ACEN 2015 Mega-Thread - [Room List Update March 21]

[CaffeinePowered]

but the block is open and all the suites are already gone!

I too called the central office, but I was told the room block is NOT AVAILABLE until TOMORROW that means mumble tonight at 10:45pm CST, assume a midnight EST release. I have no idea how you were able to get a room, also the rooms will show as 'booked' if they are not released yet. It could be not all of the rooms were blocked off.

Forum posts on ACEN's website show that no one has been able to book yet, they have not made facebook or twitter announcements.


Major Call in Times / Battleplan
- 12am EST 9/1
- 12am CST 9/1
- 7am EST 9/2
- 8am EST 9/2
- 9am EST 9/2
- 10am EST 9/2

During the day we will not be able to get on mumble, please use the group me or the forums to post results.

Scratch everything I just said, SUITES ARE AVAILABLE NOW






We are set for this year, CALL IN YOUR ROOMS NOW

[HeK]

All rooms are avail now!
Have mine secured.

Called back in after Caff called me. Central office thought that they couldn't book, but after some insisting they found they could. Got a double, but asked about suite availability. They said there still seems to be some available (although Caff's should be enough imo)

Anyone interested in trying to setup a group badge discount this time?

If we get 10 people in a group, we save $2 per badge. If we get over 20, it's $5 off each.

Problem is that a single person must purchase all the badges at once, and all the badges will be shipped to them.
We have to individually reimburse them.

I'm fine with that, but I recommend that the person doing it should be someone local, in Chicago. cough caffeine

Im ok with that - I already have my badge, but if enough people want in we can do that

[HeK]

I have a group setup. The key is 'getin' and I will add admins as needed.

Got a new double at the con rate, canceled my old full-price one. Booked it for Thursday-Sunday but I'm not sure if I can arrive on Thursday this year so I might have to modify it to Friday-Sunday down the line.

Edit: Also joined the badge group.

[A. Crow]

[Evil Cheese]

Updated OP with join link for the badge group

[kaese]

I got a double for Thu-Sun, looks like the VIP suite is available since they offered me to upgrade at a low price of $300 something per night.

[Live-Free-Or-Pie]

I got a room with a King Bed, because all of the doubles are gone

How does that Group thing work?  Will it all be bought at once?

Yes and shipped to one address to be distributed at con

[HeK]

Which does mean that someone will have to pay up front and get reimbursed individually.
Paypal?
