You guys should really check out The Glimmer Twins at Xfinity Center.
They are fantastic musicians and all around good people.
Some great people are signed up for that Shidoobee preparty in the parking lot too.
I wouldn't miss it!

Oh yeah thanks for reminding me, this is where I plan on going on Tuesday. Friday is open for suggestions.

I do have two tickets for sale for Philly #1. If anyone is interested, PM me for details.

My main focus is getting inside the venue and trying to meet fellow Rocks Off members. I'm so anxious about leaving the house and getting there on time, getting my tickets, everything. Standing around a blacktopped parking lot in June isn't my cup of tea - I've done it for sporting events there and it's too fucking hot even at night. I know the Glimmer Twins are awesome, but I'm seeing the real thing next door so I'll be skipping them too.

I cannot wait to see THE ROLLING STONES.

Do we plan on meeting someplace special or just mix in at the tailgate party with Shidoobee? I think we should designate a spot for RO.

We have to have a standard RO summit aka meet and greet 2-3 hours before the gig and after as well. I'm not familiar with the area. A close pub or the bar at the Holiday Inn across the street for convenience.

I'm talking about friday as I know the Glimmer Twins are the pre party for tuesday.

Xfinity Live is the huge bar/restaurant/entertainment area, where the Glimmers are playing. It's in the same parking lot as the Wells Fargo Center - it's on the corner. There are tons of places inside the Wells Fargo Center as well.

I haven't received any private messages about these shows. If you think you may have questions, get them to me soon. I have a feeling I'll be super busy once the Stones arrive in my city.

Please note that the city's public transportation (SEPTA) can be very confusing for those riding it for the first time...even with the fact one line runs north and south (the Broad Street line) and the other east and west (the El). There can be delays, so plan accordingly.

If you plan on parking near the stadiums, it usually runs about 15-20 bucks. There are heavy delays leaving the area, up to 30 minutes for Phillies games due to congested parking lots. The Washington Nationals and the New York Mets are in town next week which usually brings more fans to the area. What I do is park near City Hall and then take the Broad Street Line to the stadiums. It's very very easy.

After the show you'll take the Broad Street Line (AKA the orange line) to City Hall for the free interchange to the El (AKA Market Frankford Line.) You have to find the staircase up that reads Westbound t0 69th Street. You'll take that staircase and follow signs for the El. You'll take the El WEST towards 69th street. Once you get to the 30th street stop, get off there. You'll have to go up to the sidewalk, and then walk over to 30th street station.

I suggest that you get to Philly early so you can take a good look at the transit system and remember it for later in the evening. It will take over 30 minutes, maybe longer, to get to 30th Street Station.

The big thing to remember is that trains do NOT LEAVE THE STADIUM AREA until FULL. I've left games early just to sit on the train for upwards of 15 to 20 minutes before it starts up. Meaning it wasn't worth my time to leave the event early.

My train is just after midnight. It looks like I'm going to be cutting it close. Does anyone know if there is a taxi stand by the arena and if this might be a faster alternative? Thanks again.

Anytime!

There's no taxi stand but there should be plenty of taxis.

I suggest you find a taxi and tell the driver in clear language to get your ass to 30th street station. Ask him "Can you get me to 30th Street Station super fucking fast?"

The dude that says yes, take that cab and close your eyes.

Do check the El schedule on the Septa website I posted above. 30th street is ONE stop beyond 15th street (which is AKA City Hall)

You might make it if the concert ends at 11PM.

If you have more questions I have answers. That goes for everyone coming to my city. Ask me here or in Private Message.
