Are you booking non-refundable flights before the lottery results?

in The Porch
There are so many moving parts involved in traveling to a show.

I have a hotel with a liberal cancellation policy, but I am still torn as to when to book my flights....would hate to get stuck with air tickets if we get shut out for gig tickets.

    No. People are flying in from across the world. I'd be shocked if ticket prices fluctuated based on PJ fan travel over a five day period.

    Of course PJ fan travel won't effect the prices, but you never know when other factors will kick-in and cause an uptick.....or maybe even a downtick, in prices.

    Yes, I booked flights from Europe.
    TC promised they bring nearly everyone of us inside (much more TC-tickets than in the past), so my number 1 and 2 choices should be successful?!
    If not- I think about when it happens...

    No, however just waiting on better rates. I did secure an airbnb in Boston, only 1/2 of which is refundable. Bring on Fenway!! :smiley:

    Booked flights and hotel, NY to Seattle, when they announced. Regardless of the lottery outcome, I will be at both shows. No way that I am missing PJ in Seattle on my 40th bday!

    I wouldn't book non-refundable flights or hotels even if I had secured tickets. Concerts get cancelled for all kinds of reasons.

    I booked flights and hotel to Chicago from Calgary, but it was all free as I won the Let’s Play Two Canada contest. If I don’t get tickets I’ll stand outside and listen to it.
