    driving down seems like the best option...

    I got a rental car for $190/week with unlimited miles...

    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...

    I ended up getting tickets to both MSG shows.

    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!
    Shows: Montreal 98, Barrie 98, Montreal 00, Montreal 03, Montreal 05, Ottawa 05, Toronto 06, Vancouver Night 1 08 (EV), Vancouver Night 2 08 (EV), MSG1 08, MSG2 08, Montreal Night 2 08 (EV), Toronto Night 1 08 (EV), Toronto 09, Hartford 11 (EV), Ottawa 11, Ottawa 16, Ottawa 22.

    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.


    Cheers...

    Both shows!! We are flying porter and staying in Manhattan
