Any tips? Anyone score any deals through Priceline they want to share? I scored tickets to night 2 and will be flying up early to try to get to show 1 as well. Driving in from Boston.

    I'm staying at the Hilton Garden Inn, it's right across the street from the venue. It's pricey but I got a good deal on Priceline for Pittsburgh and I'm staying at a hostel in Buffalo so I thought I'd give myself a treat :)

    Still looking for tix to Worcester 2 though, no luck in the lottery :cry:

    Worcester is a shithole for the most part.

    Really? I wouldn't say it's a shithole. But then again I've travelled to Philly (Camden) and Hartford to see PJ so I guess I'm a bit biased.

    you know its really not a dump of a city. every city has good and bad parts.

    Hilton is across the street. the Worcester hotel (formerly a Hampton inn) is 2 blocks away. courtyard marriot is close. those are the closest. other hotels are in auburn but that is a town over and a cab ride away.

    again its not that bad of a city.

    How much is it going to cost me to get wasted and eat some greasy food at the end of the night?

    Not as much as it would cost you if they were playing in Boston ;)

    You are probably out of luck staying right around that area.. There are Hilton's and hamptons in that area but they are most deffinitly sold out at this point.. You could stay in nearby auburn or westborough I know there is Hilton's and double trees in those towns that offer or once offered shuttle service.

    There are scattered Marriott around the city not far from the arena but there's major hospitals and business parks in those same areas so it may be tough getting a room at those also!

    Best of luck

    So I guess the available rooms at the Hilton across the street shouldn't be there right now? No trouble booking them for both nights....and with a 15% discount through Travelocity yesterday :ugeek:
