Just saw this. Super sad news.

According to their website the Doubletree will shuttle within a six mile radius and will happily take you to the 1st Bank Center. However I just spoke to someone there to confirm this would include NYE and they told me they've cancelled their shuttles to 1st Bank because it's outside their radius! WTF?  Their site says they're 5.1 miles from the venue.

I might've just gotten someone who wasn't up on their actual policy and  I'm waiting to hear back from a manager to confirm exactly what their shuttle policy is. I'll post when I get their answer.

Any update on this?

Damnit cancer is such a scary thing. I've been a smoker since 16 and I've already cut back now to only smoking after 6pm . It's at least something. Anytime i hear about cancer ravaging someone awesome it's hard to hear.  My dad had and beat cancer as well. His father had terminal cancer.  Everyone take care of themselves and each other.  Scary fucked up world guys.

Yes but didn't get much more help as it wasn't a manager. Now they're saying the shuttle does go to the venue or anywhere within six miles. ( Google maps says it only 3+ miles away)  Normally they stop running at 9:30 pm and they didn't have an answer for me as to if that's still the case on event nights at 1st Bank Center.

I've stayed at several hotels that have shuttles to concerts and have never had one that will take us there but not come and pick us back up.   

I'm staying there either way and will definitely be following up on this with a manager but so far haven't had one there when I've called. It doesn't seem like the desk really knows what the deal is.

This is very interesting indeed let's hope they will take us back cause I plan on being fucccccked up . PLUS it's been hard to drive even sober after two Jacket shows from the intense pummeling they give us

Sooooo bummed! I hope he fights through it.

I wonder if they'll find a replacement or just do an evening with, maybe add some horns?

I think there will be a replacement I just hope it isn't Fruit Bats or Barr Brothers.

I'm assuming horns are a priority, so maybe Antibalas?  also noting PHJB doesn't have anything on the books (officially anyway)

Antibalas would be awesome. Along that same line of thinking Budos Band would be cool. I think Pres Hall is a strong possibility.

Did anyone get suite tickets?

How and where do you get suite tickets? What all comes with that?

they cost between $3,500 and $4,000 per night for 20-25 people.  Private suite with bathroom and drink/food service.  They are arranged at top of seats and surround the arena.  I'll be on the floor

I can Also put you in touch with my friends who have suite connections for $280 for the 3 nights so you don't have to buy the whole suite.... it really is an awesome way to experience the venue

Any local fans have a spare bedroom to rent out 12/28 - 01/02?  Hotel accommodations during this time are outrageous!

Have checked Airbnb or Boulder? Boulder prices were lower than denver when i booked

Charles has passed. Very bummed. I would love to see MMJ give him a shoot out on NYE.

really sad. RIP.

[Lonndown27]

Charles Bradley RIP ....really messed up, really saddened by this and now im listening to his cover of Black Sabbath's Changes for the first time, reading a great interview from him too. He seems like such a soul man, such a power of human soul.
