I got 17 minutes! It's the best of my group.


I think the first reports of "downtown sold out" last year were at the 1:30 mark

51 mins. anyone remember when how long downtown rooms lasted last year?
1 hr - 1.5hr, the pickings were slim.

12 minutes here, Embassy Suites it is!!!

I think they sold out of downtown in 90 minutes last year, but that was with the glitch that allowed a bunch of extra people in in front of everyone so I'm hopeful they'll last a bit longer. I'm at 1:15, so fingers crossed...

I got 3 hours 30 minutes, but my husband got 30 minutes! Just hoping there will still be downtown rooms by then...

Intersting... someone else said 30 minute mark... I'm crossing my fingers...

35 minutes and counting here

Our wait time was 2 minutes 30 seconds. Our first time getting a chance to stay in a connected hotel. Our first choice was sold out for double beds but we got a king. Embassy for us.

Like my last year time (1hr:30min), I got one of the last rooms. It only showed 2 hotels left (JW and my final choice), I want to take the JW, as it showed rooms available, but when checking out, it would clear.
Jeez, this new system. I get it about "fair", but sometimes.....

We have six family memebrs going. We got 20 minutes, 21 minutes, 35 minutes, 2 hours 20 minutes, 3 hours 20 minutes, and 3 hoiurs 48 minutes. All of us were logged on separate systems at noon. We have another 8 people in our group. Not sure how they did.

I'm curious - when did you guys buy your badges on Friday? I bought mine right at noon and I got 3 hours, 40 minutes wait time. I'm curious to see if there's any correlation between how soon one bought badges and how long of a wait time you have.
And yes, I know GenCon's party line that it's totally random, so don't bother bringing it up.

Bought my badge Friday about 6:00pm EST

Nobody in my group of 8 got higher than 2 hours. This happened last year, as well. Love the new system, since after a run of 8 straight years staying in a connected hotel everyone I know now gets fucked.
