We just got a big list that you had to hit control to select 6 of them. It happened to me and my parents too. I went back and resent once I saw you guys had proper forms. There is no validation on form submission, even the confirmation boxes at the end. I can only guess that's a bandwidth saving measure, but it means theres going to be a LOT of forms with improper data.

Ya'll can go back on the website and play around with it. It'll be up for a while. Seems to be just like last year as far as I can tell. edit: Ah, sounds like maybe the congestion jumbled some of your guys' pages.

When my browser wasn't loading I hit stop on it and the form popped up but not fully loaded, so I just got a list of hotels but selecting one didn't add it to my "6 hotels" list. So I had to reload it for the proper form.

I got the broken form at 9:00, called Travel planners at like 9:25 and they were like "sucks to be you, haha, man that's gonna suck, we're gonna get so many calls, oh well, I can maybe book you for stuff out in mission valley, let me go ahead and write that down, heh, sure thing, I'll take your info i'm totally sure we can get you a hotel, heh. okay yeah don't call back we got everything we need." Pretty unhappy with that. edit: Called back and the first guy on the phone was like "oh yeah the form bug? yeah, we got your submission, it was just un-ordered, so when you get the email with all your choices, just reply to it with your ordered list and we'll figure it out on our end. you're good."

Question for the trade pros. When do you usually know what booth number you will have? A bookseller buddy of mine has graciously offered to have some copies of one of my books at his booth. I'm going to be handing out postcards and would like to say "Get your copy now at Awesome Bookseller, Booth 1234!"

So, I now have 2 separate receipts (different reg codes) with my top 6 downtown hotels. Maybe I'll get 2 different hotels? Who knows! Either way I'll be turning one back in to the pool. Surprised this worked out so well.

Axel Serenity posted:Did you submit twice? Did you have a "bad" form and was asked to refill your selections via email? I had the bad form, but submitted anyways with all downtown hotels. I called in, per twitter instructions, and they took down a separate order for me that was all mission valley / old town hotels. I then got the email saying "hey your form was f'd up, please order these" and it was the downtown hotels that I originally asked for. Then today I get 2 separate registrations with both the exact same hotels. Both have the same name/address/everything so I can't imagine it will really work out, but I also don't need 2 hotel rooms so I'll be turning one back in after I lock in one.

Zeitgueist posted:Got a receipt for my request but no confirmation, usually by now I'd have a confirm. Booking confirmations are never this quick. Usually you get a receipt day of (usually about 1-2 PM PDT) but with the hosed form this year, I think they held off on request receipts until the deadline for that (which was 2 PM PDT today). After that point, they sent out the request receipts. Tomorrow we'll probably get booking confirms or letters of regret but they may push into Friday, again because of the colossal fuckup of yesterday.

What happens with all the cancellations from multiple people in one party trying for hotels? Is there a second run of them a few months later? I've never needed one last minute so I don't know how that scramble works.

I've never needed one last minute so I don't know how that scramble works. You check the hotel planners site every day and they have cancelations. Or you book in like hotel circle, which while not ideal, can be both cheaper and easier to deal with since the shuttle now runs 24 hours. Barring wanting to do that, you can also book some where not listed (or not on the shuttle route) and drive in, either a) entering the parking lottery with the terrible ace parking or b) parking at the marriott adjacent and "losing" your ticket when you pull out (this is somewhere in line w/$40/day but puts you next door for parking).

Just curious, where does that leave people who actually do get to stay at the Marriott? Like, is there a chance that someone staying there may not actually get to park there, or do they save enough spaces for all confirmed guests?

Downtown hotels open up on the consolation site a few times every year as well if you check it regularly. You typically don't have to worry too much about hotels, except if you want to stay at the Marriott or the Hilton or something.

I screwed the pooch by actually doing work at work on Tuesday and, well, I'm SOL with hotels now.

I finished at 9:02 (with the other issues spoken about here) and just got the "no hotels for you" email. I picked 6 downtown hotels and checked that if they're not available, book me into any available hotel. quote:Dear Comic-Con Guest,
