Official Nashville 2025

Trying to decide between this one or Pittsburgh.

It's about the same distance for me, but I've never been to Pitt, so I thought about trying for those, but I think more people will try for that one, so I'm torn.

I've been to Nashville and Pittsburgh for previous tours.
There is a lot to do in both cities, good food, etc.
You will have fun regardless of which city you select.

We went to the show there in 2022. When the show let out, I couldn't believe all those people on Broadway had been at the show. I quickly learned that the street is already packed like that each weekend night, and that the PJ fans just added to the insane crowd. We found a place to grab some pizza and went back to the hotel. It was way too crowded for us. Planning on attending the shows in May!

Yeah, I've been to Nashville. It was ok... not quite my vibe with all the country bars, but there was a few fun things to do. So Pitt maybe the best option, but didn't want to hurt my chances because I feel like lots of people will be choosing Pitt.

Put in for the 2nd show - hoping for GA as my 499X number will def put me up in the nosebleeds. Nashville is always a fun time!

What's the hotel situation looking like (Nashville) for those already securing rooms?

Rough if you're wanting to be downtown. They're pretty pricey. Others have been having luck booking cheaper further out, with plans to commute in.

I'm just thankful for the rumors last week. I got super lucky. I've worked for a certain hotel company the last 10 years, and they have a decent property about a block from the venue that I've stayed at many times. I no longer work for them, but my friend does. So when I got wind of the dates last week, I had her book us at employee rates before they blocked them for those dates (which they've now done). The room we booked is currently going for $2160.58 total, plus $35 per day parking for those 4 nights. Instead, we're paying $284 total, with free parking. So the rumors saved me over $2k.
Now I just have to stay in her good graces for the next 5 months.

Na, you'll be fine.  I'm a 533xxx number and for the 22' Nashville show my 10c seats were in the lower bowl in the corner. Section 119.

That's good to know - Chicago United 2023 they had me in the corner of upper bowl. I wonder if there was just considerably more demand for that one, or if it was because of the re-draw fiasco. They originally had me in decent lower bowl seats about half way back.

Look at hotels in Antioch,TN. It's about a 15 minute drive to downtown. Hotels are nice and affordable.

We booked this. Cheapest we could find within a 30 minute walk. Doesn't look bad at all.

Comfort Inn & Suites Nashville Downtown - Stadium

Now all we need is tix to the two shows.

Same here...532xxx number and my Nashville tickets were in Sec 119. But it goes w/o saying that those seats were assigned back in 2020, when TicketsToday ran the lottery, GA Pit and Reserved were separate levels, and you could still see percentages of requests for a particular show (getting GA Pit had a 21% chance, while Reserved had a 99% chance when I submitted my request).

Now that TM is running the show exclusively, who knows what's going on behind the wizard's curtain.

I’ve stayed there, it’s good but I prefer Holiday Inn West End Vanderbilt. They have a shuttle and a cheap uber. Great bars near by.

Great point. It's been a mess since TM started doing it.

For 1 night sleep sure. Would not like it for multiple nights.

Amazing what happens when you keep looking. The property right next to the Comfort Inn is cheaper today than the Comfort Inn. So we moved our reservations. 3 star hotel instead of 2 star and the recent reviews are soooo much better. That's the La Quinta Inn & Suites.

I put in for both nights.  Will be driving from Atlanta.  No hotels for me.  Will drive home after each show.  I drove home after the show in 2022 and after loosing an hour I got home about 4 AM.  In the past eight years the 2022 show in Nashville is the only show that has been a reasonable driving distance for me.
