AIRPORT:
If you are flying to Philadelphia for King of Trios 2010, the airport closest
to the Arena is Philadelphia International Airport, which services all major North American and European airlines.
HOTEL:
For those coming to the area for King of Trios 2010 weekend in need
of a place to stay, we recommend the Philadelphia
Airport Marriott.
The hotel is connected directly to the Philadelphia International Airport, and is located just over 10 miles from The
(ECW) Arena/former New Alhambra, which makes for a short cab ride to and from
King of Trios 2010.
You can call 1-800-682-4087 to make reservations and book your room. You may be able to find discounted room rates through
online websites, but Marriott locations near airports rarely show much deviation from the established prices.
The 2nd floor of the hotel connects directly to Terminal B of the airport, so you do not need transportation to get there.
TRANSPORTATION:
If you stay at the Philadelphia Airport Marriott, you will be able to arrange a rental car, or have their front desk call you a taxi cab
(the call is free of charge, the cab is not.) If you are staying elsewhere, call any one of the companies
on this list to get a lift to the Arena. Remember, the
Arena is at the corner of Swanson and Ritner in South Philly.
There is also a fan-organized bus trip from NYC to
King of Trios 2010 in place as well (click the link for more info).
PARKING:
The Arena has a fenced-in parking lot behind the facility. You can park there free of charge, but you will not be able to enter
through the rear of the building.
There is also parking around front where the main entrance and the blowing garbage is typically found. As Philadelphia is rather
liberal about where people can park, don't hesitate to get creative, but we're not paying if you get a ticket. Besides, the lot around
back can hold almost 200 cars, so you're better off back there.
ADMISSION:
We tend to open the doors to the general public about 30 minutes prior to belltime. For events like this, you can expect to see a line
forming even before that, even in the worst weather. Those holding an official CHIKARMY membership card will be allowed in
15 minutes prior to the "official" opening of the doors. It will be possible to buy tickets at the door the day of the event(s), at no
extra charge.
FOOD:
The Arena has a concession stand open during the shows with basic food and drink items. Several fast food restaurants are
located about 3 blocks away from the Arena on Oregon Avenue, including a diner and some taverns.
