We recognize that CCBC is an expensive venue. Here are some ideas that may help you participate in more affordable ways. CCBC has one RV that is cheaper than a room and allows you to stay on-site. We have negotiated rates at two different overflow hotels, one of them having some of the lowest rates in the area. There are many other accommodation options in the Palm Springs area. Your registration includes full access to CCBC, whether you stay there or not. You can come for the day! Day passes include 8 hours of access to CCBC including our dedicated play areas.

Yes, there are some rooms with 2 beds which can be shared. It is up to you to pay for the room and find your own roommate. The organizers will help connect people who have these rooms with those looking for someone to share with.

Absolutely! ​ CCBC Resort Hotel was selected for Hot Seat Retreat precisely because of the ability to host very large gatherings where only a small proportion of guests are staying on site. Read more

This event is owned and operated by Red Handed Events LLC in conjunction with CCBC. It is organized by the people who brought you Whappz, the Dudes Spankin' Dudes Podcast, and the hosts of Hot Seat Vegas and OTK LA.

Flights to Palm Springs can be expensive, so many of our guests choose to fly to Los Angeles LAX is the largest airport in the region with the most options, and likely the best deals. You can also consider flying into ONT in Ontario, CA, which is the closest LA airport to Palm Springs. Flixbus currently offers four buses a day from Downtown LA. You can also rent a car, of course. The CCBC resort has free parking.

All registrations received between 10am and 11:59pm Pacific Time (that's 1pm to 2:59am Eastern Time) on September 14, 2024 will be entered into the lottery. Any registrations received after that time will not be part of the lottery. Rooms will be offered in the order names are drawn from the lottery pool. As each name is drawn we will see if their preferred room type is available. If it is, they'll receive that room. If it isn't, they will be offered the next closest room type until there are no rooms available. Then we will keep drawing names for waitlist positions until there are no more names left in the lottery.

Yes. If you want to stay at CCBC be sure to put that down. If you aren't selected in the lottery, you can stay at one of the overflow hotels.

Yes, CCBC requires a minimum 3-night stay for this event

If your name is drawn to receive a room but there are no rooms of the type you requested available we will offer you the next closest room type.

Please include any special requests in the general comments box on your registration form

No. If you are staying offsite, or only attending for one day, you can register at your convenience. By registering early you'll get access to the group rates at our overflow hotels.

Yes please contact us regarding the changes and we'll do our best to accommodate them. Please be patient with us in the initial days after registration opens.

Please select "Shared room at CCBC". A Roommate Name field will appear where you will put your roommate's name. He needs to do the same when he registers, listing your name as his roommate. Sharing a room increases your odds of getting a room at CCBC as long as you and your roommate register separately during the lottery registration window. This is because both names will be entered in the draw.

If you don't have a roommate yet please select "My own room at CCBC". Once you know who your roommate is, contact us to have him added to your reservation. He will need to register with us as well. We have a limited number of rooms with 2 beds, so participants with known (and registered) roommates may be prioritized for these rooms.

Once there are no rooms available during the lottery drawing we will keep drawing names for waitlist positions until there are no more names left in the lottery. We will add any registrations received after the lottery cut-off to the bottom of the waitlist in the order those registrations are received.

Once you notify us of your cancellation, we will ensure that the deposit you paid to CCBC is refunded. Your room will be offered to the next person on our waiting list. Room transfers are only allowed if your registered roommate is still coming.

If you decide to cancel your registration you'll get a full refund as long as you let us know at least 28 days before the event.

Unfortunately CCBC's bunk room is no longer available to us so we have discontinued this lottery.
