    I put in for Camden, and made a reservation at the Hilton Garden Inn, Camden Waterfront. Fully refundable if I get shut out of tickets.

    I booked the Hilton garden inn Camden, which I can cancel if I need to.  The more I read maybe I should get something across the river in Philly?  I see that Camden is not the safest town, but what about around the waterfront before and after a concert?

    it may have changed over the years I havent been there for a show in about 10 years at least, but there was never anything around there, a lot of tailgating before shows, you won't want to hang out anywhere in camden post show still i'm pretty certain. if you arent looking to shut it down after the show, i'd say stay in the city. plenty to eat and drink. worth the minor hassle of driving outa there. even cherry hill is close on the jersey side. but you would still have a whole night ahead of you in phila even on a wednesday. 
  • Count me in! I think it said that if you put in more choices you have a better chance of getting tickets. I put in for Reserved "seating" and also the lawn. Fingers crossed for reserved. I hope they start with your best choice first. Wish I could do the pit but I'm way too short, wouldn't see a thing, lol.

    Thanks!  I ended up cancelling the Hilton in Camden and got the club quarters downtown.  Traveling solo for it so not worried about being cramped and it’s cheaper haha.  Next decision is to Uber or rent a car.  This all of course is assuming I even get my ticket!

    What bar has the PJ pre parties been in Philly/Camden in the past?

    Good call canceling the waterfront hotel. The waterfront proper may be ok but to and from the venue could be treacherous. It is not safe

    I would not stay in Camden.  Stay in Cherry Hill or across the river in Philly.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me......

    I'm much meaner in person.
  • 10C request in, GA and reserved only.

    Agreed. You can take the ferry after the show across the river to Penn's Landing. There is a Hilton right there, but it's pricey. But it's much better to stay there than in Camden. Mt. Laurel is another option.

    So am I correct in saying that I have no way of prioritizing reserved seating/10C GA over the lawn in the 10C presale?

    Talk to me about this venue. I’m shocked it holds 25k. Looks like a regular amphitheater on the seating chart. That sounds like a ton of people for a venue like that.

    It is built into the lottery. Priority is GA  > Reserved > Lawn 


    If you don't want lawn, don't check it.
