[Witchy Woman]

Where are you seated WW?

I'm in section 209. I can't afford the fancy seats. Lol.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Awesome, WW!

I'm still debating whether or not to go to this show or not. I've definitely decided on Austin and Charlottesville, but still thinking about Lexington, Baltimore, and AC, all of which are within driving distance for me. :hmm: We'll see!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Don and Chideo are doing another meet and greet with VIP tickets for this show!!!!

[Glennsallnighter]

I saw this on FB, but sadly I do not think I can enter as I'm not in the US. I'd fly there though at my own expense if I won it!

[Roey]

I am going to AC show. 1st time I ever bought VIP tickets. Looking forward to the concert and meeting like minded fans!

[jms18222]

I'm going too!

[Roey]

Great! Hope our paths cross.. will have more details as we near the date!

[sodascouts]

Have fun, guys!

[Brooke]

Awesome!

I'm going to this show but haven't been to Atlantic City in quite a few years. I've been told by a couple people that had worked there that it's really gone downhill and is very dangerous at night now. Just wondering where people that are going or have gone before suggest staying. The closest is Caesars but that's $500 on Friday night so that's out. If I stay somewhere further away, I'll need to get a cab or jitney after the show and was wondering how hard that would be. Don't want to end up standing out there waiting a long time for a cab alone. Appreciate any suggestions anyone might have.

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Sorry, the only times I've been to AC was to see the Eagles and then Don at the Revel, and we stayed there. We didn't go out at night or take a cab anywhere. Hopefully, someone else around here has some ideas.

[SilverAcidRayne]

im so sad. i will literally be a half hour from them. and ill be recovering from surgery. :-(

but everyone have loads of fun and im excited for you all :partytime::partytime:

YES. you are absolutely right. AC has gone downhill it definitely isnt the hot spot like it used to be. if i had my own house i would have been more than happy to house fellow fans. everything is either closing and with that result the places that are open is jacking up room prices. my sister actually stayed there last weekend and there was a legit homicide in the room next to her. i dont even go at night anymore. it has gotten ridiculous. i just hope the men will be safe there :worried:

Where was she staying?

[SilverAcidRayne]

it was a hotel in the small town next to AC. 5 minutes away. she was there with her date and everything went down after midnight... scared me for sure

[Witchy Woman]

Try Kayak. They seem to have decent prices for hotels.

Thanks for the info but at this point I'm more worried about the safety aspect than the price.

[SilverAcidRayne]

if the shows are fairly early and they get out early enough you should be ok... a big act like the eagles there is a crapload of security and cops anyway lol i just wish i could be there too

[Witchy Woman]

Thanks for the info but at this point I'm more worried about the safety aspect than the price.

I wouldn't worry about it. You're not venturing into the more urban areas of the city. You'll be on the boardwalk. People like to be overly dramatic about safety in certain areas. If you stay at a casino you can park in their garage and walk right in. Don't let naysayers ruin your good time.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Glad you're going to this one, Karen. I thought about it, but then decided against it. I think you should be fine as long as you stay in heavily-populated and well-lit areas along the strip. As WW said, I would think they are pretty well secured, especially after a big event. Hope you have a great time!

[Roey]

Atlantic City hasn't had the best of years with 3 casinos recently closing. The Eagles previous concert was at the brand new Revel Casino which is now closed (the new owner plans to turn AC into a destination as a health resort, hope it happens). The July concert is at the Old Boardwalk Hall. Lack of air conditioning may be more of a concern.It is summertime and I expect there will be alot of people and activities happening.

I do not spend alot of time in AC but have stayed at the Borgata which was very very nice and had great restaurants. The Borgata is on the bayside. We found it easier to check in and leave the car at the Borgata, take a cab to a concert at Boardwalk Hall (it was Jimmy Bufett and we went partly because TBS was appearing with the band). After the concert we went to Ceasar's to hail a cab back to the Borgata. It is even better if you have friends that are gamblers and get discounted rooms!

