For out-of-towners coming to Columbus, you may want to consider staying at a hotel in the arena district. The motels around campus are a little down and out, and the ones in arena are much more upscale. There is a lot more to do in that area as well. Lots of clubs and restaurants concentrated in the arena and the short north. The Hyatt regency is sold out for May 30, but there are still rooms at the Crowne Plaza and the Lofts.

There's a Comfort Suites with high ratings 2 miles from the stadium...booked top of the line room for $114. Sounds like a 20.00 roundtrip cab ride to me.

A very nice hint in this message from BV. - the one about LA

That's the second hint actually after the "special show in a town where the hot shots are" (paraphrasing). With the UC info (two "SF Specials" to record a DVD for the fall) it's all falling into place. Good luck getting tickets for that show, I suspect it will be an "Eagles Freezes Over type".

Any advice for someone who wants to hang out near rehearsal? A few slow days hearing the Stones muffled warming up and a chance at a club show sounds great to me.

Yes, they were from the tour 2013, see
[stonesnews.com] - scroll down to March 30th... there are these and others from then.

So this tweet with Wednesday is kinda confusing...

OPTIONS TO BUFFALO FROM EUROPE:

GO THRU TORONTO - much cheaper flights than going thru NYC, and 2 hours away from Buffalo. Easy drive or train, though a car makes more sense

You might have a hard time explaining US Customs agents why you traveled from Europe to Buffalo through Toronto. Won't that look shady to cops?
And crossing the US border coming from Canada is tricky even for Canadians.

Me I'd take the "easy" NYC route.

Reminds me of the time when I came back thru customs after a Toronto show at CNE. Boarder agent asks me what i'm doing in Canada and i tell him it was to see the Stones. He asks me if i got any pot on me and i tell him i smoked it all at the show. He says drive on thru with a scowl on his face.

Air Canada seems to quite a bit cheaper right now, though obviously YMMV. (Right now they have some of the best deals fo LA to Brazil). So it's a tradeoff on price vs. multiple border control hassles (both US and Canada).

Is bufallo far away from New York city? Im planning and hoping to catch a show in the New York areasmiling smiley

I think so and as i was reading above. No subway, no bus or any other public transportation. What are they thinking with???

By Car it's between 7-9 hours hours depending on stops how fast you are driving. Could take 12 hours if weather is bad. I think the buses take like 8-8 and half hours,Fare one way is around $60 to $80 dollars appx. Call Trailways or Greyhound and get times for busses going from Port Authority NYC, to Buffalo. Hope that helps,
VJ

OPTIONS TO BUFFALO FROM EUROPE:

GO THRU TORONTO - much cheaper flights than going thru NYC, and 2 hours away from Buffalo. Easy drive or train, though a car makes more sense

GO THRU NYC - fly into JFK and then take Jet Blue to Buffalo, a one hour flight and about what a train costs. Rent a car at the airport in Buffalo.

HOTELS IN BUFFALO ARE CHEAP COMPARED TO NYC: $108 (a night, which is already super inflated because of the show) gets a hotel within walking distance of the venue, which is out in the suburbs. 5 minutes away by car you can stay in a nice national chain hotel for $130-$150. Want to be in a party district, 20 minutes from the venue by car? Your can for $120 to $195 a night at the top end (which is a luxury restored 1800's mansion) and walking distance to loads of clubs and bars and restaurants.

Meals and drinks in and around Buffalo are a fraction of what you would pay in NYC, Boston or Toronto. Niagara Falls is 30 minutes from Downtown Buffalo, 50 minutes from the venue. There is very little traffic, and an easy city to drive around. I am sure there will be buses to the venue the day of the show, as there are for Buffalo Bills football games, if you don't feel comfortable driving on the right side of the road. They generally leave the bus terminal downtown for around $5.

