I have tried to find information about bidding for downtown Indianapolis for August 8, 9, 10 (3 nights), 2013, but no matter what REASONABLE price I put in for Priceline on those dates, nothing gets accepted. I have bidding alerts set up, but they are not listed by date. So unhelpful. Seeing other people's winning bids is helpful, but is a VERY general price. Does anyone have any other strategies for when things like this come up (ie. pricing doesn't seem to fit normal pricing structure for a city neighborhood). I don't want to overbid, but I know there may be several big events going on while I am there, so I imagine it is driving the hotel prices up, or scarcity due to the events of course. I have been listing $70-$75 for 3 star, $75-$80 for 3.5 star and $80-$83 for 4 star, which is significantly above what I have seen commonly in winning bids for downtown Indianapolis. I can't really spend more than that, but have to be there on those days. UGH! Help?
