I dont drive so if its kinda easy to get to the MA and CT show i want to go. Is it easy via train, metro north, chinatown bus?
Too many shows to list:
From my first show in Hawaii when they opened for RHCP to upcoming 2016 MSG and Wrigley. Seen them in every continent except Africa and Antarctica.

    I'd either take a bus or train to Hartford, as both are stops via Amtrak and Greyhound. Chinatown buses only stop in Boston from New York, so that wouldn't be an option. Public transportation-wise for MA, your options are basically nil since the show is in Mansfield and not Boston. I'd just go to the MSG and Hartford shows if transportation is an issue.

    Yeah Mansfield is not a good non-car destination. As I posted in another thread, last commuter rail train back to Boston is 10:17 PM, meaning you have to miss about half the set.

    Take the Metro North lines from Grand Central station to New Haven. (about $20 for non rush hour round trip tickets i believe) then take a bus into Hartford.

    and as far as I know, it's a bit of a hike from the train station to the venue.

    Bus to Boston. At least that's what I did to get to the Boston Garden. 2 days and nights in a row...
    you couldn't swing if you were hangin' from a palm tree in a hurricane.

    But the show isn't in Boston this time. Mansfield is a suburb south of the city (like 35-40 miles south), and not particularly accessible without a car or astronaut jet pack.

    yeah, but taking a jet pack is really cool though.
