Do we have any idea yet on the Arena's policy regarding GA waiting/lines?

Phx27 · 02-12-2005, 10:04 AM

I'll give them a call sometime this week, or find someone at the arena when I go to the lacrosse game next weekend, and try and find out what their policy is going to be regarding that.

Desert Dog · 02-12-2005, 12:36 PM

any friends of Bill W. coming to the Phx shows?

bonoed · 02-14-2005, 08:27 PM

I had a really hard time on the fwy when I was there going to the Cricket Arena, so I took the street, Camelback all the way, because the fwy just sat there. I was sort of hoping they would do America West arena just because just up the block were hotels you could walk to it from. I'll probably do surface streets to this one too since it's a weekday again with work traffic, the fwy's there were just like L.A.'s.

Phx27 · 02-14-2005, 08:41 PM

America West Arena does have a more central location that's probably a lot more friendly for out of towners, but in all reality, that place is a huge pile of crap compared to the Glendale Arena. Overall, the traffic is going to be a lot less terrible around the Glendale Arena, as opposed to downtown Phoenix. I can remember it taking over a half an hour sometimes to get out of the area right around AWA after a hockey game. Except for the first few games, when they were still figuring out the traffic plans, it's never taken me more than a few minutes to get out of the traffic at Glendale Arena. Plus, Glendale Arena has lots and lots of free parking, so you won't have to sign over the rights to your first born child in order to get a parking spot within a reasonable distance to the arena.

And Bonoed, I'd recommend staying somewhere in the Arrowhead neighborhood. It's a lot closer to the arena than anything on Camelback. If you're coming from around downtown in the evening on a weekday, you're definitely going to run into insanely bad traffic. Arrowhead can get bad, but as long as you avoid Bell Road, you're usually in pretty decent shape. It's definitely not going to be as bad as rush hour traffic downtown, especially since you'll likely be going against any rush hour traffic, rather than with it. There's plenty of places to stay around there, and there's a large variety of resturaunts and such in that area. It's generally a much nicer neighborhood than just about anything downtown, as well.

Anyone with an extra GA for the 4/15 show, that wants to see the 4/14 show? (I have 2 GA's for 4/14, and want to trade one for a 4/15 GA)

martha · 02-20-2005, 08:46 PM

I'll be in Phoenix for Friday's show. I accidentally got a GA when I was trying for cheap seats.

I'll be driving out from OC that day, so I have no idea when I'll make it to the line. I'm not that concerned though. Whatever happens is fine.

joyfulgirl · 02-21-2005, 07:19 PM

I have GAs for Friday but I also have a pretty important work conflict that I am now almost sure is going to change but I'll know for sure the end of this week. I can't get too excited yet but it looks good.

About the bathrooms, when I waited in the GA line in Indianapolis the nice security guard let us inside the building, one or two at a time, to use the bathroom. I happened to be let in while U2 was doing soundcheck. I had to just go straight to the bathroom and back but I lingered on the toilet for the duration of "Stay."

trish0860 · 02-21-2005, 07:37 PM

Coming in from the OC as well for the 1st show. Phx27 thanks for all the info about hotels, traffic, bathrooms, etc. I have two GA tix for the 14th and I'd be willing to trade you for your section 110 seats, if you have two, that is. I plan on coming in on Wednesday so we could meet to trade if you're interested. If not, I'll see everyone in line on the 14th!

srk2fd · 02-27-2005, 10:50 AM

There's a guy on craigslist selling 4 GA tickets for the 4/15 concert...he's included 4 tickets to an official after-party which will include the band. He claims to work for Sony music, which is how he got ahold of the tickets, and one of the band members is dating a family member of his. I think I'll pass...

Tech · 02-27-2005, 12:40 PM

Well I'm not positive yet but I do have a GA for the 1st show. I would be coming from Long Beach, CA though by my lonesome. That's allright. I just have to make sure I can make it. IF I can thanks for all the info about hotels and stuff. Very useful. Hope to make it down there. If not have lots of fun for me!!

Kicking ass or taking names?

From what I know about Diamond and Jesse, they'll be kicking ass if needed and taking the names of the cute girls.

diamond · 03-02-2005, 03:12 PM

indeed.

you guys are funny.

Has anyone contacted the Glendale arena and told them about our wonderful group?

Has anyone asked them when we are allowed to line up and where? Will they let us use the restrooms? I think these questions are better answered over the phone, so can one of you Phoenix dudes call them?

I gave a couple calls back a week or two ago, and pretty much got the run around. Just kept getting handed off to other people, no real answers. I'm going to give it another try a little closer to the concert dates, hopefully someone will have some idea of what I'm talking about by that time.
