you mean at the commodore? hmmm, its a pretty nice place, holds about 1000 i think. last time i saw tiesto there they id'ed at the door, so most of the people were 19-30 or so, and no pat-downs. i didn't notice any fucked-up people either, everyone was really cool. i'll have to look into the hotel thing, in the mean-time, check out this site http://www.reservationtoday.com/hot...uver/BC/Canada/ and look for anything downtown. for more info on the commodore, go here http://www.clubvibes.com/listings/l...tail.asp?id=605

Commodore is one of the nicest, if not the nicest venue. Legal capacity is 999, they usually fit about 1100-1200 I think though for shows like Tiesto. The dancefloor is hueg and the club is completely centered around it, so it's perfect for this kind of event. Lighting and whatnot will depend entirely on the promoter, but sound is excellent.

It's in the heart of Downtown, on Granville half a block from Robson, so any hotel in the downtown area will do you perfectly. Not sure about rates, sorry, but make sure you stay away from hotels on Hastings and the eastside of downtown =P

Tons of places to do some pre-drinking before the show, no point listing them all off =P

We should definitely have an organized TA meet at this show since the CA and Van crew will be out in full effect.

Oh yeah, and they ID everyone at the Commodore regardless of appearance or the show. Make sure you have ID, they will turn you away 100% of the time without it. You can get in with fakes in case any of you are underage though, as long as the fake looks decent. I don't think I've ever been pat down there, but I've seen them pat down the odd guy. It's all for weapons though, they don't give a shit about drugs, which is pretty evident by the number of dialated pupils you'll see at shows such as Tiesto there =)

why would I be going anywhere w/ out ID?

Hotels are getting pretty expensive now that it is summer. If you don't have tonnes of cash to spend on a hotel room maybe try a hostel. The run between $15-25 a night.

I work in tourism so I will check out some prices close to the venue.

And I have never been searched at the commodore.

You are looking at over a hundred bux for a hotel in downtown, more depending on how many people. There are some cheaper dumps a little further away from the venue but....

j_spot, that was more of a general comment than something directed at you. Being that the drinking/clubbing age in Alberta is 18, I was just covering all grounds in case some of you were <19.

i'm clear... 19 here

and j-spot is old too
