Can a U2.com member enter if they don't live on the West Coast?

It may be possible... but have in mind that Dreamforce is a massive conference, to the point that by now, it's more than likely that every hotel/B&B/AirBnB/etc in San Francisco is either sold out or charging $$$$$....

 

It's so huge, last year they had a cruise ship where conference attendees stayed because there were not enough hotel rooms...

 

so... the recommendation would be to have in mind all of this before considering to participate - maybe this one could be for the local fans...

Plus, with it being so close, on top of the hotel charges, airfare will be very high also.

Hotel prices have exceeded the extortion level even an hour outside the city. I'm a frequent SF traveler so I'm very familiar with room rates. I'm blown away by what I'm seeing. It's so disgusting. Rooms that I rarely pay more than $200 a night are $929 and up. I saw the Holiday Inn at $1126!!!

at this moment, we don't know. Patience, please...

[bigwave 543]

hearing that winners are starting to be notified / will be very soon

[monica martino 141]

Happy for everyone going!

Sing out loud and forget your mobiles for a night

Dittto to what others said - thanks for this fantastic opportunity!  And have all of the winners been notified by now? I already booked my flight from LA with frequent flier points, have a place to stay, and arranged to take off of work - so now all I need is to find out that I won?!? Fingers still crossed!

I guess no luck for anyone here?

[kavanbJDE 3]

Bigwave. If people have not received an email yet, can we presume that all the 50 pairs of tickets winners have been notified? Do you know by any chance?

[tingly 0]

There are also 3 alternates who might not be notified until needed.

[kavanbJDE 3]

Thanks for the update.  Fingers crossed for those 3

[Melissa Hannant 8]

So, has anyone been notified and how?

[widorantes 3]

I'm also dying to know who won. If there were 50 winners, all paid subscribers, there should be at least someone commenting here or other forums/social media, but everything is quiet. Any info mods? Max Tsukino? Big Wave?

[Melissa Hannant 8]

That's what I would assume as well. It's odd that there is zero news about the announcement of winners or from the winners themselves. I wouldn't care so much, but I live in CA and entered!
