    Where are you seeing tix?

    Regarding hotel reservations, looks like a lot of the downtown have a non-refundable one night plus full cost if cancelled even up to 3 weeks prior.

    The DC staff told us before we left yesterday. I know for sure that's the price for folks who re-upped at the con this year, but we were also told that for two weeks after the con it will be 85.

    There seems to be nothing up yet on the DC site.

    What I DO know:


    • Westin will start taking reservations Sep 5th, so tomorrow
    • Dates for 2019 will be Aug 29 - Sep 2.

    I’m going to reserve a room at the Westin tomorrow - it’ll be me and Ty so room for two others to bunk with. I think Logan will be old enough to stay with a sitter by then but we’ll have to be flexible about that

    Here is the link for 2019 tickets:

    http://store.dragoncon.org/index.php...-3lfvxJ-i0Vpy2

    For now it's only 85 bucks, which is a steal. In another few weeks it will most definitely be going up.

    ***ATTENTION***




    The Westin
    210 Peachtree St. NW
    Atlanta, GA
    30303

    !! - Don't call the hotel itself, call Central here - 1-800-937-8461

    Westin blocks are open, but the reps might tell you that they can't book that far ahead. Just explain that others have already been able to get their rooms. That's what happened with me, and the gal I was talking to was super nice, did a quick check, and then was able to book my room. When booking, ask for the attendee group. It seems there are two DC groups; one for guests and one for internal folks. The internal will show as unavailable, so ask for the other one. They require a two night down payment which will be about $540, and payment in full in April.




    The Marriott opens up their blocks sometime in October, but honestly? I don't recommend it. The elevator situation there is notorious and it can be loud.




    The Sheraton is - from what I've heard - the least expensive of all the host hotels. I'm not sure when it opens up its' blocks, since they ended their legacy program this year.




    I don't have any info for the Hyatt or the Hilton yet.



    ***Overflow Hotels***

    There are overflow hotels as well, and some have charter bus service to Peachtree Center if you don't feel like walking. I don't remember their names, but I have stayed at one of them (sadly I can't remember the name), and it was fantastic. Other overflows are Hotel Indigo, Motel 6 (which some of us stayed in in '09), and Inn at the Peachtrees to name a few. Just look up Atlanta Hotels in google maps with a focus on the Peachtree center.

    No matter what hotel you choose, keep calling!

    I’m going to miss out on the Westin - their down payment is too much for us to afford right now. :/

    I reserved a hotel room - I think it’s the same one I stayed at last time. A bit of a walk, but doable. And it’s inexpensive. PLUS Uber and Lyft exist now.
