Santa Cruz is a 30 minute drive through the mountains from San Jo.

Berkeley is about 45-50 minutes from SJ

I have never seen a show in Berkeley so I cannot say which is a better venue. The Civic is pretty small however in SC.

Cool, I was hoping it would be under an hour each way. Kinda glad I got shut out of 10c presale do to the fact I can now buy up to 4 tix for each show. More people to enjoy with sounds good to me.

Santa Cruz is definitely closer, and a lot less chance for traffic on a Saturday than a Monday. Careful driving through the mountains though.

It's hard to say which place would be more enjoyable to visit. I am partial to Santa Cruz, but visiting Berkeley is probably a "bigger" experience... whatever that means!

I was lucky enough to get tix to both SC and Berkeley. And even though SC is further from where I live, I more exited for that show....the only reason for that is because it's on a Saturday, so I can enjoy the drive down there and have some time to hang out before the show.

Plus, as someone else mentioned, the SC venue "looks" much smaller...even though they have roughly the same seating capacity.

Welcome to the board!
