I don't think the codes are unique...my son's link is the same as mine!

I am new to Comic Con. We only wnated to stay for two days. I noticed on the form just sent for hotels that there is no slot for requesting dates. Does that mean the hotel lottery only includes 4 day stays? Thanks.

So I've tested from different IPs and browsers. What I get, no matter if I click on the onpeak link in the email or if I just type in the address, is the site redirecting to this address in full:

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Since I get that exact same result no matter what device or IP I check from, no matter how I get to the onpeak address, that's the result. Same for anybody else?

I ask only because I'm doubting that it's unique links for every person and think it's just going to be like last year, where unique session IDs are generated when you access the waiting room.

Yes, that's the same result as mine. I just DOUBLE-CHECKED.

Missed that. Yeah, I think there's supposed to be a date range on the form.

Also, for another data point, we have not received the hotel sale email. We don't have badges yet through the sale or trade/pro reg so it might be that the emails only went out to people in the system.

There are spots on the sample form to select your arrival and departure dates sort of toward the bottom.

If you have tickets for concurrent dates you enter your arrival and checkouts based on your need.

What was the final word on people getting duplicate reservations canceled? What safeguards can we do while trying to reserve rooms? (In other words should we put random names in the occupant list other than maybe the requester?)

We confirmed with onPeak that duplicate submissions were based on three factors: phone number, e-mail address, or a unique identifier associated with the user’s queue/waiting room session (likely the QueueID at the bottom of the waiting room).

The option to select dates will show up after you select the number of rooms. :)

I'm pumped!

I'm also having horrible flashbacks of me filling out the form last year...which looked exactly like this when I got into the actual form itself...


This is so great on so many levels. This was me during open reg when I got a session.

I tried using someone else's link and mine, the URL is the exact same.  Don't think they're unique -- much like last year.

Calendar links added! Let me know if you have any suggestions for making them tidier.
