Title: SDCC 2019 Hotel Sale Data
Post by: mark on April 10, 2019, 03:01:49 PM
This year we will once again have a form where you can enter in your results from this year's sale/lottery/hotel-mystery-box. I will add a link to the form when it is closer to results time but I wanted to make a post now to ask people to note down what time you were given access to the reservation form. Then later on when you know your results you can enter everything.

Last year we didn't get enough data to do a full summary, in particular we had very few data points from people who were notified in the second round. I'm hoping this year we can get a fuller picture. It is going to be more difficult since Google no longer makes it easy to access your browser cache if you are using Chrome and a lot more people will need to guess, but if we can get enough guesses we can still find some patterns.

If you are using Firefox, here are details on how to check your cache:
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.



For Chrome you can use a 3rd party tool such as the one available at https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/chrome_cache_view.html There is a download link toward the bottom of the page and they also provide a similar tool for IE.

If you go this route here are some details that may help
Sorry but you are not allowed to view spoiler contents.



But please go with what you are comfortable with, the hotel sale is more than stressful enough already. Cache times are much better than estimated ones but what is really important is to get as many observations as we can from people who have different experiences. Like previous years, some results will be good, some bad, some boring and some just plain weird, but please share if you can :) Thanks!


*edited to add more details on Chrome*

Here is the link to the form. It is basically the same as prior years but I have added one question about observed lags in the process.

https://forms.gle/iGexND8kjzHtbPSe9 (https://forms.gle/iGexND8kjzHtbPSe9)

Please let me know if you have any questions. There are some places where you can write whatever you want, so please feel free to share anything odd, surprising, weird, bad, good, etc. Also, nobody reads these besides me so it's a completely safe place to vent

I am having to guess here as I can't locate anything from that cache tool  lol 

4 forms total

1 form was immediate hit I am guess less than 30 seconds
1 form was under a minute
1 form was under 2min or around 2 min
1 form was around 3 min

I closed the rest after that  :)

I forgot to check cause I was so excited. But I got in nearly instantly. My screen cap of the confirmation page shows a time of 9:02:11 so 11 seconds after 9:02. Meaning I probably got in no later than 9:01, probably earlier than that.

SO: 9:02ish - Chrome history on his tablet doesn't show the time  >:( ...hopefully early enough for something on our list downtown. Didn't go for any of the usual "top choices" like Bayfront, MMM, etc.

Me: 9:08 / Chrome / Laptop ... zero hope of downtown


Update April 23: No emails for either of us in waves 1 & 2. Complete shutout.

In at 9:00:42 via chrome.  Direct click through the email.  Confirmed with Cache.  Out by 9:03.   Fingers crossed.

Update:  Got Hard Rock - Studio Double Queen.  Wow!  I marked it as first choice for grins - but never expected to get it.

Thank you [member=4270]mark[/member] for the additional info on the Chrome use.  It helped IMMENSELY and I was able to get you definite times...   I am actually excited for once about this one  lol

FORM 1:   9:00:34     ;D

FORM 2:   9:01:15     :o

FORM 3:   this was on my work laptop which is locked down so I can't use the program or even look at the history.  My best guess is around 2 Min   :-\

FORM 4:   9:02:55        ::)

Updating! 4/16/19

FORM 1:   9:00:34    #1 Choice, Bayfront, received email @ 9:30am,  2 rooms (2 beds, 2 people each room but that will change once reserved). 

Nothing from the others.

All in all wasn't too bad  :)

I got in on my Android phone using the Chrome browser app. I'm guessing around. 9:01. Does anyone know how to get the page time from Chrome on Android? Browsing history shows the page but not the time.

6 DT hotels. No non downtown hotels.
Top choice is Hilton Bayfront.
Title: Re: SDCC 2019 Hotel Sale Data
Post by: hipchick on April 11, 2019, 01:23:45 PM
I had 3 forms:

Form 1 (Safari): in at 9:08 out at 9:12
Form 2 (Chrome): in at 9:08 out at 9:15
Form 3 (Firefox): in at 9:12 out at 9:17

I had a mix of 6 DT hotels for all 3. I ended up changing my preference order when I realized that I wasn't going to get my top choice with a 9:08 entry time. I chose to put me in an upgraded room if they were the only choices available, and to discard my request if none of my 6 were available, and to waitlist me.

I'll update this once I get my results! I'm 100% certain I'm actually not getting any hotels and with me missing the FOCC Hotel Exchange signup by an hour, you can find me at the 3rd tent to the right of the nearest homeless encampment by the train tracks.

UPDATE 4/28: I ended up getting waitlisted for all my forms. But I received a room through an amazing member here so I am taken care of :)

Seems like page times are slower than previous years. Maybe they are letting in smaller batches of people at a time.

I never saw the second "waiting screen:" I immediately was 'in' to the reservation page from the waiting room page I opened around 8:15am.

This was my first time w/the Hotel buying.  I live in San Diego and I've only dealt with the ACE parking "fun" but this year I decided to jump in this year to try and help out others.  The process seemed incredibly easy, which must mean this am I was incredibly lucky.  We'll see what happens next week when the emails go out.  Having never done this before (and not having the pressure of 'OMG I NEED hotel since I'm flying in from out of town') I don't know what the next step(s) will be but so far this process seems pretty chill

Yep, you were really lucky :)

Last year I meet a couple who were at SDCC for the first time and had gotten 4 day+PN badges and the Hilton Bayfront on their first try and were basically, this is easy what's the big deal?

