For those staying at the Hyatt House - Historic District, there is a nice craft beer rooftop bar.

Is that only open to guests or what?

Ooh, not staying there but may head up if I get a chance.

Here are directions. Follow them, get to the arena and follow the signs to parking. It's an arena. It must have parking around it. It's not like it's in Manhattan.

It's in the middle of Charleston. Plenty of parking options.

Well, things may break nicely for me.

Had a work trip to California next week cancelled and replaced with a trip to the Hilton Head area. Work Mon-Thurs and travel home on Friday.

A Thurs 9pm start just became very doable.

Has anyone had any luck scanning the QR codes for their tickets? Just tried to do this and my phone seems to have no idea what to do with it, not seeing a lot of help options on their website

What do you want to do? Put the tickets on your phone?

Yes

 

[gampelcrazies]

Yes

I don’t think you can do that.

I don’t think you can do that.

Oh, I have etickets and printed the pdfs, but on the page they have QR code’s you can scan, which I don’t know a different use for other than loading tickets on to a phone. Figured I’d try to avoid having to carry around a series of pieces of paper

That’s the code they scan to let you in the arena. You can also login to the ticket site and have them scanned there if you don’t want to use paper tickets. I don’t see a way to copy them to say Apple Wallet though.

Can you take a picture of them with your phone’s camera? If the QR code just needs to be scanned to get into the arena, what’s the difference if it’s scanned off a paper ticket or off a picture on the phone? Like when you’re at the airport and you screenshot your boarding pass and then use the camera app to scan before boarding?

I’m not too tech savvy though so not sure about this.

This will work from a technical point of view. However, the venue employee scanning the tickets might not allow it. Either because they are instructed to only take original tickets, or because they've never seen it before and don't know what to do.

I got the following in my email regarding a "VIP Package". Looks like a pretty good deal if you plan on going to all/most of the sessions and don't need to experience Charleston's terrific restaurant selection.

I live down here now. I have to work Thursday and Friday and will have an additional lower bowl ticket for those 2 days.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I got this and didn’t read it carefully. That is a very good deal. Will probably not do it because we will choose to eat elsewhere and have air bnb with full kitchen.

 

[Kembacity]

I am considering doing the VIP deal for one night also, since our game Thursday and hopefully Friday are at 9pm it might make sense to do it, go in at 7 and eat and take advantage of the open bar, and then pass out for our game...

But I am thinking drinks in this stadium aren’t going to be crazy expensive, so the open bar might not be too big a savings, any locals have some first hand knowledge there?
