also anyone know what time the SEPTA buses run til on Sat. and Sun. Will they be extended for the concert? Thinking of taking SEPTA now. figure it would be easier and probably a little cheaper.

Nothing past 12am it looks like. If PJ plays past curfew the train won't be an option. With 30-50k all leaving at the same time the normal 15-20 min walk to 30th just got alot longer. I think were driving now because of this.

Wait, SEPTA and PATCO are different, right?

I'm planning on taking PATCO over and I don't want to get stuck overnight... :?

If Pearl Jam is going on at 9 I don't think they are going to break curfew. I would think the city of Philadelphia wants to make sure commuters can get to the last trains out of the city and not have a bunch of out-of-staters stranded in Philly overnight.

First Last Train is to Warminster at 11:40. I am betting the concert is over by 11 and I'll easily make the 11:45 back to Trenton. With all the road closures in Philly I really don't think parking is our best choice.

They are scheduled for 2 hours. It all depends on what they decide to do..

Lolla 07: Scheduled for 2 hours, played for 1 hr 55 min.
Bonnaroo 08: Scheduled for 2 hours, played for closer to 3 hours.

Keep in mind, this festival is in the middle of a city like Lolla was...

Happy with where the VIP section is. Freaked out at first because of the statue but it's only really the entrance area that wil be blocked.

So GA is allowed in front of VIP?

How early will I have to get in there before it's blocked off?!

A little worse than I expected, but close enough. It looks like there is only room for a small amount of GA in front with the rest wrapping around and behind. Worst case scenario - Jump the VIP barricade and just keep moving forward. I doubt security will hassle anyone for breaking OUT of VIP

I bet the front will be one of those GA pits where they cycle people out after every act to let the next band's fans in. But, as I saw at Bonnaroo, the PJ fans who wanted into the pit had to be there at the day's open (around 12 or 1at 'Roo) to go sit in the line to wait for their turn to go in at night.

Glad they are playing night 2...I'd guess festival organizers would be much tighter with the cerfew on night one than night 2.

However to play devils advocate- also remember after lolla most of the people had to work and everything was open and running the next day, not so with this festival when most people have off and most businesses are closed.
