Yes! Excellent recommendation for a great blues venue. There are a large assortment of jazz bars and the like around the City. But for great blues, you've got to hit this place. Here is there website:

How much was your flight? Would be doing the same thing. (If I can go.. Still debating with parents)
I see what you mean, I was thinking your were buying from stub-hub something along those lines.
We are getting our tix as a christmas present but I know they bought us the $115 tix and the total for each ran about $125 so I assume those are just taxes and their wasn't a "ticketmaster fee."
I called the ISU ticket office and they told me there was no way to avoid the $30 fee, even if I came into the office and ordered them in person.
I've got my tickets and my travel is booked! We're flying from Minneapolis and staying with friends in Manhattan. Now comes the waiting game... and hoping for good weather.

If you guys really want to get some good rates on hotels in the NYC/NJ area I suggest doing some research and reading the following two web sites then bidding on Priceline. I live in the NYC/NJ area and for events like B-day parties or Super Bowls (when I'm drinking and don't want to drive) I have won the Westin in Jersey City NJ for an average of $75 a night thru priceline but make sure you read the following two web sites and use their strategy, remember also look into NJ hotels along with Manhattan hotels and NYC area airport hotel (which include Jersey City, Hoboken, Weehawken, try to stay along the NJ waterfront or manhattan if you can afford it).

Hey, thanks for clearing that up. In fact, the NJ bus schedule flyer I saw says "NYC Transit subway trains A, C, E, N, R, S, 1, 2, 3,4 and 7 serve the PABT." I'm glad you stepped in to clear up the inaccuracy ... it's a lot better to know before I get there!
Do you have a suggestion about whether it would be better to use the NJ bus to the Port Authority and then walk to Grand Central, or is there a good way to get to Secaucus Junction station from my hotel (by the Meadowlands Convention Center and Mill Creek Mall)? Just wondering whether it's better to bus/walk/subway or find a way to get to the New Jersey train into Penn Station.
Thanks a bunch! It's great to get help from you folks in the NYC area!
We are staying at the Double Tree by Hilton in Fort Lee, would anyone know of the best way to get to the stadium for the game and Times Square for some sightseeing?
Yeah, many of those lines are one avenue away from Port Authority (Times Square stops) so I guess that is what they mean when they say "serve"...the 4 train can connect to Times Square by way of the S(huttle) train, which runs exclusively between Times Square and Grand Central. Those are transfer stops so while you'll likely swipe your Metrocard twice, it won't cost you an extra $2.25.
It really comes down to your own preference. I'd give your hotel a call and see if they offer a shuttle service to the Secaucus station since it is so close. The only reason I think train would be preferable is if the weather ends up not being that great...a little snow/ice could turn that short bus trip into something much longer. Of course, if we end up getting hit by something big, all bets are off...but let's hope it doesn't come to that.
You can also think of it in terms of what sites you'd like to spend at least a few minutes seeing on your way to/from the game (especially if this is a quick trip for you). If you take the train, you can see Madison Square Garden and get a peek at Macy's before catching the D uptown. If you take the bus into Port Authority, you can take the S over to Grand Central and walk around there for a bit before catching the 4 uptown. It's a beautiful structure worth checking out.
If you are going to have more time on your trip and end up going into Port Authority, save the extra steps and just walk to Times Square for the uptown D.
