Great small arena to see Guns at!

[Bodhi]

awesome, im there!!

[ChiDem2010]

For a second I thought Raymond the Amish Comic was opening for GnR. That would be kind of cool actually.

[BurningHills]

I'll be there 100%!

Let's rock and roll, boys and girls. 

There's plenty of restaurants and bars on the same road that the arena is on (Highland Park Boulevard) - plenty of options for a pre-party meet up.

There's a TGI Fridays right down the road - I usually hit that up before shows up in Wilkes Barre. Just an idea but like you said, there's a bunch!

Yep, Friday's, Lucky's Sportshouse, and the Arena Bar & Grill are all solid choices.

Too bad that Bennigan's closed down..loved that place. The hibachi joint that took its place is pretty cool, though.

Just got this on Facebook from the arena (they also created an event page)...

I'll be at Lucky's...let's do it up there!

[BurningHills]

My only concern is if I get GA, I'm going to get there as early as possible to ensure a spot down front. May make a pre-show a little difficult on my end, but I'd definitely love to meet up and hang out.

[cotis]

Pre-show tailgate in the parking lot maybe?

That works! 

[sandman]

probably going to this show. trying to figure out between this one and hartford.

i was hoping to hit both hartford and WB, but might be tough for me to pull that one off. my wife is pretty cool, but being away an entire weekend right before the holidays might be pushing it a little. especially when the following saturday after Thanksgiving will be entirely dedicated to GnR as well. 

if i'm only hitting one, WB just makes more sense because of the shorter drive (2 hours vs 3.5 to Hartford). although i will miss the Eagles-Giants Sunday night game, but F it. i've been waiting years for Gnr and can watch the eagles look like shit any sunday. 

so i'd be up for meeting anyone that will be hanging out before the show. tailgating sounds good. just checked and there's a Hilton Garden Inn right next to the stadium which is freakin sweet! no driving necessary!

Yep...the Hilton Garden Inn is right across the street.

Yeah you are right the area near the arena does have a lot to chose from. I never been to this arena and funny thing is I grow up about 30 mins away. I had tickets for the show in 02 but then it got moved to the 2nd Philly show.

I just noticed they are having a presale also on Thursday 10:00a.m.  Anyone know what this presale is with?

Hahaha, that would be badass.

[BurningHills]

Here's an idea...

All of us forum members should look out for each other if you're doing GA. Whether it's holding spots in line outside the venue, or holding spots on the guardrail down front.

We gotta make it happen. 

[icpillusions]

I'll be there. I'll welcome anyone from the board by me in the GA. Just gotta figure out what to wear to be distinguishable. Heh

[damnthehaters]

How do you think this show will sell??  This is PA, and the people of PA haven't had a good history with GNR.  I've already read multiple reports about previous chaos.

I think it will sell well. I know other bands in the past like AC/DC, Kid Rock, and others did well if not sold out.

I think it'll do well.

GN'R hasn't played in Wilkes-Barre since 1988. Major plus.

Shows in '91 and '02 were both canceled.

That being said, a lot of people in this area haven't been willing to give Axl a fair chance.

I'll be there - in the end, that's all that matters.
