    How much did you bid, if you don't mind me asking - and how much did it come to once they add their charges, which I'm assuming are present? Thanks!

    we bid $60 so it was $405 for 3 nights 2 rooms that i got and right after that my friend got his room @ $60 a night as well.

    Cool, thanks! For anyone who's looking, I don't know if the service charges are consistent for any price purchase, but if they are, that's 12.5% service charges on top of your bid, so if you just multiply your your bid by your number of rooms, number of nights, and 1.125, that'll be your total. Hope that helps someone on a tight budget!

    A significant portion of that is the taxes that you are prepaying up front. Yes, there is a Priceline fee in there too, but it is not 12.5%. You'll notice that the percentage varies depending on the taxes in the applicable city/state that you are staying in.

  • This is a great idea but I'm having trouble understanding with the site though... I selected the Millenium Park box, 4-star, then bid $60 but I have to give my credit card info BEFORE it will let me know what's available for that particular Hyatt Regency? What if my bid is accepted but it's for another hotel?
    Makes much more sense to live in the Present Tense.

    Unfortunately, that's the risk you take. If you take a look though, there's only three four star hotels in Millenium Park area, so your odds are pretty high, especially when you consider the fact that no one here has been put anywhere else, and the fact that the hotel has over 2,000 rooms.

    Fair enough. Even if I don't get into the Hyatt, the other hotels would probably still good for $60/night!

    What happens if they don't accept my offer? Will my card still be charged for a higher amount?

    Nope - if they reject you, your card doesn't get charged at all, and you won't be allowed to book a room for 24 hours, at which point you can try again.

  • Put another name on that list. Sunday night for sure and maybe Monday as well. I'm blown away by the amount of fans staying in one building, very cool. I remember waiting in line for Vegas 03 tickets and meeting maybe a dozed or two dozen fans, but nothing like this.

    I also feel like we should rent out some conference rooms and hold a pearl jam conference. Different people presenting on different pearl jam related topics. i know there could be a good panel discussion on which drummer is pearl jam's best :)

    Looking forward to August.

    I was thinking, though I know this would be near impossible to plan, but for those of us who play instruments, how freaking cool would it be to organize a jam somewhere equipped with some basic instruments? (Guitar, bass, mic, keyboard maybe, drums)

  • Wow guys, thank you so much for this tip! I got my 6 night hotel stay for only $65/night! I was expecting to pay almost double that. And it's so cool to have that many PJ fans under one roof. Add me + my bf (not sure of his user name here... he's not much of a message poster).

    Hubby and I are staying here too. He's not a fan and he keeps teasing me saying he will dress as Mr. Spock and every time he sees a person wearing a Pearl Jam shirt he will ask them which way the Star Trek convention is. Then if anyone mentions anything about the UC shows, he'll go "OMG! There are Pearl Jam shows too? That's freaking awesome!"
