That's great! I just found this from this year.

So if you might happen to be going to jail for killing a man by Snoo Snoo, you can get a refund for your tickets.

Thanks all for the replies. I have been checking out hotels for the last week but can't get an exact price and that cause I need to wait till after this year's con for the dates to be available since I cant check more than 365 day's ahead. I am planning on coming to the States the Saturday before the con, do some touristy things the first couple of days and then leave the Monday after to come back to Australia so 9 days all up. I am looking to get a 4 day pass + preview night as well.

Comi - Con... WTH is Comi- Con?

Dont worry about it Bruce.

DANG! Trying to bend people over a barrel.

SDCC needs to take over a few hotels and offer good discounts. You'd know that pretty much everyone at your hotel is goign to the show.. so you can booby trap those bastards.

They take over numerous hotels and offer discounts- the list goes up on Comic-Con.org. The problem is that the hotels double their rates for Con week. So, for example, a room at the Marriot is approx $450 a night but "only" $250 a night with the SDCC discount.

So all the rooms in the hotel are for the convention?

And I figured hotels would do that since they do something similar at other conventions. A crappy hotel would normally be $50/ night but out of nowhere is $115 a night.

And I didnt see any pics of your ass.

Do they take over ALL of the hotels? So basically you have to go through the con website to get reservations for a majority of the hotels or can you still just go through the hotel itself?

I tried to go directly to a few hotels that Comic-con had on their site and it shows up as no rooms available.

I was figuring cause that is a little far out of the ways but maybe that is the true reason they are holding off until the convention center actually scoops them up?

Clearly I am a n00b at this.

I am a noob at this too but yeah, they wait for the con to get rooms so they can inflate the prices.

Don't worry about that. That's because most hotels won't book that far in advance. Plus, the site is still set up for this year.

No, No I did that earlier this year when Comic-con posted their hotel list. I went to a few of the hotel sites to see if I could book a room and the Wednesday to Sunday availability were gray. So no rooms were available since they were holding them for Comic-con.

I say we all get a condo!

 

[Cap'n Cook]

OMG! That would be awesome Brick!

Would love to make it, ESP as the Batman 3 viral would likely be underway.


Heck, if I can't convince a mate I may just come by myself.
