Brooklyn, NY, Barclays Center, June 8th - ARCHIVE
-
Where's everyone staying? I was suppose to be staying with a friend in Brooklyn and found out yesterday thats not happening. Have to find a room last minute. Anyone staying in Manhattan and taking public transportation over that knows where there going that I can tag along with when you head over to the show? (I'm doing both soundchecks Saturday and Monday so I have to be there early) Thanks

Show has been ending around 11:15 or so. Subway is right across the street according to Barclays center info.

Not even - the main subway entrance is directly in front of the arena: it's unmissable. 2, 3, 4, Q, R, N are all catchable there (fwiw, the 5 and B do not run out to that stop on Saturdays). If you're taking the LIRR, I'm pretty sure you will need to cross Atlantic and enter the mall entrance on Flatbush (otherwise you'll end up paying a subway fare you won't need!).

Nice, new $76 Million subway stop located on the Barclays plot of land. 2,3,4,Q,R,N will take you to and from. Will be taking Metro North from Pleasantville to Grand Central (45 minutes) then the 4 to Barclays (20 minutes) What a quick ride!!

If you're taking the 2, 3, 4, or 5, stay toward the very front of the train. The stairs that lead to exit is right there. It will lead you to the very front of the Barclay's Center. For the B or Q trains, stay in the 2nd or 3rd car and there are stairs there that lead you to the same exit. For the people taking the D, N, or R, stay toward the rear of the train. This will lead you to stairs where you can walk via the tunnels to the 2/3 platform and make a right for the same exit.

Great advice from David there re being at the front of those trains - definitely keep that in mind, folks! Once again, B and 5 trains DO NOT run on the weekends to the Atlantic-Barclays Center stop so don't bother trying to wait for them! 2, 3, 4, N, R, Q and D only and position yourself where advised in DavidW531's post.

Hopefully the people at the hospital have practiced many hyperventilation treatment drills this year... They will soon have a patient (yours truly)

I'm so excited ,I can't even handle it. I'm coloring my "Sign my tattoo sign" tonight! I've just looked at all the setlists from other shows, and I love that Paul is breaking out some of the more obscure songs that he hasn't really performed. Loveley Rita, Another Day, EIght Days a Week. etc should all be really interesting/fun to hear live.

Two days until... Minus those damned suspenders!
