Any Portlandians here? I’m assuming the venue would be the moda center. Any recommendations on what area of town to book refundable accommodation? Likely traveling solo and might take the train down. So looking for a nice / safe area with straightforward commute to venue. TIA. 

I’m local to the area and stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott on east side of Moda Center for Depeche Mode show. Nice clean hotel and short walk to arena. 

Is the area around the arena easily accessible and have decent parking? Driving down for the show and driving right out.

they have a parking garage at Moda Center for $25-30 or you can park on the street or other parking facilities east side of the arena ... I've parked on the street before, like a 15min walk away, for a very little cost or free. Around Lloyd Center there's street parking too with less cost, just need to walk a bit.

From the cancellation announcement

Would be really cool if they stood by this and gave people who initially won tickets a first shot at the next round

It would be great if they did something for those of us who held on to our tickets for two years but ultimately weren’t able to see the show due to the cancellation, but I could see it being logistically difficult. The problem is that so many of the 10c tickets changed hands so many times through F2F. So who gets priority- the people who won the original lottery (who may have subsequently sold their tickets), or those who held on to their tickets until the date of the cancellation (who may have purchased the tickets on F2F)? I’m guessing if they did something it would be to give those who won the original 10c lottery priority, cause I think the latter would be too complicated given how many times tickets changed hands.

agreed....that's a hard promise to make. I was actually going to post something like "are you fucking crazy, of course they aren't going to honor the initial winners" but then I saw that verbiage.

I guess they have that data but what would be the process of asking each person if they want the tickets? Getting updated c/c payment info, etc.? Very difficult.

This^^^^ 100%! But I’m not confident they’ll follow through 

Douglas12373

It doesnt seem that complicated. They have data of those who hit in the lottery. They also have data of those who purchased via TM. I understand tickets changed hands, but is anyone really expecting them to go to that level of effort for this? In any event, I'll be annoyed but unsurprised if its just a brand new lotto

Also, I am certain 2 Philly/1 Balto is happening bc I predicted this exact scenario when I bit the bullet and went to FTW because they weren't playing shows near me. TOTALLY WORTH IT

They could always do a special lottery first for all of the 10C members who won tickets last time a day before the regular lottery.   Doesn't seem that unreasonable.

JojoRice

Hopefully they'll have the lottery process fixed period and not have to re-do it like last time.  That was a mess!!

Maroon 5 just announced 16 day Vegas residency at MGM Dolby Live - Dates include May 17 and 18th

PJ will almost certainly be at MGM Grand if 16/18 are real.  They'll tear down the stage after night 1 to allow Melanie Martinez to play on the 17th.  Theres no other realistic options.

on2legs

The thread on people inadvertently left out of the Baltimore redo lottery will be epic.

If they're gonna make good this is probably the easiest way. Then any Baltimore leftovers go into the general lottery. They would just need to scrub the list to make sure someone doesn't get tickets in both.

Agreed - a Pre-Lottery for still active 10c members who won the first time around is the best idea.  2 days or so before regular 10c Lottery.  

I think tracking down who had F2F tickets is probably impossible, but they should be able to see who won BALT tickets in the initial lotto

Or they can just move the show to Camden Yards and make everyone happy

PJNB

Sacramento and Vegas should get the same treatment if they do something for Baltimore. Hope they can pull it off.

Oh yeah there's no way they could track f2f purchases. It could strictly be for 10C member who won tickets in the 10C lottery first time around. Frankly they could do it regardless of whether it's arena or ballpark.

a quick question for those who know the place , the rumoured venue for Dublin doesnt have seated right? its a park

Merkin Baller

IIRC, when they added a second Worcester show in 2013, they gave first crack at tickets to the people who got shut out of N1. I'm pretty sure there was a separate lottery for them, and then took what was left over from that and had a second lottery for the rest of us... at the risk of getting people's hopes up, it wouldn't be the first time they did an exclusive lottery for people who lost out before.

They did the same for Newark in 10 if I’m correct gave everyone who didn’t get MSG first crack at tickets

By the way that’s another shithole I’ll never go back to for any shows

Any recommandations for hôtels in Berlin accessible by public transports? If they skip Holland and Belgium, I will probably go to Berlin but never go there. Thanks in advance

Anything is accessible in Berlin. It really doesn‘t matter where you stay. Book by reviews and price. If you want to get quick to and back from the venue look for something in the western part of the city or along the „Ringbahn“ (S41 and S42).


Thanks. Have a nice day

Correct, both open air parks, Malahide space is smaller but the place is more accessible than Marlay...bring a coat

So GA is the only option. Should an easy win in the lotery then.

Going to try Barcelona/London/Manchester in seated though

The arena at Mandalay bay is an option.  They've played it before.

They've also played the arena at UNLV before but I dont think there's been any concerts there in years.  Still think MGM is the likely venue.

Douglas12373

TBH I'd rather pay a scalper than trade CFG for Camden Yards

hadrielia

Do you think Barcelona GA will be difficult to get? I will need a 3rd ticket, a friend is doubting about joining to the 10c, but given the latest changes in the lottery I don't know if it would worth it..

Why would it be impossible to find the f2f? They are the ones who got the refund do of course they know who they are!