Harrah's and Golden Nugget are also on the bayside and away from the crowds. Although Harrah's pool becomes a club at night with celebrity hosts like Paris Hilton that can draw a noisy very young crowd. I know alot of big names appear at Cesars and it always seems busy. I heard Tropicana recently renovated their rooms. There is also a Sheraton near the convention center.

The surroundings will not even cross your mind once the magic of the music starts ! This is the 1st concert where I purchased VIP tickets. I would have preferred MSG but it is still the Eagles. Right now our plans are to drive 20 miles north after the concert to our family's summer home on LBI (we just finished the rebuild after Hurricane Sandy). If we decide to stay in AC after the concert I will glady share the details and help you out.

I hope this info helps. See you at the concert!!

Atlantic City isn't the greatest place but the boardwalk is fine. There are police all over. Been there numerous times but never for a concert.

We are planning to make a weekend of it but since it is the weekend in July all of the major casinos are over $300 a night so I think we are staying in Egg Harbour or Galloway & just driving in and parking in a casino parking garage. There aren't discounted rooms on the boardwalk in July on a weekend.

It is a shame about the Revel. We were down there a few weeks after it opened up.

edited to add: my son was there 2-3 weeks ago. He walked around by himself all day. He actually took a picture of a poster of the guys. They were actually giving tours of the hall that day. I told him to go take the tour & take pictures but he decided to go get his hair cut instead. Awww youth!

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Its the middle of july busy time for ac with the beaches

Park in a casino lot you'll be fine

We always stayed at golden nugget

Nice and quiet by the bay

[Tiffanny Twisted]

Ok folks sorry I'm late here
John debella a dj on wmgk does a radio thon for vets every year

This year he had joe walsh on and one of the things being bid on were 2 first row tickets
To the boardwalk hall show and they went for just over 900.00

So I think thas a great that jie and the eagkes supported the vets

[SallyGee]

I will be at this show! My husband surprised me with tickets for my birthday! So excited!

[VAisForEagleLovers]

Yay!! I'm so happy for you, Sally!!!

[Brooke]

That's awesome, SG! Be sure to report back to us!

[jms18222]

Just have to get through Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday.... My doctor wanted to schedule a procedure for this week but since it isn't an emergency situation I talked him into postponing until August. I am sorry but I am going to see the Eagles & would prefer to do so without an IV in me. Okay so I won't be able to have a few adult beverages that weekend but such is life.

Where are everybody sitting?

[jms18222]

Found out why rooms were so expensive. It appears this weekend is Sand Blast Weekend, the largest Mid Atlantic gay beach party. Hey I'm cool with that but it explains why were couldn't get a free or discounted room on the boardwalk.

[SallyGee]

I'm in section 111. I'm just happy to be in the same building as them!

[jms18222]

I'm in Floor 2

[Roey]

My husband and I will be on the floor in section 2....bursting with excitement

[Witchy Woman]

I'm in the 200's. Forgot where. I don't care. Never been a seat snob.

[klmeps]

I'm in section 2 row 4.

[jms18222]

I believe row 19. Wish I was closer but these were way too expensive as it is but well it is (the) Eagles & this very well be it.

[Ive always been a dreamer]

Hope every one of you going has a great time! I don't think you'll be disappointed. :thumbsup:

[Houston Baby]

Have an AWESOME time everyone!! :partytime:

[sodascouts]

I was so hoping to win the tickets to this but alas, it was not to be. Best wishes to everyone going!

[Witchy Woman]

[MaryCalifornia]

Have fun you guys!!!!

[Roey]

Looks like a few of us will be at the concert. I hope our paths cross. We are in section FL 2, row 2. My husband looks like Billy Joel and I look like Christie Brinkley (ONLY KIDDING!). I will probably be in a white jean jacket. Wish there was a designated meet and greet spot for border friends at the concerts.

I figure the band probably spent last night and tonight in NY. Hoping to see them on the parkway as we head down the shore tomorrow morning.

Less than 24 hours to go!
