I also found out that from the Newark airport you can take the airtrain for $1.50 that brings you to downtown manhatten.
You have to transfer to NJ Transit train that will take to into Penn station (near MSG)
Mike: Nippleholic....Here is your solution. BUFFALO!
It is so cheap to fly to NYC out of Buffalo...esp JFK airport.
$195 RETURN!! You won't have to worry about parking or NYC traffic.
Thats my plan if i can find some jammers flying out of there who can drive me down with them. I have a place to stay...just need to GET there.
So anyone up for a Buffalo road trip??
If I can get there I wanna stay for the Hartford show too but if I can only get a ride home from Buffalo after the NYC shows then so be it, I'll just not do Hartford.
So anyone game on this plan??

So did the Ontario-contingent get tickets to MSG? My buddy and I lucked out with tickets to both.
I priced out flights from Buffalo and in the end decided to fly AC on the way down (same price as Porter) and the Porter on the way back. There was a bit of a price difference (not huge IMO), but the convenience of not having to drive to Buffalo won out! :-)
As for hotels, we found the Comfort Inn Convention Center for $188. Looks close to MSG and decent reviews on tripadvisor.com.

purchased 10C tix for both MSG shows, as well as Hartford and Mansfield (will be trying for the 2nd Mansfield concert 10C ticket reservation/purchase),...

Are you sure you can leave Canada?? Whenever i had rented a car they made sure to tell me the unlimited only counts if you stay in Ontario.
Yeah, my dad has a special business account with National that allows him such privileges...
Btw, if someone needs a ride down to NYC, I might be able to accommodate a couple extra bodies...

Decided i'm going to drive down and stay in Secaucus, NJ. From what i understand its a 15 minute bus ride (in non-rush hour traffic) to Port Authority which is walking distance to MSG.
Since i'm going for a week, staying at a nice hotel in Manhattan was pretty much out of the question at approx. $300-350 per night plus parking!

I think its safe to say that will be the best price any of us are going to find. Unless someone offers a free round trip, then we have a winner!
