    I went to the megasbus website and I did a search and I got;


    Your Selected Trips

    Note: All times shown are local time in that city.

    Mon June 23, 2008

    Toronto, Royal York Hotel - New York, Penn Station 1 seat = $1.00
    1 passenger

    9:00 AM Depart Toronto, Royal York Hotel
    New York, Penn Station 7:00 PM

    Thu June 26, 2008

    New York, Penn Station - Toronto, Royal York Hotel 1 seat = $1.00
    1 passenger

    9:00 AM Depart New York, Penn Station
    Toronto, Royal York Hotel 7:00 PM


    Reservation Fee: $0.50

    So 2.50 gets me to New York and back?

    something must be wrong here...

    wow if tickets are $2.50....mindblowing

    haha so what your saying is that i should be wary?

    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!

    so you can only buy tickets in pairs to msg i thought you were able to get them in singles. so does anybody wanna split the tickets with me?

    what? that has to be a problem with the Megabus site. I just checked and it's quoting me $2.50 total for a round trip from toronto to NYC.

    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.

    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.
