Put all my eggs in the Worcester basket for my first lottery and scored GA tickets (yes, I'm "that person" with a low number who got their first choice but is incredibly thankful).

Boston 2010 was one of the best experiences of my life, I cannot WAIT. My PJ buddy and I are set with days off of work and grad school respectively to drive out from Cambridge and experience it.

I'm also thanking my lucky stars that I moved up here from Florida 7 years ago. This schedule has been pretty rough on some of my friends down south.

See ya'll there!!!

Thanks for rubbing it in....I've been in FLA for 7 years (from Boston)....Got GA for Worcester, cant wait.

Worried... It is gonna be tough getting any NE shows at the public sale. It doesn't help when one lost out in presale. And then to hear about folks on FB who got 2 or 3 yet are unhappy that they didn't get all 7 they requested. :(

The plus, all shows are on sale at the same time, thus making it a lil easier to get tix to the show you want and making it harder for some people to get tix to numerous shows.

Get online on time, be ready and I think you'll be fine if you have a decent computer setup.

I will be there! Very excited! GA as well.

Any advise what is the best ways to get from New York(Brookly) to Worcester and back? probably only for 1 night - 15 - 16th? I checked Amtrak, but it takes too long:(

Thanks

Check the bus lines. Many go right to South Station in Boston and you can take the commuter rail directly from there to Worcester. Or fly to Logan, silver line to South Station.

chain

Where's the beer?

Any suggestions on where to go before the show?

Probably will be staying at the Worcester Hotel...

Paradajzar

Thanks....looks quite ok....

question only....do I need to buy tickets from Logan to South Station, and then to Worcester in advance, or on the day of travel......and is it expensive and how long does it take to get from Airport to Worcester?

Thanks really for support....

Logan to South station will be on the subway, no need to buy tickets in advance, and then commuter rail to Worcester you buy tix at South Station. Not sure exact time of train ride, but I'd assume at least an hour and a half total with stops figured in to make the 2 trips (probably 15-20 minutes to get from Logan to South Station will have to take blue line then switch to Orange at State and then swith to Red at next stop Downtown crossing and go 1 more stop to South Station, and then I'd guess roughly an hour for train to Worcester)

I think the silver line bus also can get you from Logan to South Station, may be a little quicker than the subway.

Are you from the area? I'm assuming you are talking about the Worcester Motel? I can tell you from the bottom of my heart that is the last place you want to stay.

Paradajzar

Thanks a lot,

I am just trying to figure out the most convenient and not to expensive way to get to Worcester, and not to be too late in the town, so we can stil get some beers before the show. I guess I will meet some of you at some pub. Is anyone organising something??:)

It_Wasnt_My_Surface

What about The Smokestack? It's right at the end of Green St. It would be a 3-5 minute drive from the bar to the venue. Food is fantastic, tons of beer choices.

We have been checking prices too and we just confirmed our room at the Marriott Courtyard in Worcester. It looks like it is super close to the arena. Free parking and we can save the cab fair! Done and done!

I've stayed at that Courtyard a couple of times, it's very nice and close to DCU

Paradajzar

I am in:) Wherever you say, I'll be there;))

I believe the Silver Line is even free from Logan to South Station. Here is the specific commuter rail schedule you'll need to get to Worcester. If you can get an express rather than a local your trip will be faster. TIP - buy your commuter rail ticket at South Station or in advance if possible. They will try to ding you an extra $3 if you buy it on the train itself.
