Ok so if I stay at Loews in City center, flight gets in around 430, I should have enough time to check into the hotel and make it to the stadium in time. At least I think. Never been to Philly so I am not familiar with traffic ect

As long as your flights not delayed, you should be cool. Even with traffic, I can't imagine a cab/uber from the airport to the Lowes will take much more than 30 minutes. From there you can hop on the subway to get to the stadium.

Yeah, and if for some reason 95 was closed down then take regional rail to Suburban and you'll be good.

Loews is sweet - we're using that place for our wedding block for guests. And ya got the bar (among many, many others) Fergie's right around the corner.

Have fun with comcasttix...have a stiff drink ready

I've never scored tix using comcasttix. Crossing fingers

I got my wife Adele tix through comcast but it was by calling them. I was in a queue online forever.

was close to 8:15 last tour i believe. If i remember correctly took the stage around 8:15 and played until around 11:15 to 11:30 both nights. with no opening act i think they take the stage a bit earlier. someone can correct me if i am wrong though.

Guy earlier helped me out. He said to stay in City Center. Close to the subway and is about a ten minute ride on it to the stadium

Hilarious!
Some pulling hair out over not getting tickets to a concert 3months away when general public tickets aren't on sale yet while others are asking for stage times for a concert 3months away when the general public tickets aren't on sale yet!

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

this shit is chess, not checkers! lol

jniko

I'll look at city center for hotel. Thanks

Ms. Haiku

If I don't get Friday tickets I could go to a Phillies game. That would be fun.

There's the Rodeway Inn right in the middle of the city that's not the greatest but isn't super expensive. At least I don't think it is.

Just 'cause I'm curious it looks like the Loews' rates for then aren't terrible.

And there's something called the Bella Vista B&B which looks decent; good area, too.

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.

...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.

BikePHL

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