The 'Hotels For Chicago' Discussion Thread

[Neil]

I just picked up a great deal for the 'Central Loop Hotel' from 5th June thru 8th June, $62 a night plus tax. This was through ORBITZ, other sites were offering the same deal for up to $99 a night. They had posted this price as a limited offer so be quick.

I thought it might be an idea for people finding deals for the BIG weekend of USA vs Wales to post them on here as there is such a big variation in prices from company to company and I know that trawling through them all can be very time consuming.

[The Chicago Tafia Welsh Society]

Wales v USA

The Wales v USA Rugby is only 5 weeks away! Have you got your tickets yet?

Booking tickets:

Try to get tickets in section 125, 126 or 127 if you can. The majority of the Tafia will be seated in those areas.

Tickets range from $20 for the cheap seats to $150 for VIP seats. $30 seats are decent and more than adequate. Tickets can be booked at: www.ticketmaster.com/artist/1296589?tm_link=edp_Artist_Name

Getting to the game:

Getting to Toyota Park via public transportation presents some challenges, so we’ve tried to do the navigation legwork for you:

Option 1: The Orange Line & The Toyota Park Express:

* Take the CTA Orange Line Train to the Midway CTA stop.

* From the Midway CTA Bus Terminal take the 386 bus to 71 Street & Harlem.

* Toyota Park is located just north of the stop at 7000 S Harlem Avenue.

Option 2: Getting a bus from the Globe Pub:

Better yet, if you are interested in making a day of it, the Globe will be showing the Wales v Azerbaijan World Cup qualifier game at 10am on the 6th, and will be running a bus to and from the park (beer on the bus included) at 12pm for $15. Seating is limited so you have to get your name in early to ensure a seat! Call 773 871 3757 to reserve a spot.
