I Just Pulled Up Front Row Pit For Camden

[Kelly]

Cameras were fine at the last FM show. Tiff took that shot of the Landslide pinky hold there. Just hide it in your purse as I think they look in your bag when you come in.

The Ferry is an option. Just make sure it will be running when the show is over. I am not sure of the night schedule. It is Friday and there is a Riversharks game down there tomorrow night, so it should be running. The baseball field is on the Waterfront as well. The bridge should be ok but there will be traffic...it moves though as there is no stopping for tolls going into Jersey.

^Good to know, thanks. According to the website, the ferry starts running 2 hours before concerts & stops 1/2 hour after the show is over. I've printed out directions directly to the venue as well as to the ferry, so we should be OK. I hope.

Congrats you guys!! Have fun and behave.

I think you're better off just driving across the Ben Franklin. For one thing, the parking at Penns Landing is pricey and far away from the ferry dock. Then there is also usually a long line on concert nights. Don't get me wrong- it's a lovely way to get there, but probably not the quickest.

Not to worry you, but you're probably going to be fighting the beach traffic; the AC expressway is right off of the Ben Franklin. So hit the road as early as you can!

Oh, I'm already worried. You're not the first one to warn me about the massive influx of people from PA into NJ for the weekend. Here's hoping!

She can turn off as soon as she gets over the bridge, to get to the venue, so that traffic along 676, down to the AC Expressway shouldn't be a problem for her. The Walt Whitman is a bitch on Friday Nights. One of the lawyers at my firm has a shore house, he always uses the Walt to get to the Expressway. I think alot of people prefer that bridge. The BF might be congested but I come home about three nights a week at 5:30, via the Ben, and I don't usually have anything more than rush hour congestion. Actually going into Philly in the morning is usually much worse. I wouldn't recommend the ferry either...parking is a pain and expensive in Philly, I don't trust the Ferry schedule and with the RiverSharks game, the ferry might take much longer than just driving over.

She could also take the speedline over and I would do that before the Ferry but since she is unfamiliar with the area, I would car it.

I'm so nervous about getting there. I plan on taking the Walt Whitman. The directions from the Tweeter website say there is 3 different exits I can take to get there..I dont want to get lost in Camden

i promise -- you will not get lost in camden. there are a boatload of signs pointing you in the right direction -- and there is usually one that says what exit to use the night of the concert [it will be one of those moveable signs on the side of the road]. it's very direct

thanks for the confidence I was about to take a cab..until I found out it would be $50 each way

Way to go girl!!! Have fun!!!! Hope I have such luck next week, when I try for tickets! Are you sure its only a 2 hour drive? I'm thinkin, more like 6 hours Either way, good luck! Can't wait to hear all about it

[skcin]

^ It's 8 hours from my house, but 2 from the friends' house we're staying at. Stupid Canadian.

[GarboSpeaks!]

Front row, Front row...yea. Good things happening to good Ledgies!!!! Reading this thread is making me all nervous for you Paula. I don't even live there, but I'd say drive since then you have some control, and just take your time. Stay relaxed, everything will pan out. Great advice from a woman who couldn't do any of that herself if life depended on it!!! Take some pics!!! And hey....why dontcha come to Ca. again soon???? xo

[WildHeart69]

See you all there
