Hotel rooms are a commodity during this special event on May 14, 2011. It may be necessary to book rooms during this weekend in cities other than Lubbock, TX. This date is one where Lubbock, TX just does not have enough rooms available to accommodate all the visitors coming to visit and celebrate the graduation of their friends and family from Texas Tech University.
Research into the availability of a room shows that there are rooms available in cities like Brownfield, TX and Plainview, TX for Friday, May 13, 2011 and rooms in Lubbock locally almost anywhere on Saturday, May 14, 2011, http://www.expedia.com/Hotels?rfrr=-905&, http://www.orbitz.com/shop/hotelsearch?hotel.rooms%5B2%5D.adlts=1&hotel.chkin=05%2F13%2F11&type=hotel&gcid=C11287x877&hotel.keyword.key=Lubbock%2CTX%2CUS&WT.mc_ev=click&hotel.type=keyword&hotel.rooms%5B1%5D.adlts=1&strf=1&hotel.rooms%5B0%5D.adlts=2&hotel.rms=1&search=Continue&WT.mc_id=o_hw_hot_alt&hotel.chkout=05%2F15%2F11&hotel.rooms%5B3%5D.adlts=1. "The essential to budget travel is to approach in advance. When it comes along to family trips, globetrotting, well-deserved trips and/or going to see new spots we have never been before, the actuality of cost and budgeting is always in the back of our mind. Considering and consuming our travel budget carefully is a main concern for most families. Curbing consuming and fees, while still taking pleasure in your vacation to its fullest, is the key to guaranteed achievements and fiscal responsibility. Your pocketbook and family will thank you! The reasoning behind economizing money while travelling is simple: Even if your personal budget is highly tight, you can still take a break and enjoy life! Simply put, life is just too short to never step out of the door or leaving the homestead! Also keeping in mind that while traveling, regardless of whether on a price range or not, even the smallest of things can all add op to a huge vacation or travel bill!..".
The rates for these rooms are extremely inflated for these dates and looking into and researching the quality of the hotel room is required, but if travel to Lubbock, TX becomes necessary or desired on May 13 & 14, 2011 then there are still options available for a price.
Much like the airline industry, as the hotels or motels in a location fill rates will rise toward a ceiling dependant on the economy of the city and the quality of the hotel. Each hotel has a special set of rates set aside for special events, and they know what dates will require the use of these rates. Some may consider this type of rate hike as price gouging, but in reality it is just the economics of price and demand.
It is the advice of the author, to plan a year advance for a visit to Lubbock during special events such as Texas Tech University football games and graduations. Readers may also be surprised that Texas Tech University dorm openings and move in weekends have the same effect as graduation, so always plan ahead. Looking into and researching when a traveler needs to be in town and into the events going on in the city is always a good idea.
Just because a hotel may be sold out on a particular date on internet sites, does not mean that the hotel is actually sold out. Hotels frequently hold back rooms from Internet sites like hotels.com and expedia.com. Now the branded Internet sites for hotels, for example Best Western or Holiday Inn, generally allow their entire inventory to be sold via the Internet. For those that do not allow their entire inventory to be sold via the Internet, there are still options and contacting the hotel directly may be necessary.
Readers should be advised that if all else fails, ask if the hotel has a waiting list available. Not many hotels do this anymore, but at least ask if they can take a name and number and call you if a room comes available. With any luck, there will be a reservationist or guest service representative with some courtesy, and will be able to help.
The weary traveler may have to travel a little farther during Texas Tech Graduation, but there are rooms available within a 45 minute drive to the city. Good luck and good hunting.
