There certainly nothing but headaches this year. If I didn't live a half-hour away I don't think I would go anymore.

I had the same problems. This is my first year going so I hope all the pain is worth it. There has got to be a better process for both tickets and lodging.

I do think the best time is the VIP herfer things, it pretty much garantees you a couple of hours when you can move around get things taken care off. If you have a VIP right after the breakfast get in line, that line builds up fast and you want to be towards the front. Then get in the hall and get your samples fast, don't loiter move quickly. Doing that you should clear the hall before it gets horrible.

I've stayed at Split Rock twice over the past few years. The first time was in one of the time-share condos and they had a maintenance man doing something outside at midnight. He banged on our door. The whole experience scared the crap out of us.

The second time, we booked a room and it was not very clean at all. All of the ceiling fixtures were full of bugs.

Both times, there were real headaches in getting reservations, similar to what is described here.
