Phoenix (Glendale)

If anyone wants to share a room we have extra space. Im staying at the Embassy Suites (which all the rooms are obviously suites) right near the airport.

We are going to rent a car to get to the shows so obviosuly you can carpool with us. The hotel provides a shuttle to and from the airport so no worries about that.

heres the hotel site

$100 for Wed-Sun seem fair?

 

[U2fan05]

How many people are sharing one room. Also, did you include taxes when arriving at $100. Hotel taxes can be steep.

I was looking at the Super 8 at I17 & Northern. There's also a super 8 at Indian School & I17. Do you know anything about either one. These are the cheapest I could find. I already booked the Crossland Hotel at McDowell & 51st. I can cancel it though. I thought it seemed okay. There are a bunch of hotels in that area right of the hwy. Does that Northern st. have alot of traffic in the morning. I have GAs

Thanks.

Yes, Northern has tons of traffic in the morning, but fortunately most of that is moving towards the the freeway, and you'll be going away from it, so it shouldn't be too terribly bad. Unless that Super 8 is on the east side of the freeway, in which case you might have a little trouble getting across the freeway during rush hour. But most of the way, it should be ok, at least by comparison. Northern can get very congested at times, especially near the freeway. And the one on Northern is going to be a better bet than the one on Indian School. Not only is it closer, but it's a better neighborhood.

They're also doing road construction on some of the roads leading to the arena, so I will keep everyone updated on spots to avoid, as the concert gets closer.

Did you book online, because it shows at $44 night

i did priceline, but when i checked the website is said $39--but maybe that's because it's a single and not double?

 

[editorinchief]

Just me and another buddy. The whole thing came out $300 for the room plus $80 for the car for two days.

The room has two doubles and a pull out sofa bed so there is a "bed" for three people.

Hey everyone,

I know that Phoenix tickets are not as hot for some reason, but I do have 2 for the 4/14 show that I desperately need to sell. They are in section 119, one is row U and the other row Z. I can sell them seperately and I'm looking to sell for $100 apiece, but that is negotiable. I'm coming to Phoenix from Atlanta to see the 4/15 show and so I won't be able to go on the 14th. Please pass this along if you know anyone who might be interested, it would be a huge help. Thanks!

Why will I need to line up before they let us into the arena? What time will they let us in? I'll be arriving around lunchtime, so scoop me.

I have a GA, but if the scanner decides, even after the show starts, why should I wait in line all day?

 

[U2fan05]

Does somebody want to call Glendale Arena and encourage them to use the San Jose wristband policy. Here's the policy in detail: san jose arena

 

[Chizip]

i wouldnt mind the san jose policy, it sounded like it worked out pretty well

 

[EPandAmerica]

Martha the only reason to line up early is to get a good spot outside the Ellipse if you don't get scanned to go inside it. The spots on the outside rail of the oval fill up pretty fast.

*cough* You may want to at least be at the arena between 2 & 5pm for soundcheck though.
