und_hky Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 We will be going from Grand Forks and staying in the cities Friday. Where is everybody staying in Madison? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I have stayed at this Sheraton in downtown Madison in the past for $45 on Priceline. It's walking/stumbling distance to the Kohl center, and right on a bike path that will take you all around the downtown/campus area (hopefully the snow will be melted by then). They are sold out Friday night, but have availability Sat and Sunday ($149/$169). There are a few other hotels downtown also that participate with Priceline. This one and this one also. Let me know if you need any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better be nice Bob, or we're coming to find you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It better be nice Bob, or we're coming to find you. If you are going to pay full rate, then I'd go with the Concourse. It's closer(Sheraton might be a mile or so) from the KC. I'll do some more research later after the kids go to bed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I'm hoping to get a couple of cars full of people to go.... If I succeed (which hopefully I can) we will be staying at the Best Western right across from the Capitol building, which is where we stayed for the Sioux/Badger series, it's really nice!

undhockey Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 How is the parking at the Kohl Center? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GBpakrzz Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 How is the parking at the Kohl Center? Absolutely horrible. It's right downtown and most people park in the ramps if they can find space. There's not enough room for everybody in the ramps though. You may have to pay a high rate to park on private property. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just got a room at the Radisson in Downtown for $59 a night on priceline. It is Canyon drive. About 6 miles from the Kohl center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I just got a room at the Radisson in Downtown for $59 a night on priceline. It is Canyon drive. About 6 miles from the Kohl center I think this is in the Madison west zone. If you add zones that also have 3* hotels, you risk getting something outside the downtown zone, as well as overbidding. This is a nice area, shopping nearby, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Yeah_Yeah Posted March 23, 2008 Share Posted March 23, 2008 I am going to Madison got tickets, got hotel. Go Sioux! How much were tickets? I can't seem to find that info! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

focker Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Is it possible to just buy 1 ticket or do you have to buy all three? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rochsioux Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Is it possible to just buy 1 ticket or do you have to buy all three? Tickets - http://ev10.evenue.net/cgi-bin/ncommerce3/...er=&appCode= Single day tickets go onsale 3/27 at 08:30 am if tickets remain. The semi-finals are one ticket for both games, no re-entry if you leave between games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in Wisconsin Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Some hotel reviews: Concourse Hilton Sheraton If you want to use Priceline, but not sure how, I'd be happy to help you so that you stay in the area you want. The important thing is if your price is rejected, add a zone with a lower star level than what you are after, but maintain your current star level. Example First Bid Madison Downtown 3* $45 If rejected, rebid adding Madison South (only goes up to 2 1/2*), keep your 3* level, and up the bid to $50 If rejected, add Madison Southwest (only goes up to 2 1/2*),keep 3* level, and increase bid to $55. If you still are rejected, your done unless you drop to a 2 1/2 star, but you have to start over with the DT zone, otherwise you could end up in the SW or S zone. I know it's confusing, and can be a pain in the ass, but it's kinda fun too, almost like gambling! You can only use the same parameters once in a 24 hr period, so if you run out of bids, you have to come back the next day where you left off. If I know I have to have a hotel room a certain night, a lot of times I'll book a room online conventionaly, one that I can cancel later. Then I start bidding, and if I end up getting a room on PL, I just cancel my original reservation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
