Anybody have any idea how much a 17-mile cab ride would cost?

Around $50.

is the upstairs gonna be g.a. then?

i have no idea. i hope so. otherwise, looks like the floor is staggered level wise so that even if my 5'8" shortness is in the back, i'll be allright.
but i've only been upstairs in there so i don't even know if that's how it actually is.

So this is kind of random. My roommate and I are flying in from Seattle. Neither of us have ever been to Los Angeles. We are staying at the Biltmore which is 17 miles from LAX. Anybody have any idea how much a 17-mile cab ride would cost? (Better yet, any cool NIN fans wanna come pick us up? )Also, the venue is only 3 miles from the hotel. Anyone want to meet up before the show half-way? Get some drinks, share stories, or just get in line? Sorry if someone already started this topic.

If you are staying at the Biltmore, which is a very cool historic hotel BTW (where they filmed TONS of stuff---scenes from Pretty In Pink, and most recently Entourage (the Gatsby Party) etc) Oh...and my Prom was there. The only cool thing about Prom. hee hee...sorry...distracted easily. Shiny things... :-)

For the shows, You can get around via public transportation. I can't recall if there is a subway station nearby, but the DASH will also take you to Union Station where you can hook up with the subway and take that to the Wiltern and Near the Fonda/Palladium if you are going to those shows as well. The only thing I am not sure about is how late the subway runs...but for getting there, you can save yourself some $$$...


RE: the Airport---I would look into a shuttle service, like Prime Time. Or...for about how much you would be spending on a cab, you could probably hire a Towncar service---which would make your trip way more enjoyable from the airport. Before you book anything, I would check with the hotel and see if they have a shuttle service (many hotels do) or any suggestions. Ask for the Front Desk manager or concierge.

Lots of cool stuff to see downtown if you are here for a few days! Especially if you are into art/historic architecture! You are close to Museums, Koreatown, Japantown, the Fashion/Garmet District. Dodger Stadium, Chinatown...Union Station...a 100 year old lunch place called Phillippe's...The Rayburn Building...sorry...love playing tourguide. :-)

Anyway---hope that helps! Find me at the show and Thank Me! :-)

Just for some counterpoint and no offense, but I think downtown LA is one of THE WORST places in AMERICA! It's drug addled with absolutely no scenic or redeeming value whatsoever. Stay out of there and go to the beach. Santa Monica, Venice, hell even Hollywood is less of a dump than Downtown. Koreatown? Japantown? If you are here for only a few days there are the absolute last places you want to be.

Yeah screw the haters! Crack addicts and car jackers rule! To each their own I guess. Sorry for trying to give you some legitimate perspective.

Hey Jetsetter, Screw the Haters! Thank you so much for the advice. My roommate and I are big boys and need not worry about typical downtown problems. Hell we might even walk the three miles to the venue, if the street has access for it. But yeah, thanks for the advice.

I'm an unlucky one that didn't get a pre-sale ticket. On Friday the listing showed an "on sale" date of July 31th, and now it shows na. What does this mean? Please pm
