    We are thinking about catching a week of shows in the Spring - Hartford the first weekend sounds pretty good! We are hoping to be able to drive through the area, catching 4 or 5 shows within a week, either before or after that weekend.

    Does anybody from the Hartford area have a suggestion of a reasonable hotel/suites to stay for the weekend, then.

    I took the majority of a week of in 2005 for SPAC, Camden and Mansfield and really had a tremendous time. Things have changed for myself, along with the band's normal schedule route, to where that opportunity may never arise again. If you have the ability go for it, also hittin' new venues and areas is very fun for myself.

    I will say that if you don't mind driving there are plenty of hotels along I-91 that would be fair choices. Also, there is next to nothing to do in Hartford so planning your days elsewhere might be smart.

    i booked thru priceline last year and got 2 really great hotels up by bradley airport. hilton garden inn & doubletree (preferred the doubletree). you're probably looking at a 15 minute drive to the venue from there.

    The lot before the overpass near the gas station is a pretty safe bet, I haven't been in that lot since 2009, but it was free and comfortable. Since the city is cracking down on underage drinking at the meadows (based on a new referendum they released in August and how they handled other concerts at the venue post its release) maybe there will be less of that aspect that tends to annoy some people.

    Booking.com has a couple of places. I just got the Super8 thats a 5 min walk for 85$ for Sat night. We stayed at the dumpy Travel Inn which is next door getting a last min room last year so I guess this is an upgrade.

    I'll be in Toronto the week of Jun 3-7. Thinking of flying in for the Hartford shows. Where would be the best (cheapest) place to fly into and where is the venue? Will I need a car?

    Suggestions??

    Thanks!

    So I'm a long time fan, but havent been to a show in a LONG time. like over ten years. Anyway, I'd really like to go to a Hartford show this June, and was hoping some of you experts could offer some advice:

    1. I'm assuming its always best to see the second show, am I right?

    2. Any tips/tricks for getting my hands on two seats (a little too old/lame for the lawn these days). I'm guessing ticket master would be my best bet, right?

    Thanks in advance.

    1. It used to be like that but over recent years some Night 1's have been better. Their catalog is so huge now that it's a crap shoot. Where before you knew if you didn't get Watchtower, Two Step, etc first night then you would get it the 2nd. Not the case anymore.

    2. I can't do the lawn either - esp at Hartford. Honestly, Tix master is OK, but but in for the WH or troll the boards here week of and I've always picked up seats last minute. I know it's risky, but there are always tix avail.

    Hope this helps.
