The Aspen Hotel in Harlem?

This is not the best area of town. They are starting to re-develop this area of the city -- but it's not "there" yet. It's still kind of "risky" wandering around that area at night. I always recommend people stay south of 95th street - especially at night. It's also very very far from the Hammerstein - even by subway.

Hi madison:

Do you think this is an okay place to stay?

Wyndham Garden Hotel - La Guardia

100 - 15 Ditmars Blvd.

East Elmhurst, NY 11369

I checked a map and 95th seems to run N-S, so you can only be on the east or west of it I think. But I am on the opposite side of it to where Hammerstein is...so it sounds like the part you are warning about. Although it is right by the airport.

East Elmhurst? That's in QUEENS. You are much better off staying at 103rd St & Broadway - Queens is pretty far from the Hammerstein. Just as a point of reference regarding Harlem - on the west side of the city (ie Broadway), anything below Columbia University on 116th is generally very safe. The 1 subway runs up there, and close to Hammerstein, so transportation should be no problem - "very very far" means about a 30 minute ride on the subway at most. Queens will take you closer to an hour and a half or two by subway.

Hi everyone! After party for all the NYC shows will be at a bar called Stitch - PRIVATE between 7th & 8th Avenue. It's about 2 minutes away from the venue. There will be a reserved section for all the GNR fans, & they gave us a drink special of $5 whiskey drinks. This is a nice bar, but there's no cover & no dress code. Hope to see you all there! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to PM me.

Not sure why it won't let me add it above (kinda new to this board - sorry), but the bar is on 37th St.

They're hosting a pre-party at Mustang Harry's ( http://www.mustangharrys.com ) from 12-5:30 before every show. It's very close to Hammerstein, and I think the guy who's in charge managed to negotiate some drink specials, as well as having all GNR played at the bar. Should be fun!

Looking to buy 1 floor ticket for Wednesday 5/17 - if anyone still has one available, please PM me! Thanks!

I'm looking to buy one floor ticket for Wednesday the 17th. If anyone can help me out, please PM or email me - Barbie567@hotmail.com. I live in NYC, and would like to pay cash in person if at all possible. If you're selling from out of town & need a tour guide once you're here, I'd be happy to show you around town.

Thanks!

I have one mezz ticket for 5/12 that I would like to trade for a floor ticket for 5/12, if anyone is interested.

I hope the most have tickets.

Sanctuary have told us that tickets for the two New York gigs sold out in three minutes today during the two pre-sales windows.

Gigger retracted.

Still 25% of tickets for sale tomorrow

We will see.The source is sp1.

I spoke with someone at Ticketmaster around 11 who told me that the show was not sold out, but would not verify the amount of tickets released for the presale(s). I also tried for the 11am presale the second it opened, and was told there were no tickets. This is insane - I had no trouble getting tickets last time they toured!
