Save The Date & Opt In

How do I book a room during the Pre-sale?

An exclusive Pre-sale will take place for all returning CTTS fam and guests who opt-in to get Pre-sale access.

All returning guests will automatically receive priority booking times based on trip history when the lineup and additional event details are released. No action needed on your part for now!

Anyone who has never attended the event has the opportunity to reserve a spot prior to rooms going on sale to the public by opting-in to the Pre-sale. Sign into your account and opt-in now to qualify. If you don’t have an account, sign up now & complete your opt-in.

*IF YOU PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED CLOSER TO THE SUN, DO NOT OPT-IN or it will duplicate your account causing you to lose your trip history and priority booking time.

Things To Know

• Past attendees and members that opt-in will receive an email with a unique Password once full event details are announced with more info on how to book during the Pre-sale.
• Only ONE person needs to opt-in per room. If you already know who your roommate will be, only ONE of you should opt-in.
• If any rooms remain after the Returning Guest Pre-sale, booking times will be issued by the order in which your opt in is received.
• Opting-in to the Pre-sale does NOT guarantee you a room at the event, as there are more returning guests and opt-ins than rooms available.
• Pre-sale Passwords are non-transferable and can only be redeemed by the password holder.
• If you have any questions about the event, contact the Cloud 9 Adventures Travel Team.
