Anyone do this?

no, but have yoou checked the link today?  i'm going to continue to monitor...

the price came down a little and when i looked earlier, the site said that tix were your choice of GA or PAV, which is very cool.  i'm wondering if the price may come down even more if they aren't selling well.

just my thoughts.

I paid down for one, was happy to see it down to 429

I got a hotel room at the sheriton http://www.sheratoncolumbia.com/

for 120, my 2 tix came out to 104, total 224, so the package would get me 2 posters and a 2/3 hour open bar party for around 200 bucks.

Love these guys but thats a little pricy for 2, 30 dollars posters, and a 140 dollars bar tab for 2.

Also from the merriweather FAQ

Your analysis makes sense, but I would add:

a) shuttle service to and from the hotel.   that's worth something, given it's a fairly long hike, esp if you are tired or drinking

b) if you opted for pavilion seats, the seats you will get in this package are better than if you bought them directly.   If it's the pit, obviously no difference.

But i bet anyone can take the shuttle, no?

The main reason for me going with the package is that my work place wouldn't allow the cookies from Ticketfly and wanted to make sure I had some good Pavillion tix.

I think the hotel offers free shuttle service for all guests who are attending the concert.
