After-Party: April 13th (Crescent Ballroom Lounge)

Hotel:
Here's a map link with hotels near the venue and pre-party http://g.co/maps/6hgz4.

Comerica Theater (EV concert) is on 4th Ave and Washington and Crescent Ballroom (pre-party) is on 3rd Ave just North of Van Buren. Any of the hotels between 3rd St and Central that you see in that area would be OK. I would not recommend anything West of the venue, though. Further West and you run into the hotels that either charge by week or by hour :oops: .

Street parking in downtown Phoenix is metered until 5PM. Most meters still say 8PM, but it was recently changed and the new stickers haven't been rolled out yet. There are a bunch of parking lots that charge by the day (self serve kind of lots) nearby. With no Suns or Diamondbacks games at home that night, parking should be abundant in all but the spaces closest to Comerica.

Post your RSVP here! Hope to see lots of you there!
Check this 1st post, which will stay updated.

GoodbyeForNow · February 2012

Threw my name in for Vegas and Phoenix and got tickets to Phoenix!! So excited. We'll be flying from Vancouver and have never been to Phoenix before so looking forward to seeing the trip. Any advise on where to stay (close to the venue if possible) would be greatly appreciated!!! Thank you.

There's a westin right around the block from the theatre, not much to do there though. Tempe/Scottsdale has more nightlife but it's a cab ride or you could stay somewhere the light rail goes to. I live up in the mountains so I'm thinking of just staying down there myself. It's easier than driving all the way back up in the middle of the night (although there are a few good EV songs that would make for an excellent soundtrack on the way home).

Funny... I flew up from PHX to see Pearl Jam in Vancouver last year. You Canadians are really hospitable! Hope we Phoenicians return the favor!

PHX is kind of a sleepy downtown... Sheri is right... Not a whole lot to do unless there's a big event like a basketball game going on... The Suns are playing away games all that week...

I usually recommend the Sheraton if you're going to be downtown... It's close to the venue... Reasonable rates - and their staff tries very hard to make you feel comfortable. Really, anywhere around the convention center is gonna be decent, whether it's the Hyatt, Westin or Renaissance.

Otherwise, if you can splurge a little on where you wanna stay and make the most of your visit, rent a car and stay at one of the resorts. The Biltmore, the Phoenician, Talking Stick, etc... Check 'em out.

Safe travels! See you when you get here!!! Hope you have a blast!!

I agree with Sheri zona that Tempe / Scottsdale is the place to stay. Downtown Phx is all daytime businesses with little nightlife (except for Phoenix Suns basketball games.) Tempe Royal Palms is a great hotel next to the light rail, which will take you right downtown to the venue. No affiliation, but I've stayed there. It's near the university, so there's lots of bars & restaurants in the area.

If you rent a car and can schedule an extra day try to make a trip up to Sedona / Jerome. Great areas to visit, very scenic and lots to see & do. Grand Canyon is more than a day trip (up & back), but also something to think about.

Hope you have a fantastic trip. See you at the pre-party and the concert!
P.S. I saw PJ in Toronto last September. Canadians were the nicest people anywhere!

I'm LOL cause I flew from Phoenix up to Vancouver too last year for the show. My husband's first time in Vancouver, he LOVED it!

Welcome neighbors! We're gonna have a GREAT time!

Peace,
KJ

kj1nyr · February 2012

btw, anyone got any insider info on where the seats might be for the Phoenix show? I'm sorely tempted to try for another pair of tix in the public on sale today, just to ensure I'm not up in the balcony. I can't really afford it but we haven't had a show in 9 years and yes, I'm one of those spoiled peeps with the low 10C number.

derbydave · February 2012

I'm in for the Phoenix Preparty...

Got my ticket from the public sale today!!

Section 4 / Row 23 or 25 (can't remember which row ) / Seat 3

See you on FRIDAY THE 13th :ugeek:

Great call, we are planning a trip up to Jerome probably for an overnight while out there in April. I was there in November, and didn't realize places like that still exist in the world, what an incredible town.

And I second the PS sentiment, I went to Montreal in September, and wore my Bruins cap to the show @ The Bell Centre, and I got 99% congratulations on the SC victory - great people up there!

I will be back in touch if I can A) make the pre-party and

donate anything to the cause.

Can't wait for April!!!!

If someone wants to try Priceline or Hotwire and gets a good deal let us know and we'll post here.

I've been checking Hotwire for hotels and need a bit of advice...
I'm seeing a BUNCH of pretty good deals on rooms in the Sky Harbor Airport & Metro Center - Phoenix North - Deer Valley areas of town.

I'm doing the 2 Vegas shows and then driving down to Phoenix Friday morning, so I'll have a rental car.
Not concerned about having to drive a little bit to get to the venue, just want to stay somewhere that's not too expensive but also in a decent part of town.
I typically avoid downtown hotels...they are usually overpriced and difficult to find parking without paying an arm & leg...with that being said - which parts of Phoenix are better for a visitor to stay??
I'm planning on hitting the Pre-party too!!!
Thanks for any assistance!! :ugeek:
