My flight's booked, but I'm curious as to any developments on the hotel front. Any news? I think they're still looking into that, though some of the group rates they were being quotes were still not as good as what people were finding on their own.

I forgot to ask: Which nights were the organizers specifically trying to get bargains for? Was it only the Sat. night? And spammers can fuc k right the fuc k off.

There's still a few balls in the air, but because they're not booking in blocks they may not be able to secure better rates than you might get on your own. As January 12th is coming up fast, your best bet might be booking a room now, then keeping your eyes peeled for something else as it gets closer. Most hotels allow you to cancel your initial reservation as long as you do it 24 hours before you were due to arrive.

I'm going to post this as an update in a new thread, as well.
I have contacted about a dozen hotels in the general area. Most wanted me to reserve a block anywhere from 6-10 rooms before any kind of special rate would be given. A few offered a basic rack-rate, but I would turn around and do a search online and find a better rate at the same hotel - f___youverymuch.
People, I am so tired of asking for things and not getting them. I am ready to go on a spree. If you see me in handcuffs on the evening news, know that I did it for the cause.
It would seem that Duran Duran actually carries very little clout. Imagine that?!
