Liana Posted June 24, 2010 Report Posted June 24, 2010 I got Paul McCartney tickets for 7/24! The concert is in the Sprint Center which falls in the Downtown zone. I would like to get one of the downtown hotels but only one is showing up on Hotwire. I tried bidding $50 on Priceline - nothing. I use Hotwire a lot but not Priceline. Could you suggest a strategy for bidding on Priceline. I have one month to make this happen. I will be driving in from the south. I would like to keep the price under 100, but I would also like 3.5 stars if possible. Thanks for suggestions.

Liana Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 I'm still working on this. Not having success yet, but I understand what to do. I am going to have to have to raise my target price or go for a different zone. While I continue work on that could you guess at this Hotwire hotel?

Liana Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Posted June 25, 2010 I just won Sheraton Overland Park on Priceline for $60 for 7/24/10. Not my desired location but a good price on what appears to be a very busy night. On Priceline I got to the point where they asked me to offer $125 for the downtown or park plaza zones for 3.5 stars. I didn't want to go that high. Still curious to know what the hotwire 4* in overland park was for 79$, if you get a chance. This is how Priceline lists the amenities for the 3.5* Sheraton Overland Park:Remote Control TV with Premium Channels Telephone with Voicemail Radio Alarm Clock Iron and Ironing Board Hairdryer Business Services 24 Hour Front Desk Full Service Restaurant Room Service
