OFFICIAL SPYDERFEST POST -- FROM MOGANG

[BLUEKNIGHT911]

So exciting...we overwhelmed the server and I KNOW FOR A FACT that they increased the server capacity and we still did it....I started at 10:01 (Pacific time)...finally got to register at 10:18 and still was not in top 777...so no goody surprise for this ole' Spyderlover.....but other than going into a very deep dark depression I will be OK...cause I am registered for Spyderfest 2016 and PayPal assures me it is a done deal......Whew that was exhausting New Year is going to have to ring itself in all by it's lonesome....My sadness over missing out on a surprise has me sucking my thumb and feeling sorry for myself......but I will soldier on...now becomes the 111 day countdown until departure for Springfield, MO and the premier Spyder event..
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVERYONE...

I log in on this website,go to register but tells me user name already taken. Tried this 5 times now locked out for a while. What is up with this?

Spyderfest gurus aka Pitbull Powersports and MoGang confirmed that the # we got is not our actual registration # but some random numbering system. Cruzr Joe wanted me to not be in "poor me" mood and let me know that even tho my # was 935 I was actually in the coveted 777....so I slept like a baby. And now I have started countdown to departure day. 111 days

[GloryRyders]

to all of you because you should be in the "777" club! I started at 12:01 and finished registration at 12:18, number 857, but those numbers mean nothing. I'm not even sure that they have reached 777 as of this morning! See you all at Spyderfest!

[PW2013STL]

I like so many others started at 12:01 to register and kept getting bounced out, but I finely got to the pay for it at 12:15 only to find out that you have to pay by PayPal.
Since I steer clear of PayPal as much as possible they did not have my current CC on file and would not allow me to add my new card at the pay now

I then had to go into PayPal to add the new card, and then go back and log in to the pay now to complete the payment.

Finally completed at 12:28 and received number around 910. So I started and PayPal again!

Reading all your posts from those that were able to register before me and still having high numbers makes my morning so much better as I now think that I have a shot at being in the vaulted 777

Either way Kathy and I will see you at Spyderfest

[armyspydervet]

Pitbull PS posted to FB this morning at about 0030 that they did not yet hit the 777 and anyone with confirmed registrations at that time were in the lucky 7s.

Well my wife and I are in.
Had to sit through the overload on the registration site.
This will be our first Spyder Fest.
Looking forward to meeting new friends.

We will be staying at the BW Coach House.

[EAGLE27]

I'm in, registered 3 at the same time. So excited for my first Spyderfest! Isn't wonderful that so many want to enjoy the fun that we actually maxed out the site. Minnesota coming for the fun!!

Because this happened at last years registration they increased the server capacity to eliminate this and WOW we did it again. Yep Nothing like Spyderfest and all that attend. Folks consistently ask wow your 6th doesn't it get boring and my answer is always IT IS THE PEOPLE...Spyder lovers are reallly special and of course I'm a salesman's delight so vendor village is an attraction I like. Then there are the rydes and the special activities and of course the just sitting around talking. Yep Spyderfest is the BEST.

Registered and Hotel booked!!! Ready for some Spyder Riding, Friends and Food!!!

ME 2. Going to give it till 12:15(1:15 here), then I'm going to bed. Who need another T-shirt anyway????????

It's not just a t-shirt!!!!!! Still time to be in the first 777.

[Synthetic]

The number we received apparently has nothing to do with the time or order you were in when your purchase was confirmed.
Mine went through at about 12:15 and my number is 922....I see others here that were well after 12:15 but had a lower number than mine....I can see why a person can still be in the Lucky 777 and have a high confirmation number.

[Mazo EMS2]

Wife and I are in. Registered and room booked. WooHoo, first Spyderfest.

[Joanie]

Murphy, have no fear. I have insider information, you are in the top 777!!!!!

I can attest to how bad this "SpyderFest" thing is.....both my wife and I are sick....I know....being sick on New Years Eve is not at good start to the year but anyway........I was in bed, sick, trying to fall asleep but set my alarm to go off at 11:50 pm so I could get out of my sick bed and go to the computer to wait for 12:01 to take place so I can get registered for SpyderFest.....not feeling good at all and then I kept getting bounced off the process time and time again. At one point my "Cart" showed I owed $499.50 for two tickets! hehehehehehe It really was not a good experience being sick and getting thrown out time after time but guess what? We're in and when SpyderFest takes place we only have to drive across town to get there! However, as we Spyder Ryders know...it's as much about the trip as is it the destination!

Fingers crossed the Holiday Inn will be a host hotel again this year.
Really enjoyed staying there last year.
