URGENT - Gencon housing only if Badge purchased by midnight
There is a housing lottery for all affiliated hotels in area, you can only get into lottery if you buy Gencon badges by 11:59 pm February 9. You could still get housing outside of lottery but it may cost $200-$300 more. Order Badges today unless you have a friend to stay with.

Re: URGENT - Gencon housing only if Badge purchased by midni
Hi. Stupid question, I've never been to any event let alone something as big as this seems. What is this event? It sounds fun. From the urgency of this message it seems I need to figure out if I am to go or not by today.

You can still find housing outside downtown after Sunday. It just means you'll be driving in, and struggling to find places to park, during the day. It's not urgent, yet.

Re: URGENT - Gencon housing only if Badge purchased by midni
4 day badge is $110. Cheepest hotel through lottery I think is $100/night, more like $150-250 if walking distance, which if you split 4 ways for 4 nights equals 1 day rate a person. Factor in $80-150 for food/drinks, $50 for event badges, and for most people $50-$500 for “I have to buy this game” in the dealer hall. So minimum $400 for weekend per person (not counting travel) usually more. You can get hotels 15-30 min driving away for cheaper but then you have to pay $10-15/day for parking (split 3/4 ways isn’t bad).
I live 2 hours by car away and have a friend who’s folks and grandma live in the area so I pay for his badge in trade for staying with his family, and is cheaper for me and way cheap for him (he just pays gas). You can also volunteer for Heroscapers or Gencon to get a free badge but expect to work at least 8 event hours, and even free hotel (at Heroscapers GM discretion) if you work 20+ hours Not 100% but main event usually has room for at least 72 people and there are a dozen 4+ hour Heroscaper events over the weekend, not to mention 1000s of other games and events. Expensive, but worth it in most people’s eyes as long as you have the time to go. C3V/SoV cards @ 3/page PDF / LeftOn4ya's Customs (including Jurassic World) / Competitive Unit Alters / New?

Spots as such "volunteers" are not guaranteed, of course, and are not issued "first come first served." If you want to go to GenCon, the best way is to buy a badge.
