    I use ParkWhiz and pick a lot, pre pay and your guaranteed a spot. I paid 50 bucks for 12 hours which is still cheaper than paying for 2 people to take the train and the subway from CT!
    There are $30 lots for the event (which I think they consider 6pm - 11pm) but I'm hitting up Wishlist for a bit and I don't want to go over that time limit if they finish late.

    ParkWhiz is fantasitc. The other day I secured a spot a 20 minute walk away from Barclays for the ceremony (enter after 4:30pm, exit before 4:30am) @ $15 less a $5 credit for $10 total. Not too shabby.
    Nice! I'm a block away from the WL party and I think another 2 from Barclay. By the time I get out of there I don't won't want to walk anywhere!
    $20 says we are in the same exact lot on Bergen
    Balls!!! Yes! I got ripped off!!! But still happy I have a spot and know where I'm going!!!

    Sorry, i can't afford another $20 :anguished: And it's a 20 minute walk? I thought it was like 5 or 10.
    I think you confused my post with 100 pacer... I was just saying we are in the same lot, I'm pretty sure we both payed the same for 12 hours
    ha. yea, sorry :blush:
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Before Brooklyn 1 in 2013 we hung out eating and drinking in a place called Woodland (if I remember correctly). Really nice place.

    You can tell a bands fans are getting old when the preshow conversation is about who has the best parking spot.

    Pretty good BBQ. Haven't been to the Brooklyn location but I've been to the original in Syracuse and the Troy location quite a few times. Usually pretty busy so if you're planning on going before the ceremony, try to get a reservation

    I assume this wraps up before 12am?

    I wouldn't bet on this. It starts at 7 (in theory) and the ones I went to in Cleveland were at LEAST 6 hours long. Each artist has someone give an induction speech, and the the artist speeches, video, performances, and then in between production changes etc.

    6 hours? That would be brutal to sit through. I hope you're wrong!

    Last years ceremony on hbo was like 2.5 hours. No doubt they edit this down though.

    Hopefully they release a schedule at some point soon. Have they provided a schedule for previous ceremonies?

    They usually edit out a significant amount for the TV broadcast. I went in 2012 and about half of it was gone when it eventually aired, it was over 5 hours live, 2&1/2 or 3 on TV, pretty sure some performances were cut out too. Not sure if they ever release a schedule, but usually the biggest act has been on last so it's probably PJ this year. I've heard from people who have gone to the last 2 at Barclays that they've been at least 5 hours long but they start right on time which is good. You can't really anticipate how long speeches are going to be, and you have bands like Yes where 9 people are getting inducted, so no way to get a good idea of timing. At least there's plenty of room in there for bathroom breaks.

    Definitely hit up 4th Ave. pub. Unless you are ordering Bud Lite or something like that. It's my favorite bar in the city and it's amazing. Gets a little nuts before shows though. Great beer selection and great staff. Backyard should be open.

    Less crowded option is St. Gambrinus which is a block or two away and excellent beers.
    Also the Kings Beer Hall is good and only a few blocks away.

    Minimum of 5 hours is going to be difficult, especially in the small seats at Barclays. I think I'm going to stay outside and get dinner, head in around 9. We have a few friends who are going in right away, I'll tell to text me if PJ isn't the last band and they go on earlier. Lol.

    Is traffic really an issue in that area or did I just have bad luck? I've been to a few Nets games on weekdays and every time (around 6pm), it takes me about 40mins-1hr to go a mile on Flatbush from the BQE to my go-to parking deck a couple blocks from Barclays. Driving from South NJ

    You're driving into Brooklyn at rush hour. That's par for the course on a week day.

    Concur. Consider NJ transit and transfer to the 2/3, goes right to Barclays.
