New York City, USA Hammerstein Ballroom - May 12, 2006 + general info

[Red Sox Fan]

Does anyone have a guess of about what time the concert will be over?? Last train leaves the city at 1:50 and I don't want to be left behind.

you'll make the train. Concerts in midtown are always over by 12:15 at the latest otherwise there is police intervention. Some rock clubs downtown let them play until 1am.

back in 1991 i think it was i got stuck in nyc until 3:30 when the first bus left b/c the shows went so late

any good (cheap) hotel tips for NYC or the surrounding area Jersey/North of NYC (by train)?

brooklyn, I know there are cheap ones there...

Well, I went into www.hostels.com and I found a 20 mins walking hostel to stay... I mean, you have to share the room... but for 47 USD per night and free breakfast.... It's Gn'R, man..... anything goes...... if you want extra help with that, you can PM me.....

The Chelsea star hotel is where i'm saying. They have single rooms, and dorm rooms all well under 100 bucks. I'm staying in the dorms for 37.00 a night taxes in.... I'd rather share the room with fellow gunners though

thanks for all of the tips on hotels, I haven't been to NYC since 1998 and flew that time.  this time I am driving so, my primary concern would be where would I be able to park my car for about 3 days.

I'm considering to drive, but I think I'm going to drive down to someplace like Tarrytown and take the train into the city.  I'm sure you could do something similar unless you plan on needing your car in the city.

Most hotels Valet, but charge almost 40 dollars a day.

how old are you? if you're over 21 it's not that big a deal. You can kill time in a bar which are open til 3-4am. I do it all the time. Especially during the winter , here's always a place to wait so you don't freeze.

    i'd recommend for those of you that are like me financially demlished (especially after the massive ticket buy-out) to give a serious think-over to hostels...not as fancy and luxurious (and most likley not as comfortable) but you'd be saving quite a lot of money)

I have a good feeling Axl is going to commend the forum members on the 12th for helping each other out with tickets. I'm really impressed what with management and the entire gnr online community. Too anyone who says you can only think about yourself...TAKE THAT!

lol...It's Axl Rose...I'm less worried about what time the concert will end and more concerned about what time it'll start. When GNR played the garden 3 years ago, the show was supposed to start at 9 and I believe it ended up started at midnight.

If you have tix for these shows, you're in for the long haul...and I couldn't be happier

naa that was the famous Nassau Coliseum show in like 1991,, I am pretty sure the Garden show in 2002 started on time, or around on time
