    I hope to come over from the UK, but I am gonna have to be really strict on cash :cry:
    So, I can only spend less than cd$85 a night, the cheaper the better but I would prefer no bed bugs and an en suite (I know I am a princess!)
    Any hints or tips gratefully received.

    As per the response I received from the 10 Club : members attempting to get tickets to multiple Canadian tour shows will have to purchase each set of tickets separately. Good luck everybody.

    There is a new Hilton Garden Inn. Sometimes their rates are lower.

    You could spend 500 and still have the same chance of bed Bugs

    Ouch, that is going to be hard to find... I looked on Hotwire and there are 3 star hotels in the $70 range, but they are up in North York (if you're really lucky, it might be on the Yonge subway line, but otherwise it would be difficult to get down to the ACC...) or along the Don Valley (also not readily accessible by subway).

    Perhaps try a B&B? Here's one that is ranked #31 out of 106 B&B's in Toronto on TripAdvisor and has reasonable rates: http://cozytoronto.com/index.html . You could try contacting them about availability. It is downtown and either an easy subway trip or decent walk to the ACC (it is also in the gay community, as long as you're okay with that...). I often use TripAdvisor to find cheaper alternatives to hotels

    Alternatively, find someone on here to share a hotel room with....

    :lol: at the bed bugs, yeah I know...but you get what I mean.

    I shall have a look, I don't mind a B&B or a private hostel room etc.
    Over here I have stayed in uni dorm rooms let out for the holidays too.
    Thanks for the tip :D

    does anyone know what the hotels are right near the old maple leaf gardens? i think last time i saw pj in toronto at acc in 06, i booked a hotel for 2 nights, it was a big hotel near the old maple leaf gardens, and the subway walk was only half block from the hotel, and only had to take 1 subway train to acc took maybe 15 mins tops once on train. anyone have some good hotels for subway line connecting that would be cheaper than acc area hotels please post?

    it sucks film fest is at same time i dont want to pay 300 a night for a room that is highway robbery, i go to vegas much times too and i always compare places to that and feel like i am getting hugely ripped off for that, id have a huge suite in vegas with what i want for that

    The Hotel beside the Maple leaf Gardens used to be the Days Inn. It just reopened last month as a new Holiday Inn. They just spent 20 million renovating the place. I had a tour their last week, and it looks nice.

    The Delta Chelsea is right there as well at Yonge/Gerrard. 3 Subway stops away from the ACC.

    Aside from Cannes, it is the largest Film Festival in the World.

    The Main dates are Sept 9-14.

    If you are the type to look for Celebreties, go shopping in Yorkville, hang out in the lobby of the Soho, Royal York and the Hazelton hotels, and go to the club called Muzik.

    Ugh... Yorkville? If it ain't south of Bloor, I'm not interested! :lol: (I say that in jest as one of my good friends just moved to Dufferen and Dupont after his gf kicked him out)

    But yea, there will be a massive influx of people that week... and he's definitely right, if you want to celebrity chase, stay at the Royal York....
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.
