILLY DATE!!!

[ALady]

Woo!   :)

[manicfanatic]

Just got my 2 tiks and I agree with meeting up at the Khyber beforehand.

[manonthemoon]

Just picked up a couple of tix for this show, super pumped as I had to beg and plead with the wife as we already had reservations for the beach all week long.  Definately worth the extra 4 hour drive on the way back. ;)

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.

there's a hyatt right by the venue. go to hotwire.com, you'll get the best deal. last time i went to a show in philly i used hotwire and i got a 4 star hotel room within walking distance to the venue for 90 dollars a night. it happened to be at the hyatt. the room was out of control. beds were like sleeping on clouds.
just go on the site, give the address of the venue and the dates you need, choose what star rating you want for the hotel and they will hook you up with a deal.

*buys bungee cords* there, that should tether me to the ground.

[Ghosts_on_TV]

Got 2!

[jrod00]

Just got 2 tickets.  Wicked excited.  Kinda pricey, $104 for a pair; but since this is a Sunday rather than a week day, I probably won't have to pay my sister an extra $50 to wait in line so I can get up front like I did for the Festival Pier show.

She was in line behind me!   ;D

That's right, I remember meeting you.. how goes it?  I'm pumped about this show.  Haven't seen 'em since the Festival Pier show; it'll be almost 2 years between shows for me.  

[deathstick]

I got mine yesterday, can't wait already!

[tdb810]

excellent!  shaping up to be a spectacular crowd!  can't wait to hang out and enjoy the day with you fine folks.

I was talking to a friend of mine about hotels in the area, she suggested one in New Jersey, right across the river, i think she said it runs about $70/night, and is about 10 mins from the venue. I think it's the Days Inn in Brooklawn,

Be careful where you stay across the River.

I'm from Jersey and you couldn't pay me to stay in some of the spots right over the Ben Franklin. I don't know enough about Brooklawn, but Camden is pretty sketchy. Definitely stay away from there.

Camden is pretty sketchy =  understatement of the year  :)

We may just drive back home that night....still figuring out the plans!

Yeah I know...I just didn't want to freak anyone out by saying "murder capital" of the country! ;)

Whenever we go to shows @ the Tweeter Center (Susquhanna Bank Center now), we always stay across the river in Philly. Never even gave staying on the Jersey side a thought.

[FiddleCastro]

Yeah, i'm driving back the night of, my friend's mom just suggested it, she's gone to shows in Philly and stayed there herself with her family, I'll ask her about the general area.

[manicfanatic]

According to Live Nation, for the month of June, no service fee for the Philly show.  Or any other show at River Stage.
