For special event weekends (i.e. lollapalooza), hotel rates have increased event rates. Does it matter when you book then because the rate fluctuates or does it stay the same all year?

If you use points it should stay the same. I booked the Renaissance at state/wacker for lollapalooza and it was still 40k/night since it’s a category 8

No points since I’ve only been on local 😑 so does it stay the same or fluctuate if I’m not using points?

You should have used “e.g.” which means for example, not “i.e.” which means that is.

Grammar nazis stay the same all year - not to worry

If $ then hotels will definitely be more expensive during lolla. It brings in more people than any other event

E1 yeah I’m aware. Hotels usually know that an event like that is happening a year in advance. They even have listed “advanced special rate” for the weekend. I was just wondering though if that special increased adjusted rate changes at all between booking like a year ahead vs. 2 weeks ahead

Hey OP, it really depends. I had situations where both occurred. One time it decreased a week before and vice versa. It really depends on occupancy rate and for lollapalooza case, it’s definitely a better bet to book in advance if you’re trying to stay at the nicer hotels

Hm okay. I’m already booked for lolla this year but just thinking ahead for booking for next year hahaha. Just want to know if I should book in September or can wait til like 2019.

Hello Fishes,

I have got my L2 Dependent Visa stamped for the US through the Wife's organization and she has booked the tickets for the both of us in the next weekend. I am currently unallocated in TCS and seeking projects in the same US location as my Wife. Can I travel to the US just like that and then continue my search within TCS from there or do I need any approvals to even fly in the first place?

I am worried because of the time crunch and will be glad to hear some points on this.
