Skydome Hotel (Renaissance Downtown Toronto) has been showing NOTHING for Sat. July 3rd since early yesterday. I even called reservations, and the guy confirmed they had no openings.
I find that incredible, considering that the show was only announced to U2.com subscribers in the wee hours, yesterday. Something's fishy.
Nah I just think the lunatics have booked already
No, that's pretty much impossible. We stayed there in Sept, and I've stayed there lots before, they wouldn't have sold out that fast.
Canada Day weekend, maybe?
Maybe they have good views of the fireworks over Lake Ontario?
Yep, July 1st!

Anyone out there with knowledge of the hotel industry care to speculate on what might be going on?

Not GA Lite
as I posted a few pages back, I used to work for a Hilton, revenue dept spikes rates as soon as a big event is going on, as others hotels sell out prices just go up and up and getting a room gets only more difficult and still they oversell and if you're the last one to show up (supposing everybody showed up) you'll be walked away most big hotels do this
it is so early so they will oversell and in their sistem they sell more rooms than they actually have, cancelations are going to happen for sure or at least they're going to take chances like flight cancelations/delays/missed connection/weather/etc when Florida is hit by a huricane it is an icredible chain reaction!! it's all ods! sometimes major conventions take place at the hotel and corporations block a good amount of rooms, if you don't mind, what hotel will you be staying at?Yeah, we booked in the spring, just a few hours after the TO shows were announced, and got in before the rates were hiked. I can't remember the exact timing, but I do know there were rooms available for weeks or months after the show was announced.
I'm just wondering if they're holding the rooms till closer to the event, and then releasing them at a much higher rate. That doesn't account for why Sunday night is shown as full, though.
I actually know a trick that might get us in for Saturday, though.

Would a business convention be likely on a summer long weekend?
was wondering this myself.. it seems like this maybe a factor..
If you stay in town.....the next biggest party (compared to the U2 show) also hits Toronto.
The Gay Pride Parade.....
(honestly....the festivities are the only major time where you can really party in the streets of Toronto)
The Parade is the 4th.
Toronto’s 30th Annual Pride Parade :: Pride Week 2010 - June 25th to July 4th
