Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
anyone sitting in section 205?? this is gonna be my first TOOL concert and unfortunately i have to experience it alone so i was wondering if anyone from here was sitting near there so i could at least have someone to say hi to lol
sidenote: i jus did a TM search for a ticket like 10 mins ago jus to see the seating chart and i got a fucking lowel level ticket midway to the stage and of course i dont have the money to buy it...freaking amazing luck i have....
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
hey you're not alone. i remember my first show was by myself and my seat wasnt exactly what i wanted. sorry im not sitting near that section. that i remember there are 25 rows for lower and upper sections, but how about the floor(sections 1-3) does anybody know? ah man i always have a question. i'm so psyched.
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
I have two tickets in Section 210, row 11, seats 1 and 2 that i will sell for face value (70 ea). They are upper deck but better tickets than what you would get now.

Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
This will be my first show on this tour, but definitely not the last. This will be my 8th show overall (7 on Lateralus tour alone). My brother and I are flying up from Atlanta Friday morning and staying through the weekend so we can party in NYC.
Our seats:
Sec. 122, Row 2, Seats 4-5
I am thoroughly excited about this show, not to mention our first visit to NYC. I've heard that this venue is the shit. Our seats are elevated just off the floor by two rows, so we should have perfect seats, both acoustically and visually.
If anyone is planning on getting up before the show, let me know. I'm not familiar with the Meadowlands, but I imagine there is a bar of sorts around (inside the venue for sure). Also, if any of you locals can suggest good bars to go to in Greenwich Village (preferably Irish ones...with ladies), let me know. Hit me up with a PM people.
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
melvintillius- dude you will have a blast, bars to hit up, how about CB-GB's, now they are closing at end of oct. (starting to sound like a broken record with the ever changing closing date), cover charge on a normal night is 10 bucks, also up the block north on the corner of 2nd street there is Phebes, its a pretty good bar, has good food if you want to eat(very good Buffalo Wings), plasma tvs, etc.
Pick up a copy of The Village Voice(which is free) or Time Out New York for listings, or those free papers (Metro or AM New York, they have some good listings). Also, forget about hanging out in the Meadowlands, there is nothing there.
Cheers and have fun.
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
i might be able to buy a ticket for this show, i was going to trade with a camden ticket but now the guy i was going to trade with cant go to the camden show. its an hour and a half drive up the turnpike and i would be going alone. but the next day i have to see Porcupine Tree in philly and seeing Tool the night before would make for a kick ass weekend.

Yeah, CBGB's is definitely on the to-do list. I figure, I better go before it's gone. Thanks for the great tips. I am so thoroughly stoked about that weekend, that I can't even explain it. I love big cities so much, and NYC is the biggest of them all. There's an infinity to see, so we'll try and limit our sights as best we can. I really just want to see the New York that the locals see.

Porcupine Tree? No fucking shit! I saw them last September here in Atlanta, and I was absolutely blown away (to be completely cliche). I saw them live only about 2 weeks after I was introduced to them. I bought In Absentia at the show, and it is now one of my top 5 favorite albums. Thanks for the heads-up. I'm going right over to their website to see if they'll be nearby Atlanta.
Cheers,
Devin
UPDATE: Fuck!! Why do PT have to be playing the same night as Tool? If they were doing a late show at the Nokia Theater, I could rush over and see them. With a 9pm ticket time, it seems unlikely. The support act is ProjecKt Six. The Theater's website say 8pm and Ticketmaster says 9pm. This tealls me that Porcupine Tree will go on at 9pm. Is anyone familiar with this venue? Does my assumption seem accurate?

if your planning on taking the NJ Turnpike up id consider that offer. i live right off of exit 3 of the NJTP and i would be willing to split the cost of gas. an hour and a half of driving alone might be a little too much for me.
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
quickest and easiest way is from Port Authority(42nd Street), NJ transit 351 bus to Meadowlands. Round trip is $9, you can buy a ticket from one of the automatic machines or at the NJ Transit window from a teller, the busses will line up either at a gate or more likely in the tunnel between the North and South building. Coming back is easy too, they have the busses line up right in the area where you got dropped off(near gate C I believe).
edit- the trip usually takes about 20-30 minutes.

Yeah, I'd probably agree. Thing is, I have seats similar to these for the Hartford show and the Nassau show. East Rutherford is supposed to be my "floor" show. I have 2 other floor seats that I can use; i'm just trying to move closer if possible.

Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
*Price Lowered*
2 tickets for the continental airlines area show oct 6. I am selling them at face value and taking a loss on the ticketmaster fees. The total will be $115 for both. They are section 208 row 12 seats 9-10.
If you want these please let me know soon. I placed them up for auction on stub hub and need to cancel if I can sell them myself.
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
Does anyone know an easy route to take a train from Philly to this event? Reading the NJ transit website is like reading another language (I am very unfamiliar w/ NJ)
Debating about picking up a ticket…

Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
I have three extra tickets for Friday at Continental. They are in Section 106, Row 17...$70/each (which is what I paid...not looking for anything more of course)...Will be in attendance or can meet up beforehand in the local area...e-mail me or text me... [email protected]
barr2k on AIM...
Never done this before...and if not allowed please let me know... I see other people on here...just a loyal fan with extra seats...good ones in fact
Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
from Philly you would take Amtrak to Penn Station on 34th Street (under MSG) then walk or take subway up to 42nd street (Port Authority) and take the bus from there. Easier way = you could take Greyhound from Philly to Port Authority and get the Meadowlands event bus (351) right there. Going back to Philly would be a bitch though, I dont know how late the busses/trains run.

George,
I know you've helped me out before. You sure seem to know your way around that madhouse. So, I got another one for ya.
Any ideas on the quickest way to get from Newark-Penn Station to the Meadowlands. I looked on NJ Transit's website, and it looks like the best route is roughly 1hr in transit (that is, if I configured the itinerary correctly). That would be about $5 each (for two of us). The other option is a cab for $35 ($40 w/tip, divided by two). SO, an extra $15 for what seems to be a much easier commute. The other factor, however, is traffic on a Friday evening. Will this make that cab ride much longer? Would we be better off taking NJ Transit? We are staying in the Hilton which is connected to Newark-Penn Station.

Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
I see that a few tickets are being released though ticketmaster that are very close to the stage. My question is, Would I be able to see and hear the band clearly in Section 112 row 11 or 118 row 6? I have seen these tickets on sale but have hesitated on buying them becasue I saw Tool in Camden last Thursday and would like to get a closer view but do not want to pay big bucks if there is "something" blocking my view. It doesn't say anything about limited view and they are just as expensive as floor seats. Can anybody answer my question based on their prior expeiences at Continental? Thank you

Re: 2006/10/06 - East Rutherford, NJ - Continental Airlines Arena
hey devin- how did you figure on getting from Newark to Meadowlands? is there a bus? Not too familiar since never been to Newark except for the airport. Dont worry too much about traffic usually its not that bad, unless there is an accident. Getting a taxi after the show might be a problem, keep that in mind...
