Maybe it's the dates.  I tried just now using 9/14-9/16 and am getting a $179/night rate.

I got the same with those dates. It's when I expanded out to 9/12-9/16 it went to the higher rate. Currently have the Hampton Inn in the theatre district so I'm still set but may call later to see what the deal is with the conflicting rates for the Palmer. Thanks for the info.

I know it may be a hassle, but you could split hotels.  The Majestic Hampton (which is one I've stayed at before) is just a few blocks away from the Palmer on Monroe.

Yeah, thought of that but that decision's above my pay grade .... may look into it, though.

Will be there 9/12 - 9/16.  Flying United in to O’Hare on the 12th and staying at the Fairfield Inn/Downtown.  Very much looking forward to this roadie.  Go Bulls!

Jchem and I are also thinking of making the Houston roadie.

Flight booked.  $250 round trip thru SW, not too bad.  Leaving Tampa at 7:15 AM on Thursday and returning around Midnight on Sunday.  Friday planning on going to the Cubs game.  For those going, lets meet up for some cocktails.  Maybe Thursday night?  or Friday night?  Somewhere in downtown?  I'm up for anything, should be a fun trip!

 

Go Bulls!

Big convention in town that ends on Thursday. May be the reason for rates.

Okay all set to be at this game with family and friends including alums living in Chicago and Michigan..  Did a little digging and called Illini ticket office.  Was told the USF allocation would be in sections 101-105.  I see that section 103 is now on sale to the general public on ticketmaster so I'm hoping our tickets will be pulled from sections 104 and 105.  

GO BULLS!  STAMPEDE CHICAGO!

I'm staying at the Palmer House this week and the Hampton is almost across the street.  By the way, 'Hamilton' is playing at the theater next to the Hampton (Majestic).

I'm going to try to tack on an extra day and come back Monday.

Was thinking about maybe checking out a play while there but if Chicago Hamilton Broadway prices are at all like NY Hamilton prices, I'm not taking out a second mortgage to see a play ...... plus, I guess I'm not refined enough because I just don't get the Hamilton Mania to begin with.

Edit: Did just check one site and the prices for Hamilton there seem fairly reasonable, relatively speaking.. Any idea the best site to go to for shows there?

I got great side orchestra seats for Hamilton in Chicago on ticketmaster for $195 each plus crazy fees so around $225 each.  Comparable seats in NY are $600.
