Subject: Re:  GNR: Seeing Them in Oakland


  (NOTE: I have been having no luck mailing to the gnr alias so far; I'm
hoping this will make it!)

  Oakland Sept 24th; I believe Sept. 26th is LA.

 >(1) I'll probably be staying in downtown SF. How far away is the stadium?

  You can take BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit) right to the front door of
the Oakland Coliseum- the stop is the Coliseum to make it easy for you :-)
Budget about an hour ride on BART; I think it is actually about 45 minutes.

 >(2) How much will a cab ride cost me there and back?

  You might need a cab ride home; I think BART closes at 12:30am or so.  Not
good for concert goers.

 >(3) Will I even be able to get tickets?
 >
 >(4) If I don't have tickets, is it worth it to take a cab to the stadium, 
 >hang out and try to buy some from scalpers?

  The show is sold out, but you might want to call BASS tickets
(415) 676-2222 or (415) 762-BASS to see if people have returned their
tickets.  If not, you have a very good chance getting a scalped one for 
maybe under $40.  The Coliseum seats like 80K people, so tickets I'm sure
can be had.  The tickets are something like $32 at cost when you include
everything.

 >(5) Where is it happening? Is the venue the same for both nights?

  One night.  The Coliseum, outdoors (where Canseco used to play :-)
I believe that it is general admission- no reserved seats.

 >Hope someone from the Left Coast can answer these questions for me. I'd love

 >for any band.

 Hope you can make it!  Let me know if you make it out; we can meet up 
somewhere before the show maybe.
