Any advice on a reasonably priced hotel to stay at for both the Ft Lauderdale and Miami shows that is perhaps somewhere in between? Flying into FLL and it seems kind of silly to switch hotels between the two shows, but don't want to be completely out of the way for both nights either. Renting a car is a given as we will likely head down to Key West for a couple of days after the Miami show. Never been to FL before, so any advice on the area is welcome. Thanks!
It's been a long time since I lived down there but isn't key west like a 7 hour drive from Miami? Hope you realize that before you go.

Google maps said like 3.5-4 hours? If it's 7, eff that.

It will take you at least two hours to go from the top of the keys all the way to the bottom of the keys (Key West). And it's Spring Break so it may take you 4 hours. That's just the Keys. Miami is obviously North of that.

Go to South Beach in Miami. Easier to get to than Key West and it's just as famous.

So what's your guess, which FL show gets the best set?
2nd or 3rd show.....

Miami or Tampa!
It won't be tampa. I was at the 08 show. Lamest crowd ever!!!
I've been to 22 shows. This was the worst by far.
Got that right. I'm saying Miami will be nuts and Jax will be special.

Made the drive from Fort Lauderdale to Key West last February in under 4 hours with a stop for gas. Left early on a Friday with little or no trafffic.

And there's no beach in Key West. Well there's one but it's small.

Miami and Jacksonville are my picks for the 2 best FLA shows

Going to Tampa (hopefully)
I've always had a great time there! I've never seen them anywhere else other than Tampa shows and Kissimee and the EV solo in Clearwater. Well, At least the fans in the area I was near were really fun and nice

I didn't see them in Tampa in 08, but the 2000 and 2003 shows were incredible

DSTRUB · January 2016

I'll be representing all 4 FL shows! Lotto I put in Jacksonville GA, Tampa GA, Miami reserved.

Totally just wondering but why does everyone think Jacksonville will be special? I mean I hope so lol. Because it's on a Wednesday?

justam · January 2016

When Ed played solo shows in Jacksonville in 2012, the audiences were very enthusiastic.

Important safety tip while driving.

Sometimes you will be driving in South Florida and it will look like no one is driving the car. Don't worry, this is our elder residents. If you look closely, you may see some knuckles on the top of the steering wheel. They are looking through the wheel. Please treat these residents with respect. They have a lot of knowledge to share with us.
One time, not too long ago... I was driving in Naples. I was on the standard 4 lane highway with a 50 mph speed limit which is what SW Florida is like. This elderly person just stops... literally STOPS right while driving, and pulls out a map to read it. I was floored. I'm in FL 20x a year and can't stand

1. They've never played there
2. Smallest of the four arenas
3. Not as popular as the other locations

I think PJ will do something special there and they will be warmed up being the 4th show of the tour.

I hope everyone is right about Jax. It's my only show of the tour, and in my new home venue.

I'm thinking reserved seats will be a near slam-dunk, GA will be the 50/50 chance!!

These should be some great shows to kick off Spring and the tour!!

You think reserved seating will be a slam dunk with odds around 60% for Miami & Ft. Lauderdale?

How many people that win GA for a show have that as 1st choice, and then reserved as their 2nd choice?

A ton of reserved seat choices will be negated when GA's are won!

I was thinking the same thing regarding the GA winners being removed and increasing the reserved odds. I really hope it works out like that. Entered for both MIA and Ft. Laud. Just want to get in the door.

Glentazman · January 2016

Entered for Jax and Miami. Working on a pre-party in San Marco for the show. Take over Aardwolf Brewery and perhaps get a collab beer from Grasslands Brewery just for that day.

rr165892 · January 2016

If flying in I recommend using Ft.Lauderdale airport not Miami.If going to both shows stay by the water in either Lauderdale or Miami.Everything is always around 20 -30 min away.Nothing out in the swamp out by BBand T really walking friendly anyway.
For example,if you stay in downtown Miami or south beach you just need to schlep up to bbandt for Friday night.But you would have all day to play sat and Sunday.You can get a great breakfast on a sidewalk table out in front of the Art Deco hotels in south beach.great scenery as well.