I actually wondered if they slowed it down this year because it seemed like less people were getting in within the first few minutes than I'd heard of in the past. I still don't think it gives me a chance with a 9:08 entry point lol. But last year there were a whole lot of ppl that seemed to get in at the 1 min mark who weren't getting their first choices.

The search string (cci.onpeak.info/addRequest?q=) didn't turn up anything on ChromeCacheView (other than accessing the sample form yesterday), but I screen-captured my session and at least from the computer clock I gained access around 09:11:30.

Got in just a smidge after 9:05. Was working on a laptop running two browsers (chrome and safari), a chromebook (running... chrome) and an iphone.

For the second year in a row, the laptop running safari won. The iphone was in second place, and the separate chromes were miles behind. Speculation, of course, but the ex-scientist in me loves looking at correlated data.

Looking forward to that waitlist email in two weeks.

onPeak removed the queue-id from the URL this year.
Using ChromeCacheView look for a filename that starts with "q=" instead, or addRequest.js would be valid also.

It's fine either way, I will go through all of the posts looking for data. If you do post in the forum and use the form there is a place in the form to enter your forum name so I don't end up double counting.

Thanks for asking!

I mentioned this in the other thread, but some people have taken to using the free text fields of the form to vent a bit. This is an incredibly stressful couple of weeks so please feel welcome to make use of this outlet, it's perfectly safe as I am the only one who reads the entries and I am quite hard to shock, though some of you have come close :)

Does Firefox only allow users to access a day worth of history? I tried yesterday and could only see the history for 4/14. Didn’t notice any field to change the date.

You should be able to ignore the dates listed on the Firefox cache listing page, I'm not sure why they even show those.
Just do a search for the pages you need and see if they are somewhere in the listing.
You get the actual times inside each cache listing.

Does anyone know how to do the cache thing on chrome on an ipad?

I figured out a way but it will only work if you had your chrome activity controls settings already on during the hotel sale, and you’ll need something to work with zip files. I used my Mac. Please keep in mind I’m not a IT person so I’m sure there is a much, much easier, faster way, I’m just sharing what I found.

1) To check if your settings were on, go to your google account-data & personalization-activity controls-web&app activity (should be toggled on) include history on devices (box should be checked).

2) Download your data, deselect everything but browser history.( I mostly use Safari so my file wasn’t very big, maybe this is too much hassle if you have a huge chrome history) here is the link on how to download google data https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/3024190?hl=en

3) Once downloaded/unzipped, open browser history file, it will be JSON format. It’s just text so then I could find “addrequest” and “thanks” entries.

Looks like this:

page_transition": "RELOAD",
            "title": "Comic-Con 2019",
            "url": "https://cci.onpeak.info/addRequest",
            "client_id": "
            "time_usec": 1554998439318709

4) Convert time_usec to a readable timestamp

Thanks to everyone who has shared data! In addition to the posts there are 60 entries in the form so we are off to a good start. I know it's still a long time to go, but please share/update your results if you are notified in group 2 or later on given a waitlist notice. One of the main things we want to do is to get a rough sense of when the cutoffs happened for each group and compare that to previous years.  But I can't estimate the cutoff for group 1 without some good data on the times for round 2, etc.

My results make no sense. I got in at 9:01 and made requests for the top 5 hotels (Bayfront, MMM, MGH, Omni, Hard Rock). 1 room, two occupants. My request came back with... Holiday Inn Point Loma? What??

Ok, now for my nephew. He got in at 9:03 and finished his form well after me. His results? Hotel Republic. Not on his list at all (we had the same list) but how did that request get downtown and mine didn't, with a full two minutes in advance? We had the exact same request!

Were you both in notification group 2? Also, did you both chose the "closest to the convention center" option?

What is going on?

Also my own submission got me in at 9:03, finished at 9:05. I have yet to receive an email.

That is an interesting one, is there any way to confirm what they actually entered in the form?  I do wish that onPeak would send a summary email after the form is submitted.

I wish they did too. Sadly no screenshot of the summary, just the "you entered" confirm that most of us took after submitting.

I have nothing, as a strange result, I can report someone not on the forums who had listed needing rooms from Tues-Monday got 1 night (??) at the Hard rock for Tues-Wed.  And I can confirm this person was def telling the truth about the odd 1 night offer which isn't helpful at all to them? What is going on?

Also my own submission got me in at 9:03, finished at 9:05. I have yet to receive an email.

Would they be willing to fill out the google form? They don't have to enter their name and the form does not collect email addresses or other PII.

There are always a few weird results every year, the one you mention is really weird.

This really does seem odd.  Hopefully we can get enough data together to try and figure out why things like this happen.

Apart from me, I also entered the other 6 people in my group in the hotel sale. Used different info for all course. Out of 7 people I was the only one to get an email. On my form I finished quickly but on theirs it took me more than 3 minutes maybe more. I wonder if that was a factor. Also double randomization is kicking me butt!
