That's a great piece of advice. Went last year and not being familiar with the area paid the $15 or whatever it was.

Yes, avoid street parking. In my post above I said shopping centers. There are several near the County Center and I don't recall any of them having time limits. Street parking in White Plains can be dicey and they very much enforce the posted parking signs.

Or take the train and have a 10 minute walk to the venue. No parking worries!

Very true. There's a major transportation hub near the WCC. About a 10 minute walk.

Public parking lots up Main Street / Hamilton Avenue are within a 5-9 min walk and cost 1/hr. WP parking authority is RUTHLESS so make sure you have enough time on the meter...…

What's the action like on Friday? I work in WP but commute an hour north and thought Friday might be a good day to try and unload some of my collection.

The shopping center across the street i've parked in a few times and walked over, never had any problems.

I parked in the corner of CVS once. Don't recommend that unless you want to get booted and have to pay $75 to get the boot removed which is what happened to me

Screw the $15 to park in the parking lot in front of the convention center. Waste of money.

Depends on my budget.

The only ones that take CC are BGS or box sellers. If box sellers, they charge you tax for CC purchases.

Love to be a fly on the wall for some high-end Ron negotiations this weekend. Or more accurately, 2 guys staring at their phones shaking their heads at each other lol

Planning to go there tomorrow.

Didn't see too many baseball players in the autograph guest list that had my interest, but saw that RJ Barrett (Knicks) was signing, so going to get one from him, though I'm not a big basketball guy by any means.

Will also submit some RCR at Beckett.
I don't usually have the patience of looking through many singles at shows like this, but planning to do that more this time around.
