    Venue description on Live Nation says for sell-out shows they offer free shuttles from parking garages in downtown Hartford. Anyone tried this?

    In 2006, we went to the venue in the late afternoon to pick up our tickets and also bought the special preferred parking pass, which I think was $20 or so.

    Later that night, we drove back to the venue and parked without a problem. And after the show, we got out of the parking lot very quickly.

    It was definitely money well spent and I would do it again.

    Sounds good to me, I will probably end up doing this.

    If parking in the venue parking lots I suggest parking near an exit with you car facing out toward the exit gate. Not so easy to do, but I have to tell you 06 was a nightmare. BF had to walk in front of car kicking all the bottles out of the way just so we could get to the exit.
    Seeing as it is a Friday the lots will be full and there will be tailgating. Whoever says they do not let you Tailgate is parking somewhere else, maybe in the $20 preferred parking lot. Hartford has a lot of colleges around, so there are those packs of drunken monkeys to deal with. No offense to college students ;). I was one once.
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Nice to see this opinion of Hartford, because I've seen a lot of people really slamming it ... I'm coming there for the first time ... is a bus or train from NYC at all practical? Can you get close enough to the venue? I'm PSYCHED for this one too!

    well you can take metro north to new haven and transfer to amtrack to hartford
    I think that is a bit cheaper than amtrack direct to hartford

    hartford is a small city, you could walk to the venue fromt he train station if you are used to NYC walking, or its a very short taxi ride

    coming back might be a problem as I dont think the trains run late back to the city
