I booked August 19 and June 17 for GW. Also Chesney is playing Gillette Stadium August 26. The only open Saturday at Fenway is August 12. James Taylor plays the night before at Fenway.

Just made reservations at the Comfort Inn for the weekend of 6/17 and 8/19. I can't believe how much these hotels are squeezing us for.

I am really praying get for a June date. Aug is cramping my schedule

I wonder when these hotels will catch on , and actually take deposits, and charge peoples cards for held reservations. Of course when you cancel , you get it back. But , you would think they would try and profit off of it somehow.

Could he possibly show up, and do a song with JT , then the next night if Jimmy Plays Fenway , JT shows up and does a couple of songs with Jimmy. Just a thought.

If I remember correctly it was last year that the RR Inn finally figured us out and raised their rates from the prior $99 to almost double. :-?

I'm talking about booking multiple weekends , that they haven't caught onto that. Rates probably raising because of shows at both GW and Gillette , I wonder what the rates are, the week before ,and after your held dates.

When I saw Garth Brooks at the North Charleston Coliseum last year, I stayed at the same hotel as when I saw Grace Potter 3 months earlier. It was about $50/night more expensive for Garth. I'm staying there again next month when I see Miranda Lambert. It's even more expensive than when Garth was there.

June 9 through 12 is 150.00 , as is July 14 - 16 .... week before the Aug 19th date was also 180.00 , what was funny the 1st weekend of Aug was 182.00. ..... to put these prices in perspective , I stayed at The Margaritaville Resort in Hollywood for 179.00 , that was in November. RRI is no Margaritaville Resort. Unless the continental Breakfast is worth 100.00.

Cross off Saturday 7/22/2017 from the list! Sam Hunt, Maren Morris & Chris Janson announced today. (I have never heard of any of these people)

Open Saturday dates are now: June 17, July 1, 8, 29, August 19, 26.

June 10th is also open but that seems to be the Frisco, TX date which would almost certainly eliminate June 17. It's unlikely a tour leg would include Frisco, TX and Great Woods, MA back to back Saturdays. Also unlikely he'd play July 1 or 8 due to the closeness of July 4th.

If he plays at Great Woods this summer and it is a Saturday it seems like it would be one of these three dates. July 29, August 19, or 26th.

Sam Hunt was at the Carolina Country Music Festival here in Myrtle Beach 2 years ago. He blows donkey parts.

I wouldn't cross off Aug 12th at Fenway. I doubt the 26th, considering Chesney is at Gillette for 2 shows.

August 12 at Fenway is another possible with James Taylor playing the night before the field will already be concert ready. Unless James Taylor adds a second show. I just don't know if Buffett could sell 38K seats that Fenway has for concerts. He struggles as it is to sell the 19,900 at Great Woods and that has the tailgating benefit.
