I know NY is expensive but I'm not really familiar with the prices there.

I've only been to NYC once so I don't have the most experience, but here goes. Airport shuttles are like $20 or $30 each way (not roundtrip). I don't remember how much food costs, depends on where you go I guess. Hotels in Manhattan close to Times Square are all pretty expensive I believe, like $300 a night. But if you're far from the concert venue you'll have to be paying for taxis all the time. If the venue is near Times Square it might be worth the high price to be close (personally I HATE having to rely on taxis a lot) and it's always nice to be close to your hotel to be able to get and drop off stuff when you need to~ Especially if you'll only be there for a couple days around the concert (like 3 days and not a week or something), or if you can share hotel with friends and split costs, I would TRY to either get a hotel close to the venue, or centrally located so it's easy to get to places to sightsee ^^ And if you go TOO cheap on the hotel it might be creepy x'D

Personally I would PREFER a hotel more centrally located but I'll probably end up going the cheaper route myself, somewhere further away :p

I hope you can make it!
btw I love the rainbows on the forum layout xD!! L'power~
