Who's going to SDCC and where are you staying?

[tomandshell]

I got a reply from Comic Con. So if I buy say Thur/Fir/Sat passes I will have to stand in the BIG AZZ line 3 times.

Are you serious? Why would they make you do that? Why can't you just register the first day? That makes no sense...

Looks like I can fly on two direct flights for $411 but I will have to drive to Baltimore. Now heres to hoping I can pay for them before they sell out.

That doesn't seem too bad flying from all the way across the country. Mine was $259 when I booked it this morning. They have a sale going on and its down $100 bucks from yesterday.

Man, that sucks...
I can't understand why they do this...
it's just stupid...
Why can't people just get all their passes at once...

Mine went up 10 bucks. Bastards.

Last year I picked up it passes for both days whe I was there, I don't see why you can't do the same for four. All they have to do is scan a damn bar code.

Yeah they are retarded like that.

I would think you could but I just had an odd feeling they wouldn't let you. I may still try but I dont know.

The thing of it is, is that at Con you can ask 3 different people the same question and get 3 different answers.

I would think they'd want to ease congestion in the lines and therefore, not ask the same person to stand in line 3 or 4 days in a row.

I bet the person that answered you really doesn't know the truth.
Someone else should ask and I bet there's a different answer!

 

[The Ween]

No wait!

You and me *and* Viggo *and* Bale!





Read it and weep, Boys.

Sorry, I'll be making a sammich out of those two guys while you two are getting drunk and playing pool in San Diego.

I'll be playing my own kinda pool game.

Travel Planners SUCKS!

8:58 AM PST- The atomic clock was 2 mins. fast so I was trying to get in at what my computer said was 8:58 -

9:02:56 AM - Finally got the "waiting room" page.

9:04 AM - Got the waiting room page on my iphone and started speed dialing the 877 number. Hit the speaker button, speedial, busy signal, hangup. 4 different co-workers came into my office to ask about the steady beeping.

9:05 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:06 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:07 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:08 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:09 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:10 AM - nothing but spinning icon
___you get the idea______
9:53 AM - No busy signal! Get to the first menu on the phone! THE LINE DISCONNECTS!
9:54 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:55 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:56 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:57 AM - nothing but spinning icon
9:58 AM - nothing but spinning icon
etc.

10:43 AM - got through on the phone again! They said they'd take the order and pass it on to the reservation specialist? Huh? Ask for top 4 hotel choices - I ask for Omni, Hardrock, Marriot Marina, Hilton Bayfront. They said that I'd get an email or phone call to let me know if my reservation is confirmed. Huh?

Remain online to try to get something actually confirmed.
10:43 AM - nothing but spinning icon
10:44 AM - nothing but spinning icon
10:45 AM - nothing but spinning icon
10:46 AM - nothing but spinning icon
etc.

11:10 AM - the iphone finally shows the reservation page. I select a hotel and they don't have rooms - no surprise. Click the button for available rooms - long list of hotels - none of which have rooms.
11:15 AM - Go online and reserve a room at the Hilton Bayfront with no problem (at twice the TravelPlanning price).
-----
1:00 PM - I notice the browser page on my desktop computer has finally arrived at the reservation page.

1:55 PM - receive my reservation confirmation via email from TP....for the Sheraton in bum^^^^ nowhere.

 

[Sick Boy 82]

I've just decided to pay out the ass in May when I can afford it at the Hard Rock or The Westin. Fux it!

BadMoon's Mooching plea:

Attention all Freaks! I think I actually have a good shot at going but I need a little help. I am probably going to pick up my plane ticket this weekend. I was able to sell my extra TV to be able to afford the plane tickets. I am flying into San Diego on the 21st around 11:00am to Noon depending on the flight.

A - I don't have a place to stay. I am potty trained and fun to be around.

B - Not sure how I am getting from and back to the airport. Are Cabs pricey? I am probably going to need to get back to the airport on Sunday the 26th around 9:00am.

Any help, advice, or negative feedback for trying to mooch is welcome!

In all seriousness I am not even really going for the Con. I know weird right? Although I do have my 4 day pass. I really just want to get to meet my fellow Freaks!

Thanks for reading my call to help.

[tomandshell]

[SpawnFan]

Hey BadMoon if you are not really planning on going to the Con I'd love to take that 4 day pass of your hand!

Just sayin'...
