What Happens at a SxSW Firesale!?

Fire sale = selling at deep discount 
Real estate sometimes gets short sold. What I mean is sold at a loss. I know hotel rooms have high margin, so while there is a profit, there is less profit when hotels hold a Firesale. 

At #SXSW, hotels rooms are being sold at very low prices. For example, Sheraton Hotel

Buy low, sell high. #cs183a (arbitrage) 

When buyers do not buy, the price gets lowered.

This is bordering on a weekend rate when it should be double-the-rack rate.
