Couldn't someone use a bot to register interest a million times so they have a much higher chance of winning the lot drawing?
- kelnos 2y agoIIRC they require that you submit your license plate number when you register for parking, so no, you could only register once per vehicle.
- maxbond 2y agoAnd you'll need to address this whichever approach you take. If you can't pin them down to an identity, you'll probably need to take a deposit.
- RomanHauksson 2y agoI wonder if you could register using all the plate numbers from a nearby car rental place, then try to rent the corresponding car if it gets chosen.
- hunter2_ 2y agoRental cars actually add an interesting aspect to all of this: if you use a disposable (not also used to buy your ski pass) email address and the license plate of your rental car for a reservation, the resort will have no way to penalize you for being a no-show! Any attempt at collecting a fine, prohibiting future business, etc. would be against a useless email address and plate number that you don't reuse the next time you visit. Also, once you've managed to get a reservation, the system allows you to modify the plate number on your reservation, presumably to allow for renting after reserving.
- deepsun 2y agoType many fake invalid license plates, and cancel them, freeing a spot at a time of your choice.
- hunter2_ 2y agoYou don't need to cancel a reservation in order to convert it from a bogus plate number to your actual plate number. Changing your plate number is already permitted by the reservation system.
