What doesn't make sense is that Hartford was less than half full on Friday last year but almost a sellout on Saturday. It's weird they picked Friday this year.

[madpiker]

ok, what hotel am I booking people?

[whodat]

I was instructed to book at the Hilton Hartford. You would be wise to do the same.

You can't walk from East Hartford... I don't think Ben will have a car.

I don't think that's totally true. I talked to a lot of people last year who only went to night 2 because they have work on Friday. I wonder how many people will skip Hartford Friday because the Saturday show is "close". If I had to guess people who would normally make the trip from Mass would skip Friday in Hartford, not request time off from work and have a heck of a good time the next night in Mansfield.

This. Anything in east Hartford is not walkable, just keep that in mind people

[Timebomb07]

I'll probably go Raddison

[LIOG14]

I guess it's a one weekend night cuz I refuse to go to Mansfield and that stupid curfew

Have not had a car for almost 3 years. Looking for places close to the venue and the train station.

[madpiker]

Radisson is a good call too if it's cheaper than the Hilton

[Hilltopper11]

Hoping to check out Hartford this year! New to the region and enjoyed the Mansfield show last year, planning on doing mansfield/hartford this time around.

I assume tickets will be tough to get considering it's only one night?

[Cozmic135]

Ben, you can also walk from the Radisson if the Hilton is more expensive. If so, book Radisson. I'll just be driving back to Mystic after this show since it's a one nighter this year.

I really, really don't like Mansfield.

Going to talk with the wife tonight about the SPAC dates since this stop is only 1 show and a Friday night at that. Would rather spend my pennies where I can get the most bang for the buck.

[artiej1120]

Radisson partyyyyyy

[ajc_1988]

no shartford for me this year

[artiej1120]

I really really hope there's no repeats from Hartford to Mansfield. They should really treat it as a two nighter.

we say that about the Texas shows every year. normally it's not bad. last summer was an exception.

Even when both venues got two nights it was usually not a problem. Just hope it stays that way.

Torn on wether to abandon Hartford (need a hotel) or abandon Mansfield (don't need a hotel) and add a SPAC night or two

If you don't have a SPAC hotel yet you're probably not going to be adding SPAC

[DMBarsenault]

There are still a good amount of rooms in a Best Western 20mins from SPAC for $95......or sleep in the car

It's sold out.

I called them a bit ago. At least that's what they told me. Were they lying?

[DMBstandUP1984]

Booked, hilton, one night I've had the same room 3 out if the 6 years I've done Hartford.

[DMBstandUP1984]

On Expedia the Radisson was only about $15 cheaper. It is a shorter walk but the Hilton has more restaurants/bars around it

I have been to every Hartford show since 2004. I am debating skipping Hartford, going to Mansfield on Saturday and adding both SPAC shows. Really disappointiing

Hartford will be much kinder to your wallet if that's any incentive.
