    Won first choice; Philly 1 Reserved
    lost second MSG 1 reserved

    Can someone tell me if I am a moron for not putting MSG 1 GA also?

    I don't think anybody won anything to MSG with less than a #1 ranking... you did fine

    right on, but technically I probably should have, because the option was there, right? However, my logic was less shows entered, better chance. But form what i have been reading, there is no logic involved...just luck of the draw it seems.

    does it seem like there are alot more night 1 than night 2 being spoken for in this lottery?

    i believe this to be true. i had night 2 reserve as my #1 choice but scored night 1 reserve as my 2nd choice.

    i could be dead wrong, just seems like alot more mention of night 1s... leaving extra quality tickets available for the general public which i'm sure prefer the friday night show. keeps comcast happy, while also making night 1 member-heavy, with a set catered to the fanclub more so than public...

    Pretty excited to win tickets for GA Night 2. This was my first time using the lottery as a 10c member and thus my first concert in the GA! Any recommendations for this rookie??

    Also, may be looking for a trade for ONE GA ticket on night 1 for ONE GA ticket on night 2. Will keep you all posted. Looking forward to meeting some of you at the show!

    I won for Night 2 and wondering what happens. Do I just go there with no tickets and wait in a Ten Club Line to get in to show my ID?

    Yes. No tickets in advance to prevent scalping. If you have reserved, you won't know your seats until picking them up the day of the show.

    Never been to Philly before so bear with me here:

    Does the Subway connect to the airport at all?

    How likely is it that if I stayed in a hotel by the airport I could get around via the subway?

    Will it get me to City Center or anyplace else interesting or am I just going to have to cab it all over?

    Trying to figure out if I can book a cheap hotel and still go someplace fun during the day before the shows.

    Philly resident here for the last 7.5 years, living right in Center City in Rittenhouse Square. So hopefully I can help a bit.

    1. Take the Septa regional rail to Center City from the airport. The Suburban Station stop is right downtown and will probably be closest to whatever hotel you stay at if you stay in Center City. There's a chance Jefferson Station will be closer though.

    2. I'd NOT recommend staying in an airport hotel. It's in the middle of nowhere. Center City is your best bet.

    3. All kinds of places to explore/eat/tour in Center City the days of the shows. Reading Terminal, all the historic sites in Old City, etc.

    4. The Broad Street Line (Subway) will take you right from Center City to the venue. It's about a 10-minute ride from City Hall or the stop right after it that I use (Walnut/Locust).

    If anyone was in GA in 2013, was there much room towards the back or was it packed all the way through to the back. How much of the main floor did it take over?

    Yep there was plenty of space. I went to two GA shows and chilled in the back for each one.

    I was up front for a couple shows in 03 and it was snug, but a little further back there was plenty of room. Over all, I would say they were very friendly pits. The crowds were energized but not rough like a lot of shows Ive been to.

    YES. It was great. While all everyone else squeezed to the front it left PLENTY of room at the back for a great view, drinking a beer(s), smoking a joint, and soaking it all in.

    So pumped for these shows.
