    This is the UCLA hotel.....you are supposed to be attending a UCLA event to be able to stay there....not sure if the VH1 qualifies.

    This is an old hotel, but rooms are kinda cheap, and its across from UCLA

    How's about a few Pints at the Sherlock Holmes Pub in Trafalgar Square....we will just have to allow 13 hours to get to the venue after.

    For anyone coming to L.A. for the VH1 gig, Ricky Gervais is doing 4 shows in L.A around that time....the first 2 are "warm-up" gigs at the Brentwood Theatre (close to UCLA) and the tix are relatively cheap!

    Yeah, and now I'm stuck with 2 tickets to the gig on Saturday because I'm going to the VH1 show.... :(

    I was in the same boat....went from having Saturday Gervais tix, then girlfriend got us Supergrass tix, then the VH1.

    I sold the Gervais tix on Craigslist, and then got great seats for the Friday show.

    If you're willing to purchase in advance and aren't wedded to a specific hotel, you can get pretty cheap rates through Priceline. Check out biddingfortravel.com or another hotel auction peer to peer website to see what kinds of rates people have gotten, as well as bidding strategies.

    Rates around LAX or in the Valley can be dirt cheap. Closer to UCLA can be higher, but you can do OK for under $150/night.

    I researched these hotels for members on thewho.com but I don't see why they should be the only ones to benefit. You can use this link from UCLA to find any of these and their proximity to Pauley:

    http://www.metrotravelguide.com/hotels_nearby/los_angeles/ca/usa/0/Pauley_Pavilion_-_Ucla/#trafficLogID=508901601&visited=true&cityID=22&ServerID=1055

    I just checked the ones that were $170 or less. You can find plenty that cost more than that on that link.

    Los Angeles West Travelodge $99

    Holiday Inn Express Century City $164

    Best Western Royal Palace Inn And Suites $119.99

    Los Angeles-Days Inn Santa Monica $145

    Comfort Inn Santa Monica $149

    Santa Monica Pico Boulevard Travelodge $139

    Ramada Inn West Hollywood/Beverly Hills Area $169

    Ramada Ltd. Culver City $129

    Santa Monica Motel $129

    Culver City Travelodge $112

    Those hotels are within 1-4 miles of UCLA. Parking is supposed to be pretty bad at Pauley so most people are taking taxis. If a few people go together a taxi won't cost you much.

    For those guys that are going to this show...You guys are so darn lucky and The Who is definitely one awesom rock band, but I can't help but feel that Pearl Jam is probably the only good rock act on there, no disrespect to the others, but I like PJ's music more than the Foo Fighters and Flaming Lips combined....Seems like it's gonna be a rockin' show and seeing The Who and PJ in one night? That's more than a dream come true for any fan! Hope you guys enjoy the show, would definitely love to hear how it went...

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but as someone who has seen the Foo's multiple time, they are awesome.

    I'm not too familiar with the Flaming Lips or Incubus, but I'm psyched to get a couple new (for me) bands.

    Pearl Jam and the Who are in my top 10 of Bands with PJ number 1 overall and the Who between 5 and 10.

    just listen to the album Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots and you'll be significantly more excited about this show...

    Yeah, that's cool Wilds! Maybe if I saw them live then maybe I'd be more convinced, but yeah, I'm not saying they suck or anything, I sometimes listen to them and honestly, rather listen to them than any of today's music, I hope I didn't step on anyone's toes by saying that or offend anyone....But I like Incubus, I think you'll like them Wilds, they're a good band and yeah, The Who is definitely in the list of fav. bands! But is it true that Coldplay is a special guest? I can't imagine them preforming a Who song....

    Hehe, thanks for the heads up r1vers, I'll look that up...maybe it'll work :D

    Coldplay is still just a rumor. Seems to be a strong one though.
    The webmaster at thewho.com has said that this is strictly a VH1 gig and they're the only ones who have any say over what's going to happen. So that's the only source I consider more than halfway accurate.
    At this point I'm assuming anything could happen and I'm just really happy I'm gonna see The Who and Pearl Jam.

    The only sad part about other bands being added, is it will probably take away from PJ's set time/allowance.

    whoprincess, thanks for clearing that up, it'd be nice if it's just the bands announced and no other additions, Like what Wilds said, if there were more bands added then PJ's time would be shorter, but whoprincess, you are so lucky to get to see two of the greatest rock bands around! I hope you have a great time! And would love to hear fanviews later on.

    I've got 2 spares for the VH1 Rockhonors if anyone is interested - ended up with 2 extra because a friend also has tix - these are 2 hard tickets in section 316A - PM me if interested. Both tix for $150 - i paid a little more, but that is FV - or will trade for any Radiohead tix - LA, SD, or SB.
