Has the hotel sale ever taken place before the Early Bird Sale closes?
When will they tell us the date of the sale? Is it a week before like the badges?
It's fairly short notice, yes, though more notice than badges. A week or two. Maybe 3? It's fairly quick. But by the time it's announced there's so many rumors buzzing around that you kinda expect it.
In both 2017 and 2018, the email announcing the general hotel sale went out 5 days before the sale itself.Not sure if the Toucan Blog or social media confirmed it earlier though?Edit: In 2018 the Toucan Blog announced the sale date 3/27. So... eight whole days notice, if you keep up with the Toucan Blog. Five if you waited for the email.Edit 2: In 2017 the Toucan Blog announced the same day as the email went out, April 21. Five days notice.
I don't have exact dates, but I do recall the hotel lottery taking place before Early Bird had closed... BUT the results of the lottery came out AFTER early bird closed.
It was 2-3 years ago. The early bird sale officially closed before the lottery, and the links were taken down from the SDCC page, but if you had the link saved you could still access the early bird site and book.
I'd love to see live-booking this year but that probably won't happen.

So besides 2013 and 2015, it seems like it's consistently 1-3 weeks after WonderCon. Usually 1-2.Also for some reason the cracked me up. What a Big Mood.
