You can take the underground public transportation from north shore to us steel stop. You would only have to walk a few minutes from hotel and arena to where the entrances are. South side flats are pretty safe though the bars on the south side attract a younger demographic and all the problems associated with aforementioned age group.schaefferlax said:Just booked the residence inn in North Shore. Is that 30 minute walk pretty safe generally? Also, is south side flats safe?0 -
I'm just curious, what year did the fan club tickets move from "almost always" getting tickets to a lottery system? I know it's been a long time now, but I remember in those early years, it was guaranteed, or it sure worked out that way from 1996 when I joined to at least 2016 as far as I know.

I feel like it was lottery by at least 2010? It was definitely lottery in 2014 because I lost on Detroit.MD7886 said:I'm just curious, what year did the fan club tickets move from "almost always" getting tickets to a lottery system?

I remember those shows, weren't they a "dry run" to test the new priority system or something?

I got two for N1 pretty jazzed up to visit Pittsburgh as I have wanted to go there for a while and am a Steelers fan suffering football in Chicago.
Any hotel suggestions don't need to be near arena but would like more for entertainment district if not one in the same.
Thanks0 -
Would be helpful if when someone says they got tickets, to remind us how recently you were notified. "Helps" us who are still anticipating.(says the guy with under 40 posts in 15 years). LOLPost edited by MD7886 on0

First time in Pittsburgh. What’re some fun things to do? Need stuff to occupy the day Saturday between shows! Was also wondering how the Polish Hill area is? Booked an AirBnB in that neighborhood because it was nice and affordable as well.0

Pretty sure the 2013 tour was the first lottery. Before that it was seniority - so it wasn't technically "guaranteed" but if you had a good number then it was virtually guaranteed. There was a lot of fan pushback at the time about the same people always getting the best seats, so that's why the lottery came in.MD7886 said:I'm just curious, what year did the fan club tickets move from "almost always" getting tickets to a lottery system?

Not a lot to do in Polish Hill, but you will be just below the Strip District which has a lot to offer.tommymueller9 said:First time in Pittsburgh. What’re some fun things to do?

It makes sense. I saw (3) shows in 96, and (2) in 1998, and several in the early 2000's and I would run into the SAME people in the seats around me. If anyone was there, especially the 1996 shows - does anyone remember the guy dressed up as a white cow? Random but unforgettable.PittsburghPJ said:

Polish Hill is mostly residential but is sandwiched between lots of trendy neighborhoods. Walkable depending on how far a "walk" is to you. Butler Street in Lawrenceville is up the road from the Strip, which is hipstery, lots of bars/restaurants/shops.
The best touristy thing if the weather is nice is to ride the incline and walk around the top of Mt. Washington. The view is great, and there's lots of places to get a drink up there.YNWA0 -
Here are some things to do in Pittsburgh - copied and pasted from my wedding website LOL, written by me for the out-of-towners that came in for the wedding
Primanti Bros.
46 18th Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15222, (412) 263-2142The original location for the classic Pittsburgh sandwich. The #2 best seller is the cheesesteak - ask them what the #1 bestseller is! While you're here, take a walk down Liberty and Penn Avenues in the heart of the Strip District to find street vendors, markets, and international groceries.
ViewCarnegie Museum of Art
4400 Forbes Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15213, (412) 622-3131Katherine's place of employment when she met Mike and a world-renowned institution. There's also lots to explore in the surrounding neighborhood of Oakland, home to both the University of Pittsburgh - Mike's alma mater - and Carnegie Mellon University. Mike recommends seeing the Cathedral of Learning and Phipps Conservatory.
ViewThe Andy Warhol Museum
117 Sandusky Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212, (412) 237-8300Another recommendation from Katherine, the Warhol features a permanent collection of works by Pittsburgh's most notable artist as well as rotating exhibitions featuring contemporary artists influenced by his legacy.
ViewPNC Park
115 Federal Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15212Regularly voted the most beautiful ballpark in the majors. If the Pirates aren't in town, explore the North Shore via the walking and biking trails that take you along the banks of the city's iconic three rivers. Walking bridges span the water at regular intervals, taking you over to Point State Park and Station Square.
ViewDuquesne Incline
1197 West Carson Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, (412) 381-1665Ride the incline to the top of Mt. Washington and take in the truly incredible skyline of downtown Pittsburgh. Walk down Grandview Avenue and stop for lunch or a drink along Shiloh Street.
ViewGooski's
3117 Brereton Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15219, (412) 681-1658Pittsburgh has LOTS of great dive bars. This is a good one.
ViewHop Farm Brewing Company
5601 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, (412) 408-3248Just one example of the Pittsburgh craft brewing scene. Also check out Dancing Gnome, Brew Gentlemen, Voodoo, and a ton more. You can also walk down Butler Street, where Hop Farm is, to take in the trendy neighborhood of Lawrenceville. Just about every door you pass will feature top-notch food, creative cocktails, or boutique shopping.
ViewAPTEKA
4606 Penn Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15224Pittsburgh was built and inhabited by blue-collar immigrants, and APTEKA serves classic Eastern European fare - with the slight difference that everything on the menu is vegan. Great food in a cool atmosphere.
ViewMorcilla
3519 Butler Street, Pittsburgh, PA 15201, (412) 652-9924A top restaurant in Lawrenceville, Morcila serves Spanish pintxos and tapas from award winning Pittsburgh chef Justin Severino.
ViewTriangle Bar and Grill
2122 Monongahela Avenue, Pittsburgh, PA 15218, (412) 471-1900For a more laid-back lunch and a true Pittsburgh experience, order a battleship sub at the Triangle. Located in Swissvale, three generations of Yazvacs have been coming here. Also a Thrillist Top 33 sandwiches of America.
