Tickets will be assigned based off of group size, and "more desirable" tickets will be assigned on a first come, first served basis; But as always at The Kirby Center : There isn't a bad seat in the house!

 Leave the Driving (and Parking!) to Us

Avoid the downtown parking crunch and ride in comfort with GCU! We are using the wonderful MARTZ bus company again for a stress-free no parking worry night! 

We’re offering round-trip bus transportation from three convenient pickup points:

• Scranton, PA – Planet Fitness Parking Lot 

• Wilkes-Barre, PA – Wyoming Valley Mall

• Wilkes-Barre, PA – Holiday Inn East Mountain 600 Wildflower Dr, Wilkes-Barre, PA    (perfect if you’d like to park and relax with a happy-hour drink before departure!)
  
  With two Jerry Seinfeld shows happening that night (7:00 PM & 9:30 PM), parking near the venue will be limited — but with GCU, you can leave the stress behind and just enjoy the fun.
  
  Attention Hazleton guests: If you want to take advantage of the bus ride and don't mind tagging along for the longer ride home, we can also accomodate your area!
  (6 guest minimum from Hazleton to add this stop to the itinerary) Please contact Melissa if you are interested in this.
  
  There is an option for the bus to do a seperate pick up at  West Hazleton Area Tomhicken Rd off PA 93 at Interstate 81 Exit 145. The bus would arrive to your stop at 6:45 PM after dropping off the first batch of guests. You would arrive to dinner at 7:15 PM and have 1 hour to eat dinner. You would be along for the ride as the bus will drop off guests in Scranton, PA first after the show. ( The Kirby to Scranton is about 35-40 minutes and the Scranton stop to the Tomhicken Rd Park n Ride is about 1 hour)
  
  We selected to have Scranton guests dropped off first out of consideration for this being a Scranton / WB Constellation event, (Hazleton's main events are Saint Nicholas Dinner and Holupki Open)  as well as considering they have the longer ride for our Sight & Sound trips.

Departure to the Show:

  Short bus ride to the theater The Kirby Center is only 2.8 miles and 11 minutes away!

Arrive at The Kirby Center: (dropped off in style at the door! no need for parking or walking a long distance in the cold)

• 8:30 - 8:45 PM – Arrive for the 9:30 PM Jerry Seinfeld show

 Important Note:
The Kirby Center box office has not released a doors-opening time, as there is an earlier 7:00 PM show. (Guests from the 1st show will need time to exit the theater and the Kirby staff will need time to sweep through the theater to clean up before doors open).This is why we are opting to leave from dinner a bit later due to the bus not being able to sit on the street in front of the Kirby Center. There may be some time sitting on the bus after dinner (10 - 15 minutes ) Please bring your patience — we’ll be on a warm, toasty bus with restrooms, so it’s better to be warm than too early and standing out in the cold if the theater doors aren't open! The good news is we will be dropped off right at the door with no parking worries!
