I don't have any backup reservations. I am willing to continue to up my bid until it gets accepted. The regular prices are outrageous for that night, even with other sites such as Expedia, etc. Someone else had posted that they were accepted for $69 in that area so I figured this would not be much of a hassle. I checked to see if there were any major events going on and nothing really big, other than the London marathon a few days before. Any help is greatly appreciated.
