those are the on-site hotels.  once they're gone, they'll be selling off-site hotels - here's an e-mail I received from the organizers:

 Hello ATP!  I have a quick question about the ATP NY festival, specifically your quote from the FAQ: "More tickets will be on-sale shortly after with accommodations in a nearby hotel. Shuttle buses will run between the second hotel and Kutshers."  I'd like to stay off-site at this nearby hotel.  Do you have any idea how long after the initial on-site offering is sold out, that the second off-site accommodations will be available?  Are we talking minutes, or hours?

reply:
   

more like days.... or longer!
 

so despair not, teepo.  there will be more tickets for sale at some point.  keep checking the site or download a website monitor that will check it automatically for you.  
 
 as noted above, there are cleaner and cheaper hotel options in montecello.  they'll have a shuttle between their offsite hotel and the venue, i'm hoping to catch that.  otherwise, it's 3.5 miles from town to the venue, a quick drive.

3-day Event Only tix now sold out.

[Got Haggis?]

ah thats not bad at all.  still debating on if i am going to buy tickets to this or not...so tempting, huge mbv fan.  but tres tres $$ , not to mention needing to take a day off of work
 
 well guess not now that its sold out.  also, i thought tix were $225..but now I see a pound symbol in front of the price....fuck that.

Line up has good bands, but they're all a little slow.  IMO, Low and Tortoise are great to listen to at home, but live it's a ZZZFest.

Sweetcell said they were $237 with fees.
 
 However, I just noticed this from the ATP site:
 
 Please note that prices, (though they appear in USD), will be processed in GBP, so there may be a very slight fluctuation in final price due to exchange rate differences, though we are doing out utmost to minimise this.

[azaghal1981]

So they'll convert the $237 into pounds.
 
 That's all that means.

 tickets are definitely $237 each, dollars not pounds.  a few minutes after i placed my order, i got a call from my CC company asking me to confirm a $711.00 purchase from a UK ticketing company ($237 X 3).

[jd930]

Yup, just pointing out that the exchange rate will be involved.

[teepo]

buying the room for 6 is very tempting. anyone interested in sharing accommodations?

[azaghal1981]

Read my link above before you do that.
 
 
 You're welcome.  

[teepo]

i wish i did read that earlier. i had a chance to buy single day tickets but slept on it since i was scared of not finding accommodation else where! FUCK!
 
 i'll camp, sleep on dirt, sleep in a car (all which i've done for festivals) but fuck sleeping in room which is mole infested.

[sweetcell]

teepo, do you read previous posts?
 
 no need to sleep in the dirt, unless that's your thing.  plenty of cheap hotels in monticello, and there will be a shuttle bus from town to the venue.  see my post immediately after azaghal's one with the link.
 
 and i believe the complains were about mold, not moles  

[azaghal1981]

Although a real-life version of whack-a-mole sounds like a fucking blast.
