Closest airport:
Philadelphia International Airport (PHL)

will be heading down for this show too

I will be there as well!

will definitely be there! so psyched for a local show.  : ok:

i'm getting 8 tix myself tomorrow. i have another 4-8 friends express interest and i am hoping they get tix on their own. if i can get a group of about 14 or so, we'll probably rent a yellow school bus that would leave from NE philly around 5, convenient ride there and a warm place to tailgate.   

unfortunately, there is not really a good place to meet up before the show. if the ferry was running, there would be tons of great options across the river in philly. that is still a possibility since there's a train that goes from philly to camden, or if you are driving its just a quick 5 minute drive. but it's kind of a hassle - parking in philly is annoying, and if you take the train you have to walk about 2 blocks through camden which isn't the most pleasant walk.  :hihi: 

if the weather is decent, meeting in the parking lot is an option. i'll bring plenty of beer to share.  :beer:

yea might as well count me in for this one too !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in. I got GA.  :beer:

How is the Susquehanna Bank Center in terms of seeing a show? I am in section 102 straight on. Tickets were expensive for this show.

when do tickets go on sale to gen public?

Saturday 10-1-11 10:00a.m.

it's very good, especially where you are. you will have a good view of the stage. even in the back of the 100 level is decent cause you are not too far. but 102 is a great section because it is center stage. the view from sections 100 and 104 is a little annoying because you are looking at the stage from an angle. and if you are near the outside walls, the view is average and you feel far from the stage.

sound varies inside this place as well. it's best when it's an indoor show, as this one is. again, in the 100 level the sound is very good. i think you will be pleased with it.

I switched to 104, 10 rows back and I'm right on the stage aisle side

The cops are just waiting for you to cross the tracks to the street with beers/cups in you hand.  Bustin guys left and right at Crue/Poison.

that sucks but I guess rules are rules. Nice of you too give people a heads up. I remember the Hammerstein shows and how the NY cops were nice enough to let people dump there booze in the gutter. I think one guy got a ticket out of everyone. Not an issue for me but again nice of you too warn people.

There's no revenue coming in thanks to the unemployed.  They've got to get funds some way.  As long as they leave us folks driving a little too fast alone and pick on the drunks, I'm good!

Thanks for supporting your local police.

Also be very careful driving around the area to get to the verizon ampitheater.  Going to see Pearl Jam, I hit a GIANT speedbump by a school that is a block from the place...it screwed my alignment up pretty bad and knocked some things loose.  Couldn't even see the speedbump.

And yes the police are always brutal around that place....I'm not going there ever again for anything.  I will stick to Wilkes-Barre.

I will be at this show as well in section 100!

How is parking at this venue?

really good, right next to the venue, but its like 25 bucks...

How long have I been at this site, and I still didn't realize this section was where folks say they'll be at the show? 
I am there!!!!  I can't fucking wait!!!   :yes:
Section 202...me, 2 friends of mine, my bro-in-law, and whatever girl he's with at that point...in a matter of days after I got tickets, he changed girls.  The over/under is on 2 more changes before November 26th.  :hihi:

Hopefully the weather's okay...a little bit o' tailgating would be a blast!  No beer for me, but thanks for the offer Sandman!  I've been gluten-free for almost 2 1/2 years!

I'd love to meet up with fellow HTGTH'ers again.  See ya'll later!   :peace:

$900 later, I'll be there with bells on. GNFNRS  :smoking:

I bought 14 tix and got rid of them all!  : ok:

What are VIP tix ?

I will be at the show sect 104 row g

Hi, could anyone kindly advise me please if I can catch/call a taxi after the show to some hotel in Philly near to the venue?  I was planning to ride a tour bus from NYC to the venue that was to depart to NYC 30 minutes after the show, but it was canceled today.  Therefore now I am thinking to use train to go/return to/from there, but I know today that Camden is not so safe place (sorry for my ignorance, I came to the states just 3 weeks ago) and it seems I cannot walk 30-60 minutes at night to some hotel in Philly.  If there will not be any taxi available at around 1:00am (or anytime after the show), I should leave the show early at around 11:00pm to catch the last NJ transit train to NYC.  (BTW, will the band hit on stage at around 10:00pm??  Is it too optimistic?)

Also, I believe just walking from the arena to the nearest Entertainment Center Station Camden should be OK even in the night, isn't it?

Any advise would be very much appreciated.  Thank you in advance.

I am not sure about taxis. U may want to call the venue.

The show will probably end around 2am.

My cousin lives downtown philly and is planning on taking PATCO to philly after the show. It runs all night once an hour and it is about $3-$4 dollars each way. It should be ok after the show because there will be a number of people doing the same thing. Its about 2 to 3 blocks away, but as long as you r walking with a group of 10+ people you should be ok.

No need to apologize.....camden is a shit-hole. One of the highest crime rates in the country.

Welcome to the states! Enjoy philly and enjoy the show!!!!

Thank you very much for your kind advice, I did not know about PATCO and it is a GREAT HELP!!  Thank you again, and please enjoy your Thanksgiving holiday too!!!

Really hoping we get There Was A Time for this show !!!!!

Thanks! no problem. if you have any other questions, do not hesitate to ask. i'm very familiar with Philadelphia, and there's a number of posters on here that have been to severla shows at this venue. and we'll all checking this site quite a bit these days!

 :beer:

Got (2) GA available for tomorrow night if anyone wants them, let me know. Live in Northern NJ and can meet up tonight or down towards Central NJ tomorrow.

Are you going to the show? I may have one or two people interested, but i wont know until mid-day tomorrow. I will already be on my way down there. But could meet u before the show if u r going.

I'll be in the Bridgewater area in the afternoon - a couple things came up and won't be able to make it. Can travel a bit though if someone needs to meet up.

If you hear people loudly chanting for them to play Coma, that'll be me and my crew.  :hihi:
