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.

I believe you only go on the waitlist if you book the hotel they offered you today. Can anyone else confirm?

Got my email for Best Western PLUS in Old Town. Luckily, my friend got our first choice last week. Crazy to see the difference of about 30 seconds. Would there be any interest, or should I just let it go?

I would list it just in case. Best case scenario, someone who may be interested gets it. Worst case scenario, nobody takes it and nobody misses out.

The BW Plus would honestly be my top choice for a non-DT hotel. As Mark said, trolley access is very easy and there are many restaurants in the area. It's closer to downtown than MV, more pleasant to walk around, and not nearly as much of a cluster.

did you verify the access time in your browser cache? or was that off your computers clock?

Off my computer clock...unfortunately I don't know how to get the cache timestamp. My lil man entered at 60% green and I had time to switch my mouse from one laptop to the other, and still stared at him a bit before he got in

Really? Omni was in our top 6 and our 9:01 submission didn't get it. There's definitely something screwy with the allocation process. *shocker*

I only requested a single person/single bed in hopes it would be easier to get than double beds. We only need one bed anyway so dunno if that played a part.

It very well could have done. That would make sense.

Last year, (realizing that those may be the most dangerous words of all with the hotel lottery,) we did not take the hotel we were offered but we did stay on the waitlist.

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?

This is a good question, since the separate lists are new this year. Does anyone know what happened before if you accepted a hotel you had listed, was there still the possibility of using the waitlist to get something higher on your list?

I am not sure how lax they are, but in the past, we have been told that if you do not take a room offered to you, you will NOT stay on the waitlist. If you take what they offer you you, though, there is a chance you can still be upgraded to one of your original top 6.

So, all emails are done for today?
If stupidity got us in this mess, then why can't it get us out?

Wow looking at the responses today I must count my blessings I was able to get 2 rooms at the Hard Rock.  Best of luck to those on the waitlist!

I would assume if you don't get an email today that you would be waitlisted....of course you know what they say about assuming... :P

I'm assuming that hotels that aren't taken in this round will go to some of the May 15th people.  It's even possible some of them will get downtown if anyone returns downtown hotels.  So, I don't think everyone who doesn't hear today is waitlisted.

Hoping for this as well.....
Was fortunate to get a hotel assignment the last two years. Still nothing this year, so it looks like this will be my first time dealing with the waitlist and/or exchange.

I was able to get the Hard Rock from the waitlist last year- so there is still hope :)
