I don't get where you are going. There are a finite amount of rooms and clearly many more people want them. Unless you are suggesting that they hold out rooms and dole them out so that some people who get earlier times get worse rooms, then there's not much to be done unless GenCon buys up the minor league stadium next door and levels it to build more hotels.

If there are 72,000 attendees and noon to midnight is 7,200 minutes, then they are probably throttling at 100 attendees/minute and I'm not sure that some of the hotel sites can handle significantly more than that level of throughput. I mean, yeah, I'd like for there to be a better solution, but I don't know that there's an easy one, especially since we are seeing what appears to be a 3-4x increase in demand, year-over-year.

Agrias120 posted:A friend and I are working on a little microsite to help people who needed recommendations during Gen Con. Right now it's just food, but maybe we'll add general Gen Con tips as well. It's nothing special, but if anyone finds it helpful it'll be worth it. My friend is a native of Indy and wanted to write up some alternative/supplemental food suggestions to what he usually reads in this thread, and I figured we might as well go the extra inch and make a site out of it. You can sort by price range, and it's organized into stuff that's walkable and stuff that's a short Uber away. Claddagh is walkable chain Irish, and is perfectly servicable.

I worked GenCon SoCal once. Ask me once I've had a few beers at GenCon this year and I'll tell you about how [a person who is definitely a legally distinct person from me] evacuated the place with fire.

Cherry Hill, NJ and Chester, PA seem like some of the worst possible east coast places to hold a convention, so,  Putting a con within accessible distance to the DC metro area though, would be rad as poo poo right about now, because the whole I-95 corridor is basically a gaming hotspot with unlimited $$$.

Necronomicon posted:I've heard about Shots Wednesday a couple of times but never went to it. Is it just...Goons doing shots? I'm going to be there with three friends, two of which are sort-of-Goons (they haven't read or posted in forever) so I figure we should probably do that. Shots Wednesday is actually a trip to the local outdoor range where we get our Yee Haw on and empty about 5000 rounds into stacks of old boardgames and sourcebooks that didn't sell in last year's auction.

Drowning Rabbit posted:Every PAX is like this, and GenCon is the first time for me that I'm going to a different con (GenCon) that does ticketing. I'm very much looking forward to it. Time spent in line is time not spent at the auction, and what sort of fool would I be to do that?
