There might be some interest. Old Town is a pretty good location for some with the easy trolley access and good restaurants. That's an important point you make about 30 seconds, it is looking like the transitions between a top choice or other, or a downtown hotel versus non-downtown happen really fast. Add that to the fact that a lot of the times people report are approximate, and that even cache based timestamps, while better, may be a bit off from what onpeak is using and, well the signal-to-noise ratio isn't in our favor.

Those are great points about Old Town that I didn't know. I'll definitely ask around before letting it go. It makes me wonder how many people access the form at a time because it seems that the time difference between a top choice DT hotel versus a less popular DT hotel is almost just a few seconds.

I forget every year how much of an emotional roller coaster Comic Con is. You never really know what's going to happen, and just gotta count your blessings.

Does anyone know if you're placed in a non-downtown hotel that was on your list, does that completely knock you off the waitlist for downtown hotels?

But the name and names of occupants cannot be changed online and must be done via the phone.

I did change the names online, and it was simple. FWIW, it is possible that it was easier for me because our reservation is for 2 rooms, but I also changed one of the names on the 1st room too.

onPeak stated they were done with wave 1 on their twitter

I figure they will do the same for wave 2: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

So, I was in at 9:01:57 and submitted only 6 downtown hotels. Didn't get any of my 6. Got The Sofia, which is still downtown, but not as close as I need considering my mom's health issues. Also, they have us in a room with only 1 bed and we have 4 people. 😭

Hoping the exchange will come through with some kind of miracle.

Regarding duplicates....

I did 3 forms and I totally forgot if I used the same email address from form 1 on form 3.... But that would have been the only duplicate info. My addresses, phone number, and names were diff. Only emails were the same.

Got 1st form in immediately. N got offered my top choice MMM last week. Other 2 forms got offers today. None off my top 6 dt choices. But both got first of my mission valley choices.

And my 3rd form DID use my 1st form email. So they offered my 3rd form hotel confirmation today, even tho that same email got offered a form last week, w my first choice dt.

Am I still eligible to get waitlisted if I got a downtown hotel via lottery? I was assigned one outside of my top-6 today, and am wondering if I can be a part of the waitlist if I decide to let this one go.

the Sophia would be a great exchange for someone who wants a space to dump stuff and doesnt mind walking - I stayed there the last three years and it was pretty good, though the rooms are small. Since I was using it for storage and showers, I didnt mind.

you have a pretty good bargaining chip - I hope you are able to find what you need!

Yea, got my email! I got the Manchester Grand Hyatt, never stayed there before and it was further down on my list. But I'm excited, I've heard it's nice.  :D
It is nice--you will like it a lot, I think. I'm back there again after staying there last year.

I will have my fingers crossed for you in the exchange because you do not want four people in the Sofia. I stayed there last year and it is tiny.
