Is anyone still looking for a room? I've got space for 1 more person in our AirBNB in the Gaslamp across the street from the convention center, within walking distance. If you're interested or know someone who is, feel free to DM me.  

Room no longer available.

Does anyone know more about this SDCC 2017 Stan Lee Exclusive other than what I posted and received via email?

Figured I would try this one more time and see if anyone knows how I might be able to secure a Friday only ticket.  I'll be driving in that morning and flying out that night.  If not, I'll just check out everything around the convention I guess!

Thanks.  I will drag my books with me on the plane and try to watch him at an event. 

Keep in mind that for Stan Lee sigs you usually have to stand in line in order to get a raffle ticket, and if you receive one of the winning tickets then you can stand in line to meet him and get one book signed. it is a process. A friend of mine carried around a heavy Marvel Omnibus to get Stan's sig. He regretted it.

Looking to purchase two 5 day passes (Wed-Sun)

A very good friend of mine decided at the last minute that he wants to attend the show this year.

Normally I would pass on going due to it being so close but this would be his first time ever attending

the San Diego Comic Con and I would enjoy being there with him!

Thanks!

One thing I'll add is that from my experience housing has gotten more challenging, even from last year to this year.  Last year, around April, I booked 3 nights for the con at a hotel room in, what could generously be described as, a fleabag motel/hotel that was about a 30 minute walk from the con.  I think it was around $150/night.  This year, I went to book a room for the con at this same hotel in March, and that same room was almost $300 a night! So I started exploring Airbnbs and there appeared to be a few nice places not too far from the con at reasonable costs comparable to last year.  So I booked a place for 3 nights and it was immediately cancelled.  I did this a few more times, each time my reservation was cancelled.  Why?  Because this is the 'Super Bowl' for Airbnb owners in San Diego and they want people to book for 4 nights minimum.  If you're unwilling to do that, too bad for you. After literally my 7th attempt, and I was booking further and further away from the con, I finally found someone who basically 'took pity' on me and allowed me to book for 3 nights all the way out east of South Park!  And the only reason they agreed was because I was not going to bring 8 friends and party all night at his place.

Easier, and cheaper, to book one of the early bird hotels and take the con shuttle to the convention center.
