[oakman29]

I just got reservations booked for the Double Tree by the Gaslamp 265.00 a night.Already have pre-paid tix for the con.Ready to go for next year

There are cheaper ways doc, my rooms were 175 a night this year, but also locals rent rooms in the local newspaper or even apartments

 

500West was $100 per night. Not fancy but OK.

I'll probably find a room outside the downtown circle. Hows public transit over there? (Also, any recommendations?)

 

The trolley helps getting around. I'm 30 min. outside of downtown. I like to park at Qualcomm and ride the trolley in.

 

Be sure to check out Extraordinary Desserts on 5th Ave. (thumbs u It's a great place to satisfy your sugar fix.

Time to prepay $100 for your 4 day SDCC pass for July, 2010. Not sure why a fan would pass up Preview Night:

You guys are so lucky. I'd love to be there

[c-mack]

i'll be out there, my 1st con i cant wait!

[nearmint]

I don't get it. You can buy a 4-day membership with or without preview night, but they're the same price? Why would anyone buy a membership without preview night?

[PokerKid]

Thanks for starting the thread. I forgot to keep checking. I got the rooms last month.

[Designer Toast]

My first SDCC and I had a great time! Seriously, if you hunt around you can find a reasonably priced place to stay. It only cost me $260.00 for five days.

 

Can't wait for next year!

[PokerKid]

What is the reason for the tickets without preview night? Is it:

1) They will be lowering the number of people coming in for preview night because it is too freakin' crowded?

or

2) They want to sell more 4-day tickets this year, but do not want to keep the number of people on preview night about the same as in the past?

Am I the only one who thinks their getting a little crazy with ticket prices? Of course im going but wow.....

$20 a day with all the incredible panels, freebies and volume of available stuff and artists makes it one heck of a bargain to me.

 

For example, I am paying $45 for a 3-day pass to the inaugural Long Beach Con. I have no idea how good it will be. I do know that none of the panels struck me as interesting as most of the San Diego ones (I refuse to wait in line for them, but my wife has gone to several).

 

If you go for Wednesday to Sunday, you are paying $250-$1,000 for rooms, a fair amount for transportation (for you fliers out there, more than a fair amount) and if you eat in restaurants each day, $20-$100 a day or more for food. The $100 cost of the convention barely makes a dent in the balance sheet.

 

While I would prefer to pay less, I think the value is outstanding. Paying $10 for a crappy local show makes me feel ripped off.

[nearmint]

With 4-day passes priced at $100, I doubt a single-day pass will cost $20.

SDCC is capping attendance for the Wed. preview night and tix are now sold out (for crowd control or the privelaged early birds ?). Regular 4 day passes are still available:

I'll be there, giving greggy the high-hat.

[nearmint]

Amazing. It's early October, and preview night in late July is sold out.

 

If you have a 4-day pass without preview night, you can't even pick up your pass until 8:30 Thursday morning. Imagine how long that line is going to be.

I'm so lame. I delayed and now I'm stuck with no preview night. I just bought the four day pass.
