i'll probably be partaking in this show!! woo hoo!

!!!!



don't forget we got at least 1 Muse show to do next year!

 

[Utoo]

awesomeness Stevo! I'll see ya there!

Great! I'll hit Baltimore, too, if they stop there.


Oh, and we'll be making our official move to Rockville on November 14th!

 

[BonoFly]

If they go to Baltimore, I'll be going there as well. Some of my family live down there and it's no more than an hour drive or so.

Really hoping they do at least two shows within my range because I'm dying to have a multi-show week!

You guys maybe coming to my home. Well, I live in South Jersey, 15 minutes from Philly.

 

[Maoilbheannacht]

I doubt they will go back to DC. The last time they played DC on both legs was 1992.

Actually they have never played DC on both legs unless you consider the 2nd North American leg date in Baltimore in 2001 as a return date for DC in the Spring of 2001.

In 1992, they only played two shows in Washington DC. August 15, and August 16, 1992 for ZOO TV.

 

[lauramullen]

I thought they played their on both legs in 92. Your right.

how can i forget that?!?!?!

 

[dizzy]

Hi there... Yes, I do remember! You (or your friend) are a teacher, yes?

Hehe, that wasn't me. I remember now....I think we got in the lottery together.

 

[SethVincent]

Seth, Philly is about 5 hours from Cleveland.

Thanks Laura

So about NINE hours total drive

 

[vjacqb]

I wonder how far of a drive this is from Dayton Ohio

Not that far for you!!
I think my friend said 8.

Amy let me know which Muse show you're going to! I hope we get a show in Philly!

 

[Notabene]

Did mapquest from the general Cleveland area and it said 7 hours 13 minutes / 430.90 miles not too bad. Most of the trip is on I-76 not my favorite inetersate to drive on Definatley a show worth taking into consideration. My best friend who lives in south jersey will be going as well and she said the drive isn't too bad.

Checked out some hotels in the local area... some are a little pricey the ones closer to the stadium and others that are farther away in the Cherry Hill area weren't too bad.

 

[lauramullen]

I live in South Jersey. Cherry Hill is really not that far and not a bad area.

Thanks for the info.
Seems like a nice place, only hope it doesn't become a hassle if we stay there to travel to and from the stadium...had that problem in Chicago and don't want to go through the cluster jam of traffic again on the way there and back in Philly.

 

[mads]

I'm trying to decide between this one and Chicago. I wonder which city is more likely to get a second show. I'm leaning toward Philadelphia.

 

[phillyfan26]

Considering they specifically stated that there wouldn't be a second show in Chicago, Philly's your best bet.

Cherry Hill is about twenty minutes from South Philly, and is a very nice area.

Rush hour traffic on the bridges into the city can be bad, but the sports complex is a bit separated from the rest of the city, which makes things easier.

I missed that. Thanks.

Not bad I wonder if it would be cheaper to fly

Probably not

 

[kassandra]

Hi guys, I'm going here too!

 

[lauramullen]

 

[BonoFly]

Double show date pleaseeeeeee

 

[lauramullen]

^ I hope so

 

[Maoilbheannacht]

So, any idea when the pre-sale will be in November?

 

[lauramullen]

It maybe with the last set of shows.

 

[DRay9911]

the hotel situation near the stadium is not very good

only one hotel, the holiday inn, and the rates have already been jacked up for the days around the show....$256.99/night ($216.99/night advance purchase). it's $158.99/night ($134.32/night advance) one month earlier

guess one of you locals will be adopting me for a few days, don't everyone volunteer at once

Glad to hear more good things about Cherry Hill. That may be the place to stay for the show.

That is what I have heard about the bridges and the few times I have been there and drove on them they were just crazy Will also have to remember to have toll money too.

 

[phillyfan26]

How likely is it that I can get tickets without doing the pre-sale?

 

[daygloeyes2]

Even if you can't get in on the general sale, you should be fine. There were a lot of people looking to get rid of tickets for "hot" shows like Chicago and Dublin the last two legs.
