We ( the wife and I) got a cancelation notice for our room for the MXoN at Redbud. Someone called and canceled then it was rebooked right after. Double check yours don't let this happen to you. Yes we have the conformation number but the cancelation number was emailed to us.
The Shop
Daughter of a friend bought him and his wife tickets to the NASCAR Bristol Tenn Night Race as a retirement gift last year. The problem was that it was for just one night and she bought it thru one of those travel sites ( Expedia or kayak or orher, not sure which). In the parking lot, he overheard someone talking about how all the hotels only booked for three nights on race weekenend, got nervous and called the hotel. Yep, his reservation was canceled and no one had told him or the daughter. He called the daughter and told her to get on it . She booked at a Hampton Inn, two hours north of the track to get an open room. Clearly, for big events, the local/nearby motels do not see the need to split their profit with anybody. Or, the travel sites are not sophisticated enough to program/recognize special conditions. The travel site gave the duaghter the money back, but he would have preferred not to drive two hours after he got out of the parking lot.
So a lesson learned could be, for big events always book direct.
