Yes, that is exactly the key point.  Really not sure why A) customer service people seem to have a hard time understanding that or B) don't see it as an issue. 

I understand a desire to not allow people to cherry pick key nights, and block people who want to stay for the whole event, but that's EXACTLY what they've done.

Case in point:  If not for GenCon Rules, I could have made Wed-Thur reservations for one of the hotels (several in fact) that I wanted, and I would have had a good chance of extending that into Fri-Sun given the way cancellations work.

BECAUSE of the GenCon restrictions I now have ZERO days booked, and no hope except to happen to snatch up a room totally by chance--at some unspecified later date.  There is no access to a waiting list at all, no "system" at all to assist would be attendees. 

Clearly, GenCon is not interested in helping people in my situation (I suspect there are lots of us) in the slightest, and in fact, their policies are literally hindering me from attending. 

None of it makes sense, unless they are trying to force people into the block hotels on the outskirts, which I suspect is what this policy is all about.  Otherwise it makes no sense to PREVENT people from filling open rooms.

Ok so, for the last time, I have explained to you that the restriction is part of the process by which Gen Con is able to negotaite with hotels to reserve as many rooms as it can in the block in the first place.  Again for the last time, I do understand your issue, and I am telling you that it's the best we can do to get as many rooms in the block as possible.  I'm not going to go into proprietary discussions of how housing block negotations work for you.  

Again, you're not going to get any further here, and I'm sorry you're unhappy, but repeating yourself here is not going to solve anything.  If you haven't, you can contact [email protected], however, there is nothing further we can do for you here, and I consider the matter closed on these forums.
