We booked a room at the Best Western Inn and Suites on New Bern Avenue. Rates were good, only three miles from venue and they have a pool.

It's a Hyatt Place that's behind the Bahama Breeze.

You may have more success with rates booking the Hilton for Friday and Saturday vs. Friday
I booked 2 rooms for Fri adn Sat.....the first one was last night at $99/night and the second was this morning at $109/night....
I'll check out the Hyatt tonight.... 8)

That Hyatt Place is nice! Big Clean rooms! They have a food counter open 24 hrs for the late night drunk munchies. I'd seek out one of those in future travels.
The Parrot Dice Lounge kinda like a mirage. Here today and gone tomorrow. You should stop by and say hello when visiting Chicago on tour.

When I checked last night it was $99/night, then I tried the AAA rate and it was $89.10/night. They had a lower rate, either $75 or $79, I don't remember, but that had to be prepaid and was nonrefundable.
what I really mean . . . I wish you were here

We have to have brunch on Sunday at Bogarts! The food was awesome and it was a really cool place! They had a live jazz band playing and there are old black and white pics all over and they were playing an old Bogie movie on a big screen! :D

I had the pleasure of meeting Dori last year at Nissan. She was awesome and a big help, as that was my first Buffett concert ever. Been a wild year this past year and I fell out of touch but I'm looking forward to getting back in the phlock.

If I had any sense, I should just put the keets at the Red Roof.....and I tried the military/government rate.....nada....

Group Tickets to Raleigh

Post by palmettoparrots »

I noticed on the LiveNation's Walnut Creek website that they sometimes offer advanced group sales of lawn tickets. I did this once before at Merriweather Post Pavilion in Maryland.

Is anyone living in Raleigh interested in spearheading this for a Buffett News members?

From LiveNations website:
Group Sales
o Groups of 20 or more should contact the venue Box Office at 919-831-6400.
