[OpsMonkey]

So yeah... After spending a lot of time figuring out all the logistics and all that, icanhaz$180tix?  I've missed out on mostly everything else so if there's one event this year I would sacrifice a bit of gov't pay for this would be it.    Whoever's got a spot open on their list I will send the PayPal payment to Friday morning.

Yup.

[limitbreaker02]

Wow, sucks that the floor sections are the same price as the 8 sections immediately surrounding the stage area. I hope we all get floor. I'm gonna assume that the people at Soshified will go with the group purchase/discount but will probably be tied up with the wait at the phone line...unless they immediately purchase a whole floor section or two 

Good luck dinny, T-back, fen!

[shirenuファクトリー]

Good luck with getting great tickets guys!!

I noticed that the ticket sale starts on my birthday so I'll try to send good vibes

[kuno_thunder]

Ok, so IDK if anyone's talked about hotels, but I'm following someone on twitter about the hotels and she mentioned something about Sheraton possibly having a group discount.  I told her that I'd report here whatever it is that I find out from her, so expect some news shortly.  I doubt we'll have enough people ourselves for the group minimum, but if we join up with her group, then we should be ok.  I'll keep y'all posted!

[Kimuuu]

The one on 711 South Hope Street?

[alohellofan]

Is the floor seated or standing? Bah, doesn't matter. It should be fun anyway.

[daigong]

Usually standing, as per tama's review. but man, those floor seats got plenty of stage for glimpses for all, I like it!

Thanks dinbutt and T-Back Good luck guys!! it's gonna be WAR! 

WOO CLAUD!! SAYAH! KIMMMY!! HAHA OPS!! This is gonna be a helluva party. 

shirenu i'll get u some souvenirs <333

damn no drugs! Actually I wonder about the Signs or banners. Odango said getting SNSD Balloons as Thundersticks?

[alohellofan]

Ah, so no Digital Cameras then? Since it records and such.

[Odango]

Yeah, I'm staying at the Sheraton in South Hope Street~ (I have a hunch... hehe) So I may look for a roomie~

[jaysonnj]

Just to hit on a few points,
The floor section is seated.
Digital point & shoot cameras are fine. DSLRs are not. I think Powerhouse stated no cameras with detachable lenses or a lens of more than 3 inchs.

And I too may be looking for a roommate.

[kuno_thunder]

So yeah, its on South Hope.  With her permission, here's Victoria's blog regarding what she's doing regarding the hotels.  If anyone's willing to join her group, you can msg her on twitter, or I can email her with a list, but we've gotta decide fast!  Ticket prices will go up after Friday!!

http://intlv.tumblr.com/post/847822076/sm-live-la-group-hotel-information

EDIT: The biggest piece of information that's affecting my own decision is that she's only booking for the 3rd to the 5th, and I'd want to stay at least from the 2nd to the 6th.  What do you guys think?

[Odango]

Her thing said the minimum stay is 2 nights, so I think more is okay.

I think I may stay the 3rd through the 6th... I technically won't have class on Thursday, so I guess I could come up on the 2nd... I'm willing to go in on the deal if there are others, otherwise I may just book my own room and find someone to room with me later.

[kuno_thunder]

This is what I was referring to, near the bottom of the page.

Q. How many hotel nights do we have to pay for?

A. Two nights (9/3 - 9/5). If you only need a room for 1 night, or 3 nights, please book independently. You can use a flight + hotel package site like Expedia, or book directly at the Sheraton website. They are currently running a special for 2 or more night stays with Friday or Saturday arrivals (http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/search/pre_decider_all.html?propertyID=1598&rateCode=DLY35R&language=en_US&IM=SOP_BOOK_NAD_SI_1598_DLY35R_WEST).

I'm thinking I just might go with expedia.

[0508]

I'm still waiting for a piece of information before I know what hotel I'll be booked at. I'll be down for splitting though, I'll find out tomorrow.
