Seattle or Philly

Hi,

I am from Europe and I'm planning a trip to New York in the fall with hopefully a concert or two of PJ (this is the main reason I'm planning this trip).
I don't know however what to choose Seattle (hometown of PJ, I hear it is a very nice town, still early fall) or Philly (not far from New York, a lot of historic sites). Never been to either of those two cities and I've got to make my mind up before Monday of course.
Want to stay a week or two in total.

So I need a bit of your help: Seattle or Philly? What would you recommend?

    its about probability and your odds. on monday, try for seattle first since that goes on sale before philly. if you get seattle, you are good to go. if seattle is a tough ticket to acquire, wed is philly pre sale

    I would choose whichever is more convenient. I think if you're already going to be in NY then Philly might be easier to get to. It'd definitely be cheaper. Just my two cents. Good luck!

    I did think of that, but then there is the rumor of a third concert in Philly...choices choices...another two nights to ponder

    i think they're both going to be a great time... the album release/seattle shows will be amazing... the vibe at the philly shows is going to be insane... but philly will also be less expensive (most likely), especially since you have more time between when you book tickets/hotels.

    I'd say more of a chance to get Seattle tickets for both shows... Philly is going to go FAST. If I coyuld I would try for another city myself.

    Sha la la la i'm in love with a jersey girl

    I love you forever and forever :)
