Am I understanding this right - no single day tickets to Voodoo Fest?

voodoo usually doesn't sell out and single day tickets only get put up for sale a couple of weeks in advance of the show (usually 95-100/day).

In all honestly though - $175 for a Pearl Jam and NIN ticket is a pretty damn good value in terms of ticket prices...

I'm going to buy my passes momentarily, just waiting to hear back from a buddy if he wants to join us or not....

Hope for your sake they're not in Houston Thursday night

I'm trying to book my hotel room now.. and in New Orleans for Halloween... but mostly cause I don't want to drive all day Friday and miss part of that day. Even if they don't play til late. At least hotel is refundable but I'm waiting it out a little bit to buy my ticket.

Pretty sure you're right shep...just wanted to give you something to stress about! :P

thanks Cameron - Appreciate it. :fp:

Really hope the rest of the dates come soon... and that it is a tour of the south, not a one off show in NOLA and then bolt straight up the east coast as fast as they can go...

yep...nothing would surprise me at this point.

I should have texted you, this has me nervous! I'm using a slew of hotel points and some change so it's dirt cheap. What's wrong with that city?!!

Ok, so... Anyone here feel free to jump in and correct any mis-information i'm about to give...

Prior to Katrina (yes, I'm going way back) a lot of the less-wealthy people evacuated NOLA and moved to Houston as a temporary safe location. When Katrina went nuclear and destroyed 3/4ers of the city (insert when the levee breaks here), many of these individuals pocketed their FEMA money and decided to stay in Houston... never even went back to survey the damage. They all centered in low-rent neighborhoods here in Houston where FEMA had put them up "temporarily"... their are complete sections of suburbia around here you stay the fuck away from now as a result... but I'm getting off topic....

Anyway, from what I have been told by many of the Louisianians that I work with Metairie was one of the worst hit areas, with a lot of damage and a lot of abandoned housing that has never been restored... and is subject to a lot squatters, low-lifes, etc, etc even to this day, 8-years later....

Now this may all be hearsay, but every time I'm headed to NOLA I seem to always be given the advice to not stay in Metairie if I can avoid it....

I have ALWAYS heard to stay away from Metairie. I would never stay there, and as a female traveling alone, definitely NOT.

I don't think I'd be going alone.. not sure on that one just yet.. But thanks for all of this. The one I was looking at is about 10 miles West of City Park off 10.

Rhinomagic could chime in here. I believe you're right though.

I just booked a random Holiday Inn with hotel points.. so free! But definitely not going alone. Too far, too big for that.
