    I don't think that's a possibility and it would cause a riot here and a ton of people not renewing.
    This show, another show, a show here and a show there.

    So you guys are all jumped up on having a place to stay, but no tickets? That seems backwards to me.

    Doesn't cost anything to make a fully cancellable hotel reservation except for 3 minutes on the hotel's website.
    This guy gets it.

    I get tickets to shows I want to go to and never have had to pay more than $200. It is not difficult to get tickets to a 20,000 seat arena show.

    That said, I am someone who likes a good seat but is okay just being in the building so have had my fair share of behind the stage seats and wings all the way opposite the stage.

    Booking a hotel walking distance to the venue is a good decision about 30% of the time.

    The Wrigley experience soured me on hotels that aren't walking distance to the venue. If I'm travelling to a show I'm staying within a mile radius of the venue from now on.

    For the Wrigley show I stayed at the Days Inn Chicago, which according to Google Maps is 1.2 miles from the venue. I have to stay after standing in line for 2 days @ 6 hours each day in the merch lines that 1.2 mile walk was just about my limit so I definitely agree with your assessment.

    That walk was definitley crazy :lol: The whole area was full of all shades of drag queens! I felt bad for the people who had to walk their kids home afterwards. Not the best area to walk around in past midnight.
    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue
