And this page keeps timing out on me.

kemikal

Same here. The one time it did load for me, Sheraton already had no availability left for Thursday night.

adias.angel

I was able to book mine. MUCH improved experience over last year.

Axon

Yep, can't get in at all. Completely crashed.

bacon_avenger

I was in on the homewood for a brief amount of time, and it wouldn't let me mark Tuesday as the checkout day.

Then it fell over. I'm glad I made reservations with them last year as a fallback plan. I'll have to give them a call and see if they will match the PAX rate

lostsock78

Not seeing Sheraton in the list at all

havok978

I haven't been able to get into the hotel registration at all so far.

Serenity

yep, we killed the website...

BIGmog

Got badges okay but hotel reservation is borked.

kyle1193

call (866) 220-9473 and wait to book over phone

NeuralLink

I called and was able to book two rooms at the Red Lion. Not my first or second choice, but it will do.

Axon

I called the 866 number and booked the hilton. Thanks Kyle.

PocketJelly

Is that the phone number for Onpeak?

Axon

Yes it is. Jump on it. Took me 5 min of waiting and 3 minutes to book.

NeuralLink

Call the number, don't keep trying the website. (866) 220-9473

thedragongem

Got Homewood Suites but only til the 2nd. Hopefully they will get an opening for the 3rd. And I called in.

BIGmog

OnPeak said that the Homewood Suites only contracted single king bed rooms. No doubles available.

Zombicus

For the OnPeak phone number, it asks me to press '3' for PAX East and '4' for Penny Arcade? Which should I choose if I'm trying to book for Prime?

Press 4

Zombicus

Thanks, Kyle. Really hoping my top 3 choices aren't already gone

I was told the same. Very strange. They may not know it's a con, or it could just be sold out for Labor day.

StarYoshi

The site won't load for me. This PAX is turning into a mess of technical issues... Life was easier when I went in 2009.

AltDelete

Looks like just a blank page for now. Will keep refreshing and hoping some hotels are still available.

RidleyDragon

I called in, and I got the Red Lion double beds from 8/29-9/3, tabletop adjacent!

ohkatey

I'm calling... just ringing and ringing. It's funny that they don't even have hold music

crazyice85

just hit 20 min on hold on the phone lol

I've been a long time lurker, and had to create an account specifically to thank you for the Onpeak number, a 15 minute wait and then reservations were easily made. Much better than refreshing the site endlessly.

Hello, I'm Steve, a developer at onPeak. I'm just posting to let you know that you guys were even more enthusiastic than we expected and managed to take us down for a bit. I apologize for the inconvenience and we're currently spinning up some new servers so you all can book hotels.

AltDelete

Thanks for the update! Could you let us know when booking is available?

Rhiley

I'm surprised by how many places did not have Monday night stays available. I booked Wednesday through Monday for the Westin through Onpeak then booked Monday night there through the westin website instead.

On hold with OnPeak now, at least I get some nice hold music to listen to while waiting instead of refreshing in a mad rage.

tardcore

I just got off the phone and the Sheraton is all sold out. Managed to get in at the Grand Hyatt, but they only have 1-bed rooms available.

StarYoshi

Which option do you select on the phone - Is it #4? I got sent to an endless ring

havok978

I guess I was lucky cause I think I must have just grabbed one of the last Sheraton rooms a few minutes ago.

tardcore

Yes, option 4. It rings for a little while but then you will get through to On-Hold music.

BadNews65

15 min hold time so far.

whytookay

Well, this is sort of lame. I got on the phone with them, was all set to book a room, gave them my CC and everything, and then the phone disconnected. So now I"m trying to re-call them. We'll see what happens...

Zombicus

Just booked double occupancy at the Grand Hyatt! For some reason the Sheraton was missing JUST the 29th of August, which I found strange. Now I just need to get my badges, which is looking grim at this point.

Thunderous_T

finally got through on the phone, and the closest 2xdouble beds they had were at the crowne plaza. So glad i got a room and tix. Thanks for posting that phone number!
