Yes, I too would pay more for an indoor arena or stadium show right now. I don't really want to spend the day or evening wading through the crowd for food/drink/bathrooms at my age-and I'm not that old-just tired of dealing with the foolishness that cheap festival tickets inspire.
If I had my way it would be at Lucas Oil. If the weather is nice the roof will be open. If the weather turns foul they can close the roof. The large windows will still allow a view of downtown and the fireworks over the city while the Stones play.
I'm glad we made our reservation last week. I figured hotel rates would start to skyrocket once the rumors of the Stones coming to Milwaukee started to become public knowledge!!
Just saw that myself... LP Field June 10th..(??)

Welcome to the IORR board, Ron. Where are you from?

A reservation does not guarentee anything, not even a room, let alone the price. If you PAY for the room, then the price is locked, but the chance of your room being double booked is still not unheard of for various reasons...
In other words, if someone comes up and says they will pay more for a room that has NOT been paid for...what do you think the hotel is going to do?
Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 2015-03-23 04:03 by UndercoverLovingcup.
Depends on the hotel;
Hilton guarantees your pricing when you book with them.
I'm a Travel Agent, and as stated above, you can always get bumped. That is why you should always use a Travel Agent because it costs you nothing and a hotel worker knows not to upset an agency revenue stream...
Welcome Dan! Where are you from? What show(s) are you planning on seeing this summer?

My take on this is that you should print out your reservation with the quoted price. If the hotel charges you more, challenge it on via your credit card and say that you booked based on the quoted price.
That is not my experience, what hotels do you stay at? Marriott run hotels do not change rates, once you are booked. Sometimes, for major events or very busy times, they require partial payment to book a room and/or require the reservation to be guaranteed (no cancellation) when it is made.
I booked at the Milwaukee Marriott Downtown a week ago. Not sure if their rates have gone up since then, but I'm confident my rate will not change and I can cancel up to the day before.
That is not the same thing...I am speaking if you HAVE NOT PAID yet for the room...if you notice where i said "if you PAY for the room, the rate is locked.." What i said is that if all you have is a reservation, then the rate can change at the discresion of the hotel...you have NOT made any contract for rate until you pay. This is standard policy for ANY hotel...that is why you are asked to pay at time of booking to SECURE THE ROOM and RATE. And as Johnny said above...it also depends on the hotel. Most of the chains and higher end hotels would rather toss you to a lower chain and give your room to someone for 5 times your price...why? Because they can.
Anyway...i simply responded to a questions someone had...let's not hijack this thread any more with this silliness.
BRING ON AN EFFIN TOUR ALREADY!!!

Yeah, I'm in the same boat. Been traveling fairly constantly for over 30 years and have never been bumped or has rates change. On rare occasions the room I booked is not available (King size bed vs two twins, for example).
Perhaps one needs to avoid hotels managed by the Sopranos?

The more I think about it - again only speculation, Stones play Indy Speedway on National TV and put on the biggest fireworks display ever seen. Also seems like there maybe other bands in play.
I will have seen them before that date - Only care to see them but if Indy is turned into a festival - hey why not?
A very big rumor in Indy this week is that the Indy Speedway date will be festival-like with up to 3 other bands. The Black Keys are said to be one of the bands. Stage placement is another issue that might be affecting ticketing but no solid info that it is Indy causing the delay.
July 4th is on a Saturday. This will be a huge event. It could be an all day event. As you said, Black Keys, hell even JCM, Bruce could appear.
Again, it is a perfect setup for a different, but festival and special event. However, I'd rather pay more and see them in an arena.

well the Pfister Hotel just raised the cost of my reservation by 13%, so I guess they are starting to believe the Milwaukee show might actually happen.

I have a room booked at the Pfister also. I have never heard of a hotel adjusting a rate that was previously confirmed. Or is the poster just saying rates have gone up 13% since the last time he/she checked?

I can't wait for the tour, I have seen so many great Stones shows and I feel so blessed to have been there many times. I am new to the board. Hi everyone, my name is Ron. Have the most pleasant day and I hope to see some of you in Los Angeles and maybe San Diego or the Bay Area
Welcome to the IORR board, Ron. Where are you from?

Hey everyone! I'm new to the board. I've been a Stones fan since I first heard Tattoo You way back when. I'm pretty excited about the upcoming tour, and it's good to know my summer concert budget will be spent on a very worthwhile cause. I haven't actually seen the boys since the Voodoo Lounge tour at the Meadowlands, but I'm ready to make amends for my lack of live shows since then (work, work, work, school, work, and raising a family). Time to live a little. It's great to be amongst all of you.

how do they raise the price of your reservation? does it say if you don't purchase a non-refundable room that they can raise as they wish?
A reservation does not guarentee anything, not even a room, let alone the price. If you PAY for the room, then the price is locked, but the chance of your room being double booked is still not unheard of for various reasons...

Ok this tour, sorry to be negative but the Stones better get some Good guests! BB King would be good, or so many more young and old real players are needed here. If I hear of Katy perry or some other celebrity pop porn star actor who pretends to be a singer get anywhere near a stones stage, I will puke.
Keith I am talking to you. You need to tell Mick to get straight with the good guests this time around.
Thank you Kindly
