and people were busting balls when people were booking rooms 3 months ago...

this shit is chess, not checkers! lol

I worked in the hotel business for over 16 years in Philly. At the end of April, the city is starting to ramp up for peak season. If the shows were a week or 2 later, rooms would be hundreds of dollars more per night.

ouch!

...also looks like there's decent rates on Airbnb for entire houses/apts in the South Philly area for less than hotel room prices.

just seems like a bunch of night 1s already up for trade, not so many night 2. also noticed quite a few on here, as well as multiple friends of mine got night 1 with 2nd claims... haven't noticed this with the night 2s as much. made me wonder if they could have gone with more 10c seats night 1, leaving more seats for comcast/public sale night 2.

Ill be hanging out with you folks in GA on night 2!

Just booked Loews at City Center. Hopefully close to where 10c fans plan on meeting before the show! So psyched

Never been to Philly before so bear with me here:

Does the Subway connect to the airport at all?

How likely is it that if I stayed in a hotel by the airport I could get around via the subway?

Will it get me to City Center or anyplace else interesting or am I just going to have to cab it all over?

Trying to figure out if I can book a cheap hotel and still go someplace fun during the day before the shows.

It does not; but it is connected to the bus system and - more importantly - the regional rail system. This will take you downtown from the airport. SEPTA will get you any and everywhere you want to go in the area - just a matter if you want to take more than the subway.

Pretty excited to win tickets for GA Night 2. This was my first time using the lottery as a 10c member and thus my first concert in the GA! Any recommendations for this rookie??

Also, may be looking for a trade for ONE GA ticket on night 1 for ONE GA ticket on night 2. Will keep you all posted. Looking forward to meeting some of you at the show!

Okay, so from what I gather the Regional Rail System is an elevated platform train like they have in Chicago? How late does that run usually?

Is it likely that any hotels by the airport would do a shuttle service to and from the airport?

I used to live in Chicago and I got around on the train system there a lot. I've also been brave enough to embrace it in NYC.

If I can get from an airport hotel to the Regional Rail System I think I'd just wing it.

The regional rail (Airport Line) will connect you from the airport to center city but it's like 25-30 minutes depending on where you are going. Cab/uber is probably about the same timing depending on when your flight gets in. There are three center city stops - 30th Street Station, Suburban Station, and Jefferson Station. If you're staying in one of the downtown hotels you're going to get off at Suburban and if you're staying in Old City get off at Jefferson. It's the same price to any of the three center city stops.

If you're staying at the holiday Inn get off at Suburban and get on the Broad Street (orange) Line going south. I would probably just take cab/uber if you're staying at Holiday Inn or airbnb near stadiums.

Keep in mind if you stay at a hotel near the airport the regional rail (Airport Line) doesn't run all night so if you're out in center city after the show you're going to have to cab it back.

No, we have the EL - that's also the subway....when it's above ground, mostly on the Market-Frankford Line (runs west-eats through the middle of the city).

This is a train more like a poorer-looking Amtrak - check the schedule here: http://www.septa.org/schedules/rail/w/AIR_0.html

To get off in the middle of the city get off at Suburban Station or Jefferson.

And if you're good with 'wingin' it, then this'll do. You can pick up the subway (which will drop you off right at the arena) from Regional Rail at 30th Street Station, or Suburban (which links you up with the City Hall subway stop).

ALSO, the confusing part is regional rail require cash for a ticket, and the subway requires exact fare of $2.25, or buy tokens at a token machine for $1.80/token.
