    Megabus or the Chinatown bus are the cheapest, but suuuuck.

    Best way to go is train from Penn Station-->Trenton (NJ Transit)-->30th Street Station (SEPTA).

    Sorry - so Penn Station to Trenton you would take NJ Transit, and then from Trenton to 30th St you would take SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority), so you take two trains - one servicing NY/NJ and the other servicing NJ/PA.

    One-way ticket is like $16 I believe, and takes about 2 1/2 hours.

    The Amtrak Acela goes from Penn Station in NYC to 30th in Philly for around $50 one-way. And I think this takes around 90 minutes.

    Book now to get that price round trip. Prices fluctuate based on demand. Will only be that price for a very short period of time. Will jump to $55 each way then $78.

    Acela is great option (beers on board and quick) but the Mega Bus is the cheapest. They have WiFi on it so not awful.

    Is anyone else going solo on Night 2? I was only able to get 1 ticket through TM (got 10c tix for night 1). If so and you're coming north through MD, I'd be happy to carpool.

    Where in MD? I'll be driving from MD to pick a friend up in PA and then we are heading to Philly for Night 2.

    I have never been to Wells Fargo. My Seat is section 104, Row 4. Can anyone tell me how this seat will be? Sometimes the back lower bowl can feel farther away than side or behind stage, so I am just curious.

    Wes,
    I've sat EVERWHERE in the WF & your concern is valid! I'd much rather be on the side, as closer is ALWAYS better, unless you're behind the stage(VERY last resort)... If you are able to trade to get a little closer, I would try for the right side. I saw the RHCP in sec 107 directly across the stage & found myself watching the big screen, for the most part....Hope this helps Wes!

    The question asked was if the back bowl is a further view than side or rear view, the answer is yes! You can see fine anywhere in the building, except for a VERY few obstructed view.... The difference is if you want to see the performers life size or ant size!
