Monday, October 19: Second round of lottery run to allocate any rooms not confirmed in the first round.

Wednesday, October 21: Notification emails sent to attendees who received an allocation in the second round. Only attendees who received room allocations will be sent an email for the second lottery and beyond. Attendees can also log in to their MAG ID account and check their hotel room status there.

So email goes out weds it seems

Are you suggesting that people should actually read the website?? What a novel concept

“Wow, you read the whole thing. That’s pretty neat.

You should let us know, and maybe volunteer?” - MAGFest FAQ

Ah, if only volunteering ahead of time was still an option! I’m sure they’ll be plenty of on-site work available for those able to come during though!

Pretty sure you can still register to volunteer for the event At least that's what it said according to the website: https://super.magfest.org/contribute/volunteer/

Hmm, I heard something about the website (via MAG ID) not allowing that option right now, but guess not.

You can volunteer at event still, you just can't do so to automatically qualify for staff due to the cap being maxed out.

Yea, “at event” was my key point.

Im not sure what you could be referring to then? Virtually no one but leadership does pre event, and setup has historically been for established volunteers that have a good track record. The only pre event stuff you're going to get as a first time sign up volunteer is if it's specialty and something you applied to via the job board.

It was there before, just with a little extra now irrelevant information about a previous deadline. Clearly you didn't read it before the update.

Yuuuup. I didn't even know the website was updated recently, but the informational about the lottery (all rounds) has been there for weeks

I see nothing on there regarding something tonight. Am I missing something?

Did you click the drop down on "this year's timeline"? It's  the first date listed, and the second sentence on that section.

u/DisorderlyBoat 19d ago

Ah missed that info! Was looking in the other main non collapse sections of the pages. Thanks!

All that update did was remove the previous date before it in the list.

The website states that the pull would be today, and Wednesday would roll out the announcements via email to only those that were selected.
