Warehouse Premier Travel Packages.....thoughts?

I've seen DMB at least once for the last 9 years, and I am happy to have the opportunity to make it 10 straight thanks to the festivals. My girlfriend and I are going to make the trip to Chicago, and I am trying to determine the most financially sensible way to make the most of the experience.

I thought the premier travel packages seemed like a good idea, but I am wondering if it is worth the expense. The numbers just don't add up to me when comparing the "with tickets" and "without tickets" prices.

How important is the shuttle service going to be? Will the Caravan Souvenier be legit? Does the room rate include breakfast? Will there be activities hosted by the "event staff on location"?

I'm just interested if anyone else has thoughts on the packages. Do you think its a good deal, or just good marketing?

Thanks.

    My husband and I decided to do the VIP travel package. We figured the money we would save from not having to buy food, beer and taxi/car rental would make the package worth it. Not to mention the hassle of having to book several things. After scouring the forum, it looks like specifics won't be released until next month regarding shuttle info & things like if breakfast is included. Good luck!

    I'm flying in from the UK with 3 friends for the Chicago caravan weekend. We chose the Premier travel package (VIP tixs) for the convenience it provides i.e. Tickets, hotel, shuttle transport, food and drink all covered. However, don't expect a response to any emails sent to Music Today with questions about your booking as in my experience you won't get one! Here's to July and my first trip to a DMB US concert.

    Right on, enjoy the shows! I remember my first trip to Europe to see some bands.1998 I believe. Good times. I am sure you all will have the times of your lives! Peace.

    I would email the Warehouse for any questions specific to the travel packages. I think Music Today is just facilitating the ticket purchasing. Someone around here said they'd be releasing more specific details for the travel packages in May. I have some questions myself ... like when/how often will the shuttles be running?

    Thanks for the suggestion. However, it may have taken 11 days and numerous emails but I eventually got my reply from tix@musictoday.com. As you said now it is a case of sitting back and waiting for the more specfic details about the weekend.
