I'm looking for someone who's going down to Buffalo from Toronto.. I have a bad member number - 357xxx - but I will buy a pair and take you for free in exchange for letting me catch a ride to Buffalo and back to Toronto. If someone wants to use their number instead, I'd pay for the pair for a ride as well! For the record, I'm a twenty-year old guy who loves this band and music in general. :D

    not to hijack your thread, but i'm looking for a drive back to Toronto from the Buffalo show as well...i don't need a drive to the show (coming up from NYC), just the way back..

    i've got a 260xxx number and would sell my extra ticket to someone who can lend me a ride..

    benjs - when did you want to come back?

    I am 90% driving from Toronto on the 10th in the afternoon, but I have to drive back after the show.

    To be honest, that would work out perfectly for me... problem is, I may or may not have my license at the time so I can't exactly make any promises about being able to help out with the drive itself, but I'd gladly chip in for gas, buy your ticket for you, and provide good music and company :mrgreen:

    I'll check with the boss (my wife) and let you know.

    I am good to drive the whole way and don't need any money for gas.

    Less then a 2 hour drive from Toronto to Buffalo? Man! It takes me 12 hour's from Halifax to Montreal, 11 hours from Halifax to Boston to see my favorite band via Car. Closest East Coast Pearl Jam show's.

    Wish I lived in Toronto!

    Just checked Google Map's & it say's 1h 44 minute hour drive from Toronto to Buffalo. I could do it probably an hour or so the way I drive. Point is you guy's are all so close in middle Eastern America that life must be good. Able to see the band not just in one state but in many many states in a short distance of time.
