If you opt for bus travel between Philly and NYC, note
the bus station is a block closer to the same
8th and Market PATCO station.

I think that surface transit (a NJ Transit bus)
or cabbing it over into (well, back from, really,
since that will be late after the show) Philly is highly
recommended. Camden is rough, PS' 1995 romanticizing
of it notwithstanding: "Well, make it safe with your
presence."
Duh. No, make it safe with yours.
To make a long story short (impossible!) Camden is directly
across the river from downtown Philly, and the river ain't that
wide.
Budget what you'd budget for getting to Philly, and
add in the time/money for a short train or bus or
cab ride to Camden. The PATCO trains, at their
most-off-peak, run thirty minutes apart.
You do not want to be by yourself at that station,
waiting for the PATCO coming back into Philly post-show.
But going over will be alright, I think. DEFINITELY get
word from NJ Transit on buses that will come by
your exact destination (the WW Center) and/or get you
back to NYC.
And one other thing. Enjoy yourself <Kinison>BECAUSE I
WON'T BE ABLE TO. OHH OHHHH OHHHHHHHHHH!</kinison>.
