I was hoping 5/18 would be in a city far enough away from me that I woulnd't have to consider it, but....

Ok, so I am all set to go to MSG I and II, including hotel reservations. Coming from PA, Newark is a little closer, I can drive there and back same night. I guess the dilemna is spending more $, fitting it into a work week, son has a track meet that day...etc. But it is soooooo tempting!!!!!!!!!


what to do?!

    seriously, is there a dilemma here?

    I live in NYC and my wife and I are attending both msg shows and planning on newark. You can crash at my pad after newark if you need and check into your hotel the day after. Especialy if I dont get through tomorow and you have an extra.

    I know, I know... part of it is that I had a lot of shows planned this summer (and a lot of $ spent) before we knew PJ was going to tour, and with my family situation (already jumping through hoops for MSG shows) it just makes it difficult.

    not really a dilemna, but knowing I could go but deciding not is real tough - but in a good way.
  • Get_RightGet_Right Posts: 12,834
    you will regret it when they dont tour next year

    me, I cant sit at home when PJ is playing within driving distance

    only a medical or family emergency keeps me away (and perhaps one or two family commitments-but luckily my kids are still young)

    There's a two hour delay for members who have tickets to MSG, they'll probably be sold out by then.

    In all fairness,
    if youre able to drive to Newark and then home,

    you could do the same for MSG.

    In an effort to provide more tickets to our fans who were unable to secure a pair to either of the MSG shows, for the first two hours the pre-sale will be restricted to members who do not already have MSG tickets. At 12 noon Pacific time this restriction will be lifted should any tickets remain in stock.

    do you think they will actually be able to block people that got msg tix..i mean that cart time limit didnt really fully work last time just saying..im assuming though if someone with msg tix got through they would cancel there order

    If I was able to go (hoping & praying I can!!) I'd probably come from Penn Station >> PATH train to Newark
    Just was wondering: is the Prudential Center near where the Newark PATH train station is?

    It's within walking distance, about three blocks. There's also an indoor viaduct connecting the train station to the building.
