NHC tickets 2013

[Piratwolf]

I'm wondering if anyone knows what time NHC tickets go on sale. I know it's Feb 5th, but are we talking 12:01am, 9am, noon, or what? And is it Eastern time, Central, etc?

Thanks for any help you can provide!

I think I saw something odd, maybe 2 pm central, but now I can't find it.

Any idea if there are service fees or any other extra costs with the tickets?

So I just tried to book a room at the NHC hotel, only to be told there are no rooms available. Supposedly conference rates opened at 9:00am EST. I hit "Find room" at 9:01am EST.

Is it possible the hotel already sold out? Or do they block out the rooms for this conference and you only get in with an AHA code? Anyone know what the code is?

Help!

Call The 800 number... I waited 5 minutes and got through - their local 215 number was busy! 1-800-228-9290

Thanks!

No link on the AHA site, yet. Guessing they don't want to encourage reservations before tickets are sold? Dunno. Hoping I don't need to call and can reserve online.

Edit : called 877-212-5752 which is group reservation line - fast,easy.

Yea - its a 3rd party system, so whether you call the hotel or central reservations you'll still need to be routed o a 3rd party.

Got our rooms

Rooms are sold out now.

I may also cancel mine and stay with buddies. If so I will post and someone can snag it.

No go. The dates are all blocked out. I booked elsewhere.

 

[brettwasbtd]

wow 2.5 hours and the rooms are blocked out...glad I got one, but scarred I will have to navigate a similar situation in a couple hours to get the ACTUAL conference tickets...which will be online. Praying the bandwidth gods are on my side

cause didn't it sell out in less than 24 hours last year?

 

[ditch]

I would imagine this will go just as fast. Be ready at 3pm Eastern!

 

[TNGabe]

I haven't been this geeked out since I ordered my Citra and Amarillo.

 

[stratslinger]

Man, glad I managed to get my room reservation in first thing this morning! One of the guys in my club somehow found an alternate URL where we could actually reserve the rooms - no idea why AHA didn't just provide that link on the NHC site... Now if only 3 (eastern) will just roll around so I can get my actual registration taken care of, I'll be all set!

I found a cheaper room across the street at Loews Hotel on booking.com

cheaper... not cheap. About $130/night

I managed to get rooms at the Marriott at 12:10 pm EST by reserving only Wed-Fri night. My first try (Wed-Sat) showed "sold out". If someone is desperate for rooms and not staying for the Award Banquet/Dinner on Sat, that may still be an option.

And don't try to include early days either (Sat-Tue before). They were never really available. That may have confused some people earlier. Tue is a bummer for being ready for pre-conf tours.

twiddling my thumbs. This will be my first one and I am going solo. Here goes nothin...



...or maybe I should have spent the cash on some brew stuff...

 

[brettwasbtd]

I have a real bad feeling about 3:00:01pm haha, Just like when concert tix open and everyone floods the system at the same time...oh the anxiety

Was just thinking about that earlier making reservations for 4 nights and now buying two tickets....it's gonna be worth it, though!

The registration page is bogged down pretty bad already...

 

[two_hearted]

whoa their site is ultra sloooooooow. here come masses.

 

[TNGabe]

Anyone get through yet? I can't get registration page to reload.

 

[two_hearted]

I'm in and got my ticket!

[JerseyBrewer]

[nvrlateinz28]

did anyone else get theirs through that secondary link?

 

[Homercidal]

Just got the email and even though I'm not going, or even a current AHA member, I went there just to slow it up for everyone else!! MWUAHAHAHAH!!!!

(Just kidding, but it WAS still not loading....)
