Several hotels near Time Warner arena within walking distance. If anyone has a pre party I have 6 unopened bottles of Faithful Ale. Willing to trade one or two for some bootlegs or other items. Also will be drinking one the day of the show to celebrate.
So excited, I won both Charlottesville and Charlotte. My only two choices and I got both. I can't wait. This will be my first time seeing pj indoors. I've only seen outdoor festivals and that big concrete slab of an outdoor amphitheater in Bristow.

Heading here as well with the wife after attending the Charlottesville show night prior! Reserved seats. This is a pretty good venue as we've seen RHCP and Foo Fighters before and for sure didn't have as good seats as we hope to this time! I might start a new thread to see just how many other folks are doing these two VA/NC shows back to back.
Requested GA #1, got Reserved #2. 165XXX. Probably for the best as my old A$$ might not be able to hang in the Pit anymore! Still excited that they are coming back to Charlotte and grateful to be in the building!

For those in or around Charlotte, any thoughts on the Blake Hotel? It's $112/night if you pre-purchase and that's better than most of the places I'm seeing within walking distance. Reviews seem mixed, though.

Got GA for Charlottesville and my buddy got GA Charlotte! Two nights in a row in GA, can't wait! Just a 10 min walk to the train and 3 stops away from the arena! Shortest distance I've ever had to travel to see the band! Starting early that weds as soon as we get back from Charlottesville! Who's in??? See everyone soon!

Never mind on this...Priceline was running an express deal so I'll be at the Omni. Thanks, William Shatner.

Booked a room at the Hyatt House, which looks to be right there at the arena. A little pricey, but I don't mind that I'll be within stumbling distance to the hotel!
Booked over at the Hampton Inn-Uptown. Just a few blocks from the venue. Now if a local can recommend the best watering holes in walking distance that would be great.
Last time I was there it was for a 2009 Springsteen show and a bunch of us tailgated in a parking lot.
Excited to say that I will be attending both the Charlotte and Virginia shows with reserved seats. I'm looking forward to Charlotte the most though... I heard my first Pearl Jam show live from the top of my parents' car outside Charlotte's Memorial Stadium in 1996 when I was 12, so Charlotte and Pearl Jam are forever linked for me. I've seen PJ in Charlotte twice since then, in 2000 and 2003, and both were great shows with great crowds. October's show will be the first time I'll see them play Charlotte at an indoor venue. I've seen many other bands at Time Warner Cable arena and they've all been awesome shows. Can't wait!!!

This. Would love to booze with some fellow PJ fans prior to the show.
