Eastern or Central depending on which office has the responsibility of the sale. I’m still guessing April 17.

I received mine at 2:07pm PT on the Friday before the sale last year.

The first email (always in previous years) comes from Comic-Con, not OnPeak, and AFAIK they only have a San Diego office. I received mine around 2pm Pacific last year as well, 5 days before the sale.

I know CCI isn't the most forthcoming with information, but I do think they realize people need time to be able to make arrangments to be a computer that day and will notify the week before.

Not that it matters coming from me. I can confirm we should hear stuff this week, maybe as early as today. I will preface everything by saying we will not have a week to prepare. Someone mentioned earlier about the emails being a week earlier. This years sale, we will have a few days to prep once the email arrives like usual.

OnPeak runs NYCC hotels, too, so I'm not that surprised.

I go to NYCC, but I don't do hotels, because I live close, however...

I would think using On Peak to get a hotel for NYCC is not as stressful.

For one thing, there's nothing close to the Javits center, so one hotel is just as good as another.

Another thing, it's NYC...

The hotels don't care about NYCC.  You're going to pay the going rate no matter what, because...well it's NYC .   People come into the city at all times of the year for all kinds of reasons.  The hotels have no problem booking rooms for the prices they want.   :) :)

I hope this is true and that it does indeed happen. The anticipation is killing me.

I mean why be considerate of people who work jobs where they have to rearrange things, that's just silly talk.

I just looked and the past two years we were given 5 days notice.  So if they announce it's this week either today or tomorrow then it's definitely not as usual.  Unless it's now a Friday which would also not be as usual.

OnPeak has a history of scheduling things immediately before phone lines/support close for the weekend, I wouldn't be surprised if it the sale was this Friday.

I don't think it will be this week because of the Early Bird Sale accepting changes and additional nights up to April 25th.
I'm thinking Thursday the 18th and then first wave emails going out the 25th.

Things change, and I totally could be wrong. But I'm pretty positive it'll be this week. I have a clue as to when it actually will start as well. But am trying to keep some bit of anonymity ;) Not really sure what I can and cannot say.

I love your theory, mainly because it's better timing for me :)

If it is this week, I am totally fine with that. But if it’s this weekend or next Monday, then I am screwed, since I’ll be in Boston running the marathon. Marathon is Monday morning.

I’m hoping for Thursday or Friday morning.
