Gonna be a warm one end of July.
Quoted from Irishbastard:It's On!
Where did you see that? I just fetched a fresh (non-cached) web page from http://www.pinfestival.com/ and it still has the 2020 cancellation. This posting is 5 hours after the "It's On!" posting.

David it was shared on Facebook. Ivan1496 can confirm.
As mentioned, was shared on FB by Marc Crouse.
If it's on, going to try to attend....Can wear my vaccination card around my neck.
It’s confirmed and the date is locked provided that conditions allow. We just haven’t updated the site yet.

Vaccination card? Is that a thing?
Quoted from Hammerhead:Vaccination card? Is that a thing?
Yes you can now get your Pinside badge and Covid vacation card in one place.
Quoted from Hammerhead:Vaccination card? Is that a thing?
Yes it is. When you get the vaccine they give you a card with what version of the vaccine and date administered.

Ivan have you negotiated any rates with local hotels?
I was lucky enough to just reschedule my hotel reservation from last year to this years show. COVID allowed me to push it back and I didn’t have to eat the money so why not
Quoted from bluespin:Ivan have you negotiated any rates with local hotels?
not yet but plan to in a few weeks. I’ll share details as this evolves.

Ivan,
Good to
Know the PIN code didn’t work for the Holiday Inn. Formerly The Wingate . I’ll keep checking back. I’m all in for pretzel steak !

If this is allowed to happen by the powers that be... could there be limits of numbers of attendance? Only so many in the area at one time? That could lead to selling a set number of tickets or other restrictions.
Quoted from gmanrulz46:room is booked ...renaissance hotel . 150 , cant wait.
That's a good price, great hotel and location. Walking distance to a good brew pub, and outside bar across the street.

Is that the nonrefundable rate price? The refundable single person king bed room rate is no less than $200, without tax, based on my searches.

You're not that far! About 1.5 hrs give or take.

I had to fight tooth and nail last year to get a Covid refund on my hotel. I’ll never book anything I can’t cancell again .
Quoted from poppapin:You're not that far! About 1.5 hrs give or take.
I like turning the event into a relaxing weekend. No better way than staying at the stylish Renaissance Hotel.
There hasn't been a ton of hotel chat since the latest dates were announced. Are the three hotels posted going to be it for group rates? Has anyone figured out how to enter the group code for the Holiday Inn Express? For the life of me, I can't find a place for it on any of the screens up through where you enter the payment.

I had issues with the codes in the past and just called the hotel and booked over the phone. I'm going to book one you can cancel, just in case either the show gets cancelled or I can't attend.
The hotels don't seem to have any group codes listed for the event. Just called the Park hotel and they have no record of a group rate for Pinfest. Maybe Ivan hasn't secured them yet.

In an Email Ivan said he’d secure the blocks later this month. I hope The Dorney park peeps don’t hog all the Hotels.
I booked the Hilton Garden Inn West for $130 a night with taxes thru the Hilton Honors site. It's close and the have a bar. Full cancellation within 24 hours plus I can convert payment to points before arrival.
Just booked the Holiday Inn. No promo code yet, but I can always cancel, and I am guaranteed a room. With PA opening back up and families missing out on Vacation 2020, I am betting dollars to donuts that hotels are going to be snapped up.
So where is everyone else staying? Was going to do the Holiday Inn, but its almost the same price as the Renaissance, kinda stupid.
Quoted from monkfe:Renaissance...
Looks like no cancellations allowed at Renaissance
Depends how you register, as I recall if you pay the higher price (direct trough the website) , you can cancel, anything purchased through one of the online go betweens normally don't allow cancellations as a rule...
I have found the go betweens to be more expensive compared to the hotel websites.
Though this year i have not yet booked a room.

It's cheaper through their own site, but says no cancellations. I know they used to have a cancelation policy, as I cancelled last year.
Quoted from Irishbastard:Looks like no cancellations allowed at Renaissance
Direct booking with the Renaissance Hotel, at a $200+ rate for a single room, does permit a cancellation up to 24 hours in advance. At least, that option was offered as of April.
The nonrefundable rate is in the $160 range.

Was under "member Prepay and Save"... Looks like cheapest now is $292 (AAA) with option to cancel.(Two Bed) Nonrefundable is now $261.

That escalated quickly.
Maybe I missed it but is there still the forthcoming possibility of hotel room block pricing with the show?
Quoted from Clytor:Maybe I missed it but is there still the forthcoming possibility of hotel room block pricing with the show?
There should be, but I have not seen it yet. I am also waiting on an invoice for my flea registration. I am sure Ivan is super busy and will address things over the next few weeks. If anyone sees the Pinfestival Website Lodging page updated, kindly post that information. Thanks in advance.
I am in the right thread NOW.
Wyndham gave me my points back.
Please see for sale thread for the info leading up to this.
Like last year, we're staying at the Comfort Inn Lehigh Valley West via Hotwire... 72$ + tax per night... helluva deal!!!
Hotel isn't bad at all; pretty much the same deal last 3 years give or take a few bucks.
No block at the Holiday Inn as of today, former Wingate. I check periodically on the Pinfestival website. I called the Hotel front desk and conformed there isn’t rooms reserved at this time. The few $ I might save goes towards pretzel steaks.
Unfortunately the ABE area is super short on hotel lodging apparently. As a resident of the valley I feel bad for you guys. 300 a night is crazy. Hope to see you guys there.
Got our invoice for an indoor booth. Just booked at the Sonesta Select Allentown Bethlehem Airport, single king bed for Thurs/Fri nights $240 total including tax. FYI the invoices say Friday, Saturday, and Sunday but the show is only Friday and Saturday.
Hope to see you there!
