fdny4eva Posted December 25, 2012 Share Posted December 25, 2012 i thought after the concerts there would be a lot of cabs outside the area waiting to pick up people.. thats what happened to me last time! At Barclays or MSG? Because Barclays is in Brooklyn and there aren't many yellow cabs because they are airport or manhattan-centric. I went to a basketball game there and granted it was a sunday and I was taking the subway but I didn't notice any cabs. It is illegal for a nonyellow cab to take a street hail. I would ask the hotel concierge for a cab company before going and negotiate a rate ahead of time. There may be a taxi stand at Barlcays but I would come prepared just in case, mass transport near your hotel is a pain and sketch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

intervention Posted December 26, 2012 Share Posted December 26, 2012 You can always wait for the inevitable ticket drop on ticketmaster sometime this week if you want to pay face. They have lots of seats in that "platinum" tab that will surely go unsold and will be released into the general pool at face value. Good luck!! thanks and thanks vanstrider for the tips too! ive had SH and TM pages for the 30th bookmarked and keep checking them! im sure something will work out! i'm just always so anxious not knowing! :inquisitive: :laugh3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edr1971 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Ticket drop started tonight, have found many singles in section 25, floor 4 and section 7 In Addison parking is easy if you use the Barclays parking site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arg777 Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Im going to the concert on the 30th, first time im going to see coldplay and super excited! The things is ill prob get there a little late between 7-8. I know thats when the opening act goes on and i dont mind missing them, but I should be ok getting in a little later anyway right? Also for parking, I saw that "Parking is available two hours prior to the event time." Does that mean that if i get there at like 7:30 to park, they wont let me even if i buy parking prior to arriving? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I walked in at the end of the first opening act at Izod center in August without problem. Can't speak on the parking since I don't need to drive to the concert.

In the past using click and park your spot is guaranteed so you can arrive whenever you want starting two hours prior. It is to protect garage from somebody parking all day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedofnashville Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Has anyone found out what time the doors will open Sunday night? I know we had talked about it some before but wasn't sure if anyone knew. I called today and kept getting transferred to different automated messages, couldn't get any good info.

fdny4eva Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 All your transit advice has been so helpful!! So the Port Authority said PATH trains will be resuming 24-hour service by New Years Eve which I'm absolutely praying for. I'll probably take the R train from Barclays Center to Cortlandt St. near WTC and transfer to the PATH train to get back to Newport. Fingers crossed. Looks like limited 12/30 service still but things start up again on NYE. Also I wouldn't rely on the Cortland Steet idea because the PATH isn't going to WTC. http://www.panynj.gov/path/ PATH New Year's Eve Day Service 5 a.m. Monday, December 31, 2012 - 10 p.m. Monday, December 31, 2012 Hoboken to 33 Street Journal Square to 33 Street Newark-Penn Station to World Trade Center PATH New Year's Eve Overnight Service 10 p.m. Monday, December 31, 2012 Around-the-clock until 5 a.m. Tuesday, January 1, 2013 Hoboken to 33 Street Newark to 33 Street No service to or from Exchange Place or World Trade Center PATH New Year's Day Service 5 a.m. Tuesday, January 1, 2013 - 10 p.m. Tuesday, January 1, 2013 Hoboken to 33 Street Journal Square to 33 Street Newark-Penn Station to World Trade Center Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffc418 Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What time is everyone expecting Coldplay to take the stage? Are we expecting just like any other MX show? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavensbee Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What time is everyone expecting Coldplay to take the stage? Are we expecting just like any other MX show? Thanks! They'll come on at 9, but the question is how long/what time will the opener come on, since there's only one. I tweeted Barclays Center about doors and they didn't respond. So I'm still guessing they'll open at 6, but not 100% sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fdny4eva Posted December 29, 2012 Share Posted December 29, 2012 Welp, I'm screwed. You can still take the PATH to the concert and if you get out after 10pm take the train to a part of the City across from Journal SQ and hail a cab or take a bus from port authority.
