unable to book a hotel room?
Cheetah:
Okay, just got the update from the Estrel. All rooms are gone, and the waiting list is already so long it does not make any sense to add more people to it, as they do not expect so many rooms ever becoming available through cancellations.
Time to check your overflow options.

How on Earth though... with 2100 attendees for <2250 beds ???

Surprising all rooms went that fast :o truly a testament to the growth of Eurofurence, though. Anyone happen to know if Super Early arrival is also fully booked? Or is it only the period Early arrival - Late departure that's full?
As for rooms disappearing so fast, have a feeling it's people booked in single rooms.

Very probable, as people wish to ensure an accommodation for themselves.
It would be interesting to get more precise data over the amount of registrations / time. Because this was totally surprising issue since the rooms did not end so fast last year.

More than anything, I'd like to just get my number in the waiting-list, and if possible, how many rooms were opened up last year. If I'm nr 400 on the list, I'm not even gonna wait, and just book somewhere else right now. If I'm nr 4 on the list, I'm gonna wait. However, with no information at all, I can't make an informed choice.
As for the future, perhaps prioritize 2+ reservations over single rooms? I know that for The Gathering (computer-LAN-event thing) you have to first register a user then link together users into a group before you can even buy tickets. I don't know if this could be interesting or even useful for EF, but perhaps that would lighten the load on everyone?
