yeah, I thought the set-up was only partial sit-down as well, based on photos I saw from the donkey show. *shrugs*

[spectorkitty]

I have a completely non-show related question to people who live in the area. Oberon suggests parking passes for Charles Square Garage and the University Place Garage, and Harvard University. Is this necessary? Where is the best place? Is there a good hotel near the Oberon?

For some reason I thought it was partial sit down (as in there are tables on the balcony) and then standing room only on the first floor? Oberon confuses me.

This is the way it's set up for The Donkey Show.

They had both standing and seated tickets when i brought mine.
Seated more expensive.

Yeah, same here. This is why I am confused....

yeah it appeared that there was standing room closest to the stage and cabaret style seating behind that . . . that's why I bought standing room, it was cheaper and looked closer to the stage according to the seating chart if I remember correctly.

I called to ask back when I bought tickets to see which tickets were closer to the stage. I wanted to know because we bought VIP tickets for Port City Music when she played in Maine and never ended up using them because I thought they were in a crappy section of the club and not close to the stage.
When I called Oberon (or maybe it was just the agency that sells tickets for them) they said the more
expensive tickets ( not sure if that means they are seated or standing ) were closer to the stage. Mondays more expensive seats were already sold out, so we have tickets for one of the nights one way and one the other. So I guess we'll get to experience both. Seems like that place is so small that everyone will have a great spot.

club oberon is a fairly small venue.  roughly square.
about 80-100' to a side (but i haven't paced it or
taken a tape measure to it)

clean sight lines.  the stage is high enough,
even if a tall pesron is in  front of you.
no  columns in the way.
bar at the back.

no bad seats, unless you absolutely
have to see the twin's pores ; - }

My wife and I will be driving up from Buffalo for both shows.  Can anyone provide advice on where we might want to stay in the area?  What about parking near the venue?

[krisjay]

If anyone is going from Maine and has an extra seat I can travel in with you, by all means let me know. I shared a ride to the show with Nervous Cabaret and it went great. If you are going to either show and leaving from Maine let me know, I could use a ride. Thanks. Email is, simmonsron25@yahoo.com.

Whoop Whoop!  Looking forward to the show on 13th!

Can we really bring food? Would they let me in with a big box of pumpkin cookies and toffee candy?

I have brought food to a DD show and to an AFP show and neither time did
the guy working the door seem to care in the slightest.....

past threads on boston shows, have lodging pointers

the club  oberon web sight, as well as amrep.org
has parking suggestions.
though if your lodging is near the subway, or a bus
that goes to harvard square - use public transit,
cheaper and less stressful
