    Thinking about heading to Fenway, accommodations seem to be extremely costly. I don't mind using public transit (subway preferred). Any tips on where to look? Anyone book anything recently? I'll be at the Seahawks Patriots game then said hmm why not stay a couple nights and check out PJ. (would be my 25th show)
    I live in Western Ma so I drive and stay in Newton,Ma.  There’s a light rail station about 5 minutes from hotel (Marriott) Riverside Station, cost $6 to park and less than $5 round trip.  About 25 minutes to Fenway or Kenmore stops (both close to Park).
    no kidding? i'm in WMass too. Still looking for GA/pit tickets for both shows.
    Very cool!  I’m out in Berkshire County.  Somehow got both nights but also chose to make them solo trips so that may have helped in getting both.  Good luck!
    Ed/PJ at Tanglewood needs to happen. 
    After seeing Beck w/ the Pops there a couple of weeks back, I can get down w/ this. 
    That Beck show was freaking awesome!  I think Ed/PJ at Tanglewood would cause chaos in Lenox.  That lawn would be packed haha.  Shed seats absolutely suck if you’re not close due to it being so flat.

    Hey Roger Daltrey was there in June maybe that’ll peak Ed’s curiosity of Tanglewood haha.

    Wouldn't miss them in my home state for anything!!! Will be attending both from B2 Row 1 (thanks 10c)! Have Season tix to PATS Home Opener (vs Seattle no less) on Sunday so will be heading straight from the RaZor to Fenway. Should be an EPIC day! They will also be shows 45 & 46 for me in my quest to 50. Saw them in Vegas this May after a couple of Dead Sphere shows and they were incredible. Heading to Saturday night at Wrigley for #44. Quest completes with 2 Auckland shows, Gold Coast, & Melbourne.

  • Boston has some of the best beer in the world. Trillium and Tree House are among the best. They have locations around Boston. You won’t regret making time for these two. 
    Can’t wait!
    I visited the Trillium brewery last year when I went to a NFL game. It was great. Excellent atmosphere, huge place, nice take away selection of beers and cool merch. Had a great meal and couple pints. I'll check the Tree House online and see if i can make it.

    I'm travelling for that NFL game. I'm a seahawks fan. That will be a large day for sure! I just changed my flights to catch the show on the 17th.

    I am going to both shows with my wife. Should we stay at the Boston Marriott Copley Place or the Royal Sonesta?

    Copley. You can walk almost anywhere from there, including to and from the shows. Sonesta I believe is across the river in Cambridge? Also an option, but definitely farther away from Fenway.

    THANK YOU! My wife is having some back issues, so we likely get a ride either way, and I liked the idea of a river view, but i'm all about being close to stuff. So Copley it is.

    We love the Westin Copley. Just had a stay there last week. But at $4k/night, skipping it this time around :)
