    Do you have a car while you're here?

    I have friends that live in Ocean Beach that are going to the show.. I just like to have my own room/privacy.. not big on sleeping on a couch.. so they will be driving me around...The Point Loma/Sports Arena area is very centrally located though and right off the freeway so even if I didn't have a rental car I would be happy there.. They have a free shuttle to and from the airport and a cab downtown isn't that much..Five minutes to the Ocean Beach Pier too..if you surf..:)
    Buy the ticket, Take the ride..

    10/20/91 (Omaha), 7/25/92 (Lolla/Denver), 3/7/94 (Denver), 6/20/95 (Red Rocks), 11/14/97 (Oakland), 6/23/98 (Denver), 10/25/00 (SD), 6/05/03 (SD), 10/8/04 (FL), 7/2/06 (Denver), 7/17/08 (VH1-Who Tribute LA), 10/6/09 (LA), 10/7/09 (LA), 9/3/11 & 9/4/11(PJ20), 12/06/13 (Seattle), 10/09/14 (Lincoln)..

    I still haven't made my reservation, but plan on staying at the days inn as you suggested.

    I was reading online that the cab companies don't cruise for fares in San Diego. Which leaves me wondering if I am not able to take my cell phone into the show, how the hell am I to arrange a cab back to the hotel afterwords? Kind of makes me want to book as close to the venue as possible.

    Anyway, look forward to meeting some of you there!

    i will probably be taking a cab back from the show too.. maybe to the show.. it is super easy to catch a cab in SD from downtown.. you also can take your cell phone in the venue.. you just cant take it out of your pocket or purse once the show starts..

    the cabs all line-up down in the gaslamp district where the shows are.. so that is not an issue..

    There are alot of cabs downtown so you should be fine...but if not, just go to a bar (there are a ton in the area), get a drink and have them call one for you! :)

    Staying at the days inn sea world too. Stayed here in 2003 after the show. Not a bad hotel, but decent, but I'm not here to see the hotel am I ?
    Let's see those 2013 dates in the southern states.

    Just a heads-up. Coronado is FAR away from the venue. It's an island and quite a bit aways. If you're not renting a car, you'll end up spending alot in cabs. :o

    Coronado is across the bay, but only about a 10-15 mile drive to the venue. If you have some time before the show you can hop the ferry across the bay for about $5 and then wander around downtown a little and hit up the pre-party at the Local. Probably have to cab back after.

    I'll be at Hotel Del Coronado. Hubby and I are having a short, kid-free vacation and I simply love that hotel. We'll probably hire a driver from the hotel to take us to the concert.
