CF2013 Roommate?
12 years ago
I'm not going to go into the back story of the weeks and weeks of getting messed around by the registration team, I'm just gonna state what I'm looking for:
Me and two friends of mine have ended up being allocated a 4-person room, and we need an extra person to come and stay with us. The staff say that if we don't invite someone we know to stay with us, we will be allocated a random person. This wouldn't be so bad, except we were told that seeing as it's a 4-person double room, the random person would have to share a bed with one of us :/
Does anyone want to come and save us?! The requirements are:
You need to be registered
You need to have paid
and here's the clincher;
You need be registered in a 4-person room type already :/
Now I don't think it's very likely that someone who signed up with a 4-person room has had their 3 friends drop out, but I still think it would be worth it for any of you looking to comment here and tell me so, I'll plead with them to let you change room type. Especially if it means you're freeing up another room doing so.
And even if they don't let you swap, we could just force the randomer into your empty room if you're leaving it, or something.
Here's the relevant section from original email from them:
"I have looked over the options currently available and we can only offer to move Lofty into a four person room with you.
If we make this change you would have to find a fourth friend who already has a four person room type selected to share the room with or else you will be allocated a random person to join the room share when registration closes. I mention this now as it would mean one of you could end up sharing a bed with a stranger."

FA+

what a dick move from the staff though...
Ive known people in both years ive been having to share a room with someone theyve never met. Its just how they do things unfortunately
we upgraded to a 4 person just yesterday and we're all paid, they just can't take away slots. I find it silly though how people pay for a 4 person room slot when theyre on their own :s
How did you do the upgrade? What was the situation before and after for all parties?
Since a 4 person room is cheaper than a 3 person room instead of refunding us individually they took the amounts owed (like £40 in total) and deducted it from Danza's CF payment, which was fine by us as we all meet up regularly x3
At the time we were trying to sort it out in the initial stages (5th Feb), we asked:
"would it be possible to have me and my friends allocated a 3 person room (which was my 3rd friend's roomtype) so that all three of us can fill that room up and stay together as we initially attempted?
But they said it wasn't possible. If you were doing your upgrade at the same time as us we could have swapped nicely! ><
Oh wells, I'm not gonna sleep with a randomer, we'll all manage somehow =p
Got my suit this year!
