fryer98 30 Posted February 23, 2012 Author Share Posted February 23, 2012 Has there been any discussion on ticket availability for the draft, or what the whole scenario will be for getting into the building that weekend?When I made this thread, I looked and found nothing. I haven't looked since then. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 That hotel kinda sucked, but it was like $50, and yeah, downtown, and even sorta walking distance to the south side, if you weren't lazy. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Downtown is kinda a ghost town in the evenings, fwiw. Don't count on staying there to get shmammered all the time, you'll probably wanna cab it to Carson St. Link to post Share on other sites
fryer98 30 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I don't know what the price comparisons are, but I would go with the Holiday Inn in the South Side, if it's close. Some bars downtown aren't bad at night, but the South Side is a lot better. It's also just as close, if not closer, to CEC.It's not a big deal either way, we'll make shit happen!

fryer98 30 Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 I looked for ticketing information but couldn't find anything yet. I'm going to lunch with a few guys that have season tickets so I'm going to ask if they've heard anything about first dibs. I might not be back on FCP until Monday though so this is my reminder.

The only thing I was able to find as far as an official release said that ticket information will be available at a later date. Link to post Share on other sites

ajs510 122 Posted May 17, 2012 Share Posted May 17, 2012 Just heard back from my realtor...my purchase offer on the house has been approved by the seller's bank (short-sale) and I'm looking at closing right around June 28th. Which is great news, except it means this trip unfortunately isn't going to be happening for me this year...there will be too much packing and moving and signing and money getting thrown around for me to go out of town.Sorry Tim! I know I said I was a definite but the timing is not going to work for me. Link to post Share on other sites

I've only been waiting a week though so far.How long did the bank make you wait? Link to post Share on other sites

I've only been waiting a week though so far.How long did the bank make you wait?Thanks!Almost a full six weeks...my purchase contract was signed by the seller on April 6th and it took until today for their bank to come back and say "yeah, okay". Hang in there...it's a long process. Link to post Share on other sites

Hang in there...it's a long process.Will do. Thankfully I'm in no rush or else I would have never pursued this place. As it stands now we have a deal for 20k less than the Zestimate. (if you have been looking at houses enough you'll likely know what that is)Hopefully the bank doesn't think it's too low of an offer though. Next week I'm filling out a mortgage app in order to lock in the interest rate, It's a bit of a gamble as the app is only good for 60 days and there's a pretty substantial fee that I could lose if the bank rejects the offer. Still the bigger gamble would be to assume the interest rate won't go up between now and the time that bank approves the deal. (hopefully) Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 What fee are you paying? A bank/broker should be willing to do an application and hold a rate for you (often only for 30 days) with no fee. Is this an American thing?Congrats to Adam and good luck to Dev! Link to post Share on other sites

Still the bigger gamble would be to assume the interest rate won't go up between now and the time that bank approves the deal. (hopefully)Yeah, same. Almost exactly 20k under the Zestimate. Almost 60k under the asking price when the seller's listed the house three years ago...although I think they were insane to think they could get that much and I doubt it even got a nibble at that price. I haven't done the mortgage application yet because I didn't want to pay the $500 application fee until I had a house to buy, so I don't know what my rate is going to be quite yet. It's all about what you think interest rates are going to do...I think they've actually gone down a bit since my last meeting with the bank so my gamble of not locking in a rate worked out for me. The bank will prequalify you without a formal application which is all you need to show for purchase offers. Link to post Share on other sites
