As someone who will show up to GA later in the day, can I suggest you all bring extra deodorant since it'll be the middle of July in Jersey.

I brought a travel sized deodorant to each show last year, and will again this year. So we're good.

TIA!

Hey guys. I need your opinion.

Last month, I gave up on hope that there'd be a ticket drop for this show. So I took it upon myself to buy a GA from eBay for $150.

That's $80 more than face value.

Do you guys think I made a big mistake by going through the secondary market?

You will love every minute of it. When all is said and done you'll see it was worth it.

the only reason to show up early is if you want to be dead center in the middle of the claw... there are PLENTY of side stage rail spots and side stage ramp rail spots available if you show up at 5pm or even later.

i showed up at quarter to 6, got on the end of the line, and walked right into the middle of the claw and had a great spot right on the inside of the outter ramp. plenty of people walked in after me and got great spots, too.

getting inside is not difficult on 360.

^ I agree.

THIS! A hot day in September was bad enough, I do not even want to imagine July! During Jersey 1, the person in front of me got nauseous from all the humidity. Thank God none of us got sick, but I just got disgusted with all the aroma wafting around. Night 2 was such a difference. Cool breeze, less humidity, AND I got a seat!

Thank God I also got a seat for this show...

The GA queue for night 2 was so much worse with the heat than for night 1.

Oh hell, skip the deodorant. Bring Pepto and airsick bags.

 

[lauramullen]

It was nasty that night. I couldn't breathe that good because of the humidty.

 

[pepokiss]

[Headache in a Suitcase]

Get out my thread!

Hi - quickie question. I've never been to the area before. It it walkable to the stadium from area hotels? Most of the hotels I've looked at say that they are less than 2 miles away. Thanks.

 

[kassandra]

Not really, its surrounded by highways.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

You can walk to the stadium easily without walking on the road from both the Fairfield Inn and Residence Inn. I did it last fall. Plan on it again in July

[sweetie]

What about the Hampton Inn on Patterson Plank road? I called the hotel and they told me that it was about a 10 minute walk to the stadium - I assumed it was walkable.
Thanks Shawn I'll check out the Fairfield and Residence Inn as well.

 

[Shawn Bonneau]

You may have to cross the road on that one. The other two you don't have to cross the road. You walk thru a gas station parking lot, then a sidewalk over the bridge, then along the grass into the Meadowlands Sporting Complex. There is a beaten path there where others have walked before. Stadium doesn't mind you doing it either, as you walking opens other a parking space for someone else to use. It's a bit of a walk once you enter the Sports complex, but pretty through there. Manhattan skyline and the new stadium. About 15-20 minute walk all in all

I stayed there on the last leg and me and Romi tried to walk from the stadium to the hotel during the day and I thought we were going to get killed.

Because you were walking on the highway?

I hate not being familiar with places! I think the Fairfield gets my vote

 

[lauramullen]

Yeah, the road was rather curvy and there was no sidewalk.

 

[sweetie]

Good to know!!! Thanks so much for your advice Shawn and Laura.

So if I factor in the heat and humidity, it's probably a 30 minute walk from Fairfield to the stadium. I'll have to check it out the Sunday before and decide if it's walkable or if I'm really lazy enough to drive the short distance.

Forgot all about NJ humidity. Almost as lovely as Boston humidity.
