its good to be anywhere
I need advice from a local Columbus Stones fan who knows the venue/local area. I scored a great ticket on TM and will be going solo and will not have a car.
Are there any public transportation options available to and from the venue on the night of the Stones concert? Or are taxi's my only option? Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
PS have not booked a hotel yet (looking for something cheap in a safe area) but may try to get one near public transportation if that is an available option.

I see that you can use the ticketmaster map to pick your seat location now when buying a ticket. Interesting to see what is still available

Thanks Josepi for you extremely helpful information and advice. I will look into taking the number #2 COTA and booking a hotel in the arena district or brewery district. Are you going to the Stones concert? If so I hope you have a fantastic time! It should be a great show. Thanks again for all of your help!

Would anybody be interested? ....
I sent out this feeler to a couple of charter bus companies and got this response. How many of you would be interested? Anybody? Is this too much money? Did I estimate the times correctly? Also posted on Shidoobee.
Feeler:
1) Sometime in the early or mid-afternoon on May 30, pick up between 30-50 fans at various motels scattered throughout the Columbus area, mostly (maybe entirely) around OSU campus and downtown.
2) drop off as a group at the venue we will chose at a later date to have a party get-together. Probably at a bar/restaurant.
3) pick up the group from the party venue and drop off at Ohio Stadium around 7:00 pm.
4) pick up the group at the stadium after the concert (around 11:00-11:30 pm) and drop off at the various motels.
Response from Lakeshore charter:

Package rate includes: Round trip deluxe DVD/WIFI motorcoach transportation

Sign me up. This sounds like the best option by far. I would prefer to get to the stadium a little bit earlier but 7:00 pm works. I can swing $41 but obviously $33 is better; either sounds great. When you have a chance please let me know how I can arrange payment to hold my spot.

Thanks, I'll put you on the list. The time frame was just an estimate. What time do you think we should get to the stadium? If I can round up 34 people in a couple of weeks it will be a go. Will figure out how to arrange payment once 34 is hit.

My Columbus ticket has not arrived in the mail yet. I've got e-mails several days ago from TM saying all of my tickets have been printed Columbus, Milwaukee and Raleigh but none have arrived yet...
