    A cab isn't going to be cheap. Where are you coming from?

    depending on where you stay, you might be better off taking a cab, Tower is 20 min tops from center city.

    ok cool, cuz it seems that there is no hotels near the theater. thanks guys for the heads up

    Trust me... you don't want to stay "near" the theater. Try the hotel at U of P, I think it's called the Inn at Penn or something. Also you can try Howard Johnson's in Springfield which is 10 min away from Tower

    There's a few hotels at Penn. There's the Inn at Penn, Sheraton, Hilton, Penn Tower, etc. I used to go there. They're a little pricy but in a safe neighborhood.

    Great venue, shitty neighborhood, off the beaten path, but will be 2 AMAZING shows.....expect the EV camera's to be rolling those nights...

    Thanks Ed for making the last couple of years special. 8-)

    Cabbin it is a good idea, you may find it hard to find one after the show....You really don't want to end up wandering around that neighborhood late at night.

    What's amazing is that I am sure there were 100s of us that didn't read the info and thought they had scored tix (with ease), I checked the tickets section around 1:04 to see if anything looked "ready to drop" and everything was there. Felt like I won the lottery - I grabbed Albany and went over to the Pit to post they were up when I realized something was amiss. Went back and realized the times, they were a changin'. Anyhow, happy to even have an opportunity to participate. Truth be told, the old way was kind bullshit (total randomness), that said, I think the window of 2 days may be a little long. Good luck to all

    A cab isn't going to be cheap. Where are you coming from?

    Rittenhouse Square. I'm figuring the fare will be around $30 or $35 back to center city. If anyone wants to split a cab ride back, I'm all for it (If I get tickets). I live in Philly about 9/10 days a month, so I know the area well... I've just never been to the venue.

    This will be awesome! I can just schedule my work trip for the end of that week, and all my expenses are covered. Very cool!

    Now if only someone else gets tickets for Friday night, and wants to swap... I could easily hit up both nights. :)

    Yikes! That's a LOT of money.
    I hope you at least consider taking the Market-Frankford line if it's running to 69th that weekend. As far as I can tell, it's been 8pm on Friday that the closure starts, so at least Thursday you should ride.

    The Market-Frankford line costs $1.40 and will take you from the door of The Tower to Rittenhouse (or elsewhere in Center City) in 20 minutes.

    That's good to know... Maybe I'll do that instead. I figure a lot of fans will be riding the bus, so it will be a bit safer.

    I purchased a chance at the 6/12 tickets, but I only need one. Should I get them, would anyone want to trade 1 ticket for the 11th for one of my tickets for the 12th(should I get them).

    Send me a message so we can work out all the details before it is official!

    As I've pointed out in a few threads, this is absolutely ideal. But only if that line is running the nights of the show. They've been closing it on the weekends (starting at 8pm on Fridays) for quite some time, from what I gather. So for Thursday's show, it's a safe bet. But Friday might not be as easy.
    There will be so many people driving out of there that night, though, that I don't see it being too difficult to find someone willing to drop people off at 30th street station. I know if I have room in my car, I'll offer that up to anyone who needs it.

    I plan on driving and parking both nights, so I'd be happy to spare a couple folks cab or train fare if a ride is needed.