Ralph Wilson Stadium is known for its tailgating atmosphere before football games. Locals (as well as 20,000 of so Canadians who drive down for games) get there very early, grill and drink and party for hours. In addition to parking on venue grounds, there are numerous satellite lots all around the facility. This is in the suburbs, not far from being rural. When it was built, inner cities were really fading in America. A lot of that has changed. A new stadium may be built in downtown Buffalo, but not till the Stones do a 62 and counting tour.

Yes Buffalo is a secondary market. Yes I am biased because I live here. But it is friendly, has many amenities of a big city (from shopping, great dining, music) and a very good time can be had for much less money than a bigger city.

Maybe savings that you can afford a second show on the tour!

Will be there, and hey, you should get the job with the IORR tailgate party. Could be fun!

With all the discussion about the long haul to Buffalo, it seems that flying into Chicago would be a preferable option, with several shows within a much shorter distance.

Please do not use this forum for campaigns and/or hate posting.

The Stones can not play every city in USA & Canada. Some cities they played 2-3 shows in 2013. By memory I think they played like five - 5 - shows in the LA area, including Echoplex, Staples, Anaheim, I think LA got a fair share.

Also, they will be in LA performing in May anyway, so no worries.
Thank you BV your the best

Not sure if this has been posted elsewhere, but Rocks Off and Shidoobee have this link listing speific tour dates, including warmups in LA. Also, first time I've seen Santa Clara on the list. This list looks pretty reasonable-although I don't buy the MetLife and Bumbershoot festival rumors.

[thefestivalforecaster.blogspot.com.au]

5/24 Petco Park, San Diego, CA

5/30 Ohio Stadium, Columbus, OH

6/3 TCF Bank Stadium, Minneapolis, MN

6/6 Cowboys Stadium, Arlington, TX

6/10 Vanderbilt Stadium, Nashville, TN

6/13 Orlando Citrus Bowl Stadium, Orlando, FL

6/16 or 17 Bobby Dodd Stadium, Atlanta, GA

6/20 Heinz Field, Pittsburgh, PA

6/23 Marcus Amphitheater, Milwaukee, WI

6/26 or 27 Arrowhead Stadium, Kansas City, MO

6/30 or 7/1 Levi's Stadium, Santa Clara, CA

7/4 Indianapolis Motor Speedway, Indianapolis, IN

7/8 Comerica Park, Detroit, MI

7/11 Ralph Wilson Stadium, Buffalo, NY

7/15? Le Festival d'été de Québec, Plains of Abraham, Québec City, QC or RBC Royal Bank Bluesfest, LeBreton Flats Park, Ottawa, ON

Expect a tour similar to the above to be announced on Thursday, March 19th. Additional special promotional events, festival appearances, and concerts filmed for television may be announced at later dates. We think these may include the following:

5/16 Saturday Night Live, New York, NY, among other television appearances

5/19-21 Club Nokia and/or Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, Los Angeles, CA (2 filmed shows)

6/18 Live Earth Festival, MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, New Jersey?

Mid-late July? - Forest Hills Stadium, New York, NY (3 shows)?

Labor Day Weekend - Bumbershoot Festival, Seattle, WA?

nah, they know the deal. We do it as well, i.e. fly out of toronto when going anywhere international. They know the options are flying out of NYC or Toronto. TO is 90 minutes away.

Air Canada got some great ones from Europe. Worth the stop, instead of some airports you dont want to connect 'tru in the US. And hey, maybe we will get some Canada dates "one day"

A train from MYC to Buffalo is longer than the flight from Europe to NYC. Toronto is a good option. I am flying out of Toronto to London next month for about 40% less than flying from Buffalo....and it is a direct flight. Very easy drive between the two cities.

The border crossing into the US is indeed filled with some questions...but every entry to the US is since 9/11. Prior to that, you could cross from the US to Canada and back and not even have a passport.

Happy to help with anyone who may be traveling in for the show.

I find the Milwaukee date highly unlikely, as Milwaukee's big music festival kicks off on June 24, and the Marcus Amphitheater is on the Summerfest grounds and is used for Summerfest. I live there, and have never seen any event scheduled at that venue this close to Summerfest. Not impossible, but unlikely, ymmv
