2013 was great and 2008 was incredible.

Yeah I missed 2013, my wife was 8 1/2 months pregnant. I still kick my butt for not seeing that show. Was 2013 better than 2010 in your opinion?

I went to the Hilton website to check on room rates in Lexington. Looks like all but a few of the hotels are booked. Is there another event that weekend? Rolex 3 day is the next weekend. Could be setup for that. I poked around and didn't see anything else. Is it all of you guys booking rooms?

Most people wait until they have tickets. This is OCDish.

How could an attempt to stay ahead of the game be labeled OCD? Find that assertion silly.

The tour hasn't even been announced. The lottery is not open. Tickets are not on sale. But people are booking rooms. I understand you can cancel, but this is not a standard approach. You don't see why this is OCDish? Really?
Again, most people wait until they have tickets until they make travel plans. I've always waited until I secured tickets and I've always gotten my Plan A hotel room.

this is not standard approach? did you write a book about this or something? to each their own.

No, you must be right. I'm sure 99% of people book after reading a rumor.

Why do you care if I book a room based on a rumor? I put exactly zero dollars Amd zero cents down with a no fee cancellation.

Well Ed says he's not going to tour in October anymore in case the Cubs make it to the World Series. Is that OCD?

It may not be what most people do, but it's a zero risk, high reward situation. OCD implies some sort of defect in thought process. Any kind of speculation by your definition would therefore be OCD. It's not something you would do, obviously, but I know some people would judge you just by the fact you're willing to travel to see a band you love.

I don't care. Why did you care when I said it wasn't the standard approach? Obviously, almost all people don't book based off rumors. I didn't think anyone could argue with this, but here at the Pit, anything's possible. I didn't write a book, but I do possess an once of common sense. Again, I must be wrong which makes you right. BOOK THOSE WEST COAST SHOWS NOW!

As always, its not a PJ board discussion without people jumping all over someone for stating their opinion.

I ll buy you and your "once" of common sense a beer in Hartford!!! Fingers crossed I get to go to four shows this tour. And If it s not Hartford then Albany it is!!

Booking a room that's cancel-able makes great sense. 48hrs tops after dates are released prices will be very friendly to the owner of any hotel.

Anyone who has booked in advance is making a smart move.

If booking a room makes people happy, what does it matter if it's common sense or not ?

I don't even know what common sense is because it's different for everybody.

this is a funny argument

Very very true. I don't have to worry about hotels considering that I don't live too far from Atlanta and Nashville (if those dates are true). Those will most likely be my only two shows of the tour

Dug out my 10 club email from 2014 tour. The email announcement came May 21st stating that you could enter the drawing then until May 28th 10am. Tickets were drawn on May 28th and you were notified that day if you won. Ticketmaster went on sale May 30th.

Thank you.

I m pumped for Hartford. I loved seeing them there in 2010, 2006 sucked.

2013 was great and 2008 was incredible.

Yeah I missed 2013, my wife was 8 1/2 months pregnant. I still kick my butt for not seeing that show. Was 2013 better than 2010 in your opinion?

I didn't go to 2010!

If the rumor of Lexington is true that is both exciting and disappointing. Exciting because it will be closest to home but disappointing that they are skipping over the Yum Center in Louisville. Louisville is a bigger city with only slightly smaller seating capacity than Rupp. And YUM is newer and the sound is much better. I believe Rupp seats 23,500 and YUM 22,090.

2010 was a great show but 2013 was a special show if that makes sense. You could tell the band felt like it was a special occasion all night. It was a Friday night, it was the last northeast show of the tour...it was one of the best shows I have been to.

Holiday Inn Express in Albany has gone up in price since I looked this afternoon. Shit.

Can't speak for samjam but I booked the Novotel. Close to the venue, looks pretty good, and had a good refundable rate.

Swap Pitt for buffalo and that's my '16 wish list.
