Re: Official Dave and Tim Oakland 2015 Thread

Gotcha! Thanks. I've been on Flyer Talk before, too. Got into it this past summer after a friend gave me the low down on how to score lots of airline miles through credit cards. Now I have like 200K miles! Not that I have any clue about where I want to go haha.

    It's pretty resourceful. Lots of good tips and expert advice on how to maximize hotel rewards, airline miles, credit card deals, etc. I travel several times of year and fortunately a lot of is free or cheap. Like this site there are tons of abbreviations to learn


    The slickdeals forum used to be pretty good too

    I need to check that out. I really want to start doing something to earn airline miles/hotel points. Travel is so damn expensive! The wife and I only have one credit card between us. Need to get a miles card and start using it.

    That's awesome - do you basically just charge everything to the SW card and then pay it off?

    Pretty much. We funnel several of our monthly bills through it, use if for Uber/Lyft, and Amazon. Pay it off in full every month. Points rack up pretty quick that way.

    I have a long email from June with a how-to list of how to rack up miles with specific cards (it changes annually-ish as to which card is best for miles). Sorta like that Gorge how-to Google Doc. If anyone is interested, I'm happy to FWD!

    ^^ what he said. Plus, if you run your own business, you can rack up miles even faster by putting all your expenses on the cards. My 1099 guys that I pay through PayPal I pay with my credit card!

    Love my Chase Sapphire preferred card. 50,000 bonus at sign up and can be transferred 1:1 to a bunch of partners including Southwest and United. I charge everything on that card.

    Same as always, I'm assuming. About 10 days prior to the show.

    Stub hub prices starting to drop. Saturday tickets from $237 -- weren't they close to $300 a few weeks ago?

    As dead as this thread is (over a week of inactivity) I'm thinking these shows are going to have less demand than the NOLA shows, along with Oakland in January being a less desirable trip.

    Unfortunately, I don't think there's much correlation between a bay area thread and ticket prices....The Berkeley thread would go weeks without a post.

    Oakland is actually a pretty cool place (not New Orleans of course), but San Francisco is always a lot of fun!

    I do think tickets on secondary ticket sites will start dropping as we get closer
    to the concerts, and TM will probably have a few ticket drops....Fingers crossed.

    And week/day of those shows, tickets were going for less than face value (if I remember the ticket boards correctly)

    Really, just hoping for a price drop, still looking for a N2 single

    I didn't pay much attention since I wasn't going, but if it did happen for NOLA, then hope the same for Oakland. Was the theater in NOLA the same size as this one? Just curious.

    That was for Berkeley. NOLA tickets weren't popping up for under face, or really at all except for maybe a pair day of.
