Thanks for all the info..I've never heard of Priceline.com until I read all of your posts here--I managed to score $55 hotel room at the Toronto Harbour Castle...looks amazing. See some of you there!!

FYI--I put in $55 for three nights and got rejected for a four star hotel downtown. I then put in for $70 per night and got this place: Sheraton Centre Toronto Hotel. The reviews seem hit or miss. Anyone have any thoughts on this joint?

Didn't read the reviews but that's where my bid landed me as well.

I read some of the reviews on it... I thought it looked about 90% positive. It's so hard to tell. some people just like to complain (have you read the msg boards lately), and some people are happy no matter what. If you toss out the top 5 and bottom 5 reviews as a filter, I think it looks like a pretty good place.
These great deals are making me think that I should just stay downtown after the show instead of going back home
geez, if you have $$$ to burn then rest assured you'll be purchasing my poster that evening!

the airport?! that's going to be a major hassle. did you specifically choose the airport region when you made your Priceline offer?

OUCH. You must have inadvertently picked the airport region, which is its own region in Toronto. That's not good. At all.
There may be public transportation, but it certainly isn't anything that is regular or that is all that great. In fact, one of the bad things about Toronto in general is the lack of good public transportation form the airport to our downtown core.

i tried a 4 star at 55.00 with not luck, went to 3 1/2 at 55.00 and got the delta chelsea, it looked good to me with a great location, how can you beat 55.00 ? considering what i paid last year in NY.

cool--see you there. looks like it's pretty decent and close to public transporatation. just need to find cheap parking now...anyone know a cheap lot near this place?

I did the same and got the Delta too. How far is it from the Molson?
Yes! Priceline is awesome! BeerBaron introduced me to Priceline and betterbidding.com last year and it was a life saver! Thanks again! It's coming in handy again this year with a trip out west in July.
My friend and I are only about 45 minutes east of Toronto and usually drive home after concerts, but I'm debating getting a room. I suppose it all comes down to whether or not my friend feels comfortable leaving baby home alone with daddy overnight.
I've stayed at both the Delta Chelsea (Pearl Jam 06) and the Sheraton Center (Ed 08) and both were great! No complaints at all :-)

You can park across the street in the underground city hall garage. It connects to the hotel under the road. Rates are $2/hr with a max of $25 M-F and max of $6 Sat. and Sun. I think this is the link: http://www.greenp.com/tpa/parkinglocato ... _OPTION=11
It's a nice hotel - I've stayed there a few times and always enjoyed it.
I would like to thank everyone who has posted information on this thread. I just booked Priceline - Westin for $60 and would never have figured all this out without all of your help.
I am relatively new to Pearl Jam and the Ten Club but have quickly become addicted to both. And as I read all the threads complaining about ticket prices, Ten Club policies et cetera I get frustrated.
My experiences with the Club have all been incredibly positive and the message we all should be helping convey is one of help and support - The Club exists for that reason and in this fat old bald persons opinion they do a fantastic job.
So thanks to the Club for providing a forum for me to learn more about the band and travel/tour secrets and thanks to all you helpful members!!!

There are some mushrooms to be found under all this shit
This place is great for networking, planning, saving cash at tour time...
I, for some reason, thought you couldn't use priceline with a Canadian credit card (did it used to be that way?)...I probably wouldn't have tried if not for this thread, so thanks everyone
Does everyone remember Mr. Merkinball? He hooked us up last Auguest during the Eddie Vedder Toronto Solo show's; at the Delta Chelsea Downtown Toronto!
If you need any info, and want to book, email Jonathan at <!-- e --><a href="mailto:jonathan_holliwell@deltachelsea.com">jonathan_holliwell@deltachelsea.com</a><!-- e -->
Got the Delta Chelsea for Friday and Saturday night for $55 dollars a night on Priceline.

Thanks for the priceline suggestion. We are coming from Albany ny and were gonna pay 150 a night! Instead we are paying 63 a night for the Marriot Bloor Yorkville. If anyone knows the best way to get around especially to the molson without driving that would be greatly appreciated! thanks

downtown toronto is very walkable but if you don't feel like it - the transit system is great ... another option for the more active is to bike ... city is essentially a grid so if you can read a map - it's fairly easy to get around as well ...
where you are staying is a hub station for our subway line so you can get to a lot of places relatively quick ... two options for you to get to the amphitheatre is subway south to unio - take LRT to exhibition place or take suway west to bathurst and take streetcar to exhibition ...
for those who are arriving early and have the day free - remember the CNE opens that day and that your concert ticket should get you into it as well as Ontario Place (tourist attraction) ... spend the day going on rides and doing fair type stuff and then go see PJ ... bring comfortable walking shoes tho ...

For the record I put in 3.5 stars and $50 per night. I love priceline
