Well, for some 10 mile Hotels, it's worth it. Cuz not only it maybe Cheaper, but also with Internet Access, Free breakfast, etc!

What a pain to buy 2 pass's. I'll wait for a few months and maybe they will make it easier. We already have a room at the embassy suites accross the way reserved for 5 days so no rush.

It doesn't seem like that big of a pain to me. It's a big enough pain to discourage possible scalpers from running rampant, but shouldn't be bad enough to discourage any family that wants to go.

just registered.
It was really easy.
I wonder why GenCon did not expect a multitude of hits on opening day?

Oh yeah, like 26,000 people I think...
Well Can it double this time?
26,000-52,000 people?
33 Hotels within 2 miles
50 hotels within 5 miles
148 Hotels within 10 miles
246 Hotels Within 20 Miles
...
788-1576 people per average Hotel is impossible (2 miles)
520-1040 people per average Hotel is also not possible (5 miles)
176-351 people per average Hotel is Real possible depends on how many people going. (10 Miles)
106-211 people per average Hotel is Definately possible! (20 Miles)

Ya know, all of this could have been avoided for FanForce members had the proposal I sent to GenCon and LFL back in June been seriously considered...
I call Mary Franklin at least three times and had to leave messages each time, with NEVER a call back. Many e-mails were sent to both her and GenCon. GenCon kept telling me to try back in a few weeks, then a week and so on. I was railroaded...or should I say Fanforce was railroaded. With all of the follies of CII and ShopStarWars.com the problems of yesterday could and should have been avoided.
I won't go into anymore details of the proposal since it's a moot point now. I'm just glad this whole ordeal of buying tickets and reserving a room is over for me.
Good Luck to those who still need to register, get tickets and reserve rooms.
Let's have a big FF party at CIII!

I'm really ticked that they won't ship the badges to Canada. Really...how much extra would postage be compared to the time I am going to have to wait in the WillCall line to pick them up. I really hope we don't have to wait in the WC line, get the badge, then go get in the CIII line b/c that would take all day. The lineup at CII was around the building. So far, I am not impressed with GenCon.

That would be helpful. Maybe you can pass that on to the PTB at GenCon. Sometimes it is very hard to be a fan in Canada! I am especially tired of paying FedEx fees for delivering SWShop stuff.
