Though if you're jealous you can relish the fact my group and I couldn't get the 4 day passes as they were sold out before we got them. So we had to get single day tix. Sob....

I'd already decided that I'd rather pay full price at the Marriot than save a couple hundred bucks somewhere far out and take a shuttle. Just my preference. I'm curious what happens to the people who already bought their passes but couldn't get a room. Stay far out I guess.

We didn't get into the fray this year...decided to commute. A friend got into the waiting room page with no trouble, and got all the way to actually booking the hotel she wanted, when the site hung on her. :P Her backup is okay, so she's not too frustrated, but the fact is, the system really doesn't work!
