[cotis]

will be heading down for this show too

[Bodhi]

I will be there as well!

[sandman]

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

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.   

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

[GnR-NOW]

[MR.BROWNSTONE]

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.

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.

[GnR-NOW]

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.

[willow]

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.

[GunnerOne 84]

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

[GnR-NOW]

How is parking at this venue?

[Bodhi]

How is parking at this venue?

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

[Axl4Prez2004]

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!!!   
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. 

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!   

[Alfie Bones]

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