San Diego Comic-Con 2010!

I know me and my brother are talking about going this year. After we miss last year we said we are not missing this one.

 

Well, ya'll better stop talking and start buying. They've only got tickets for Thursday, Friday, and Sunday now.

 

Bought my 4-day pass months ago (though not with premier). Just need to figure out my plane+hotel deal is all. My bro is going and a good amount of friends are.

Yea but can't you get a plane ticket and hotel room now without doing one of their deals?

 

It really sucks that they sell the tickets this far in advance. I'd love to go next year, but I have no idea what I'll be doing around that time.

 

You could always buy the tickets. And you'll have until the middle June to get a full refund.

 

I'm certain you could, but I'm wondering if you'd be able to get into any of the hotels on their list. I'm guessing all/most of their rooms are already reserved for the Con.

 

Well, I don't have the money for it now.

 

You're from New York. Don't you learn how to mug people in grade school or something?

 

Funny.

 

I tried to raise money for Comic-Con based on a regional stereotype as well. I just got in trouble.

Apparently, slave trading has been outlawed for sometime.

 

i seen that when i went to by my tickets. I just have to wait for my brother to get off work because he got the money.

 

And then you can knock him out and steal his wallet. Excellent plan!

 

That's why they call them 'Escort Services' now.

 

I saw that the hotel 'lottery' is starting up in March. I am going to attempt to get a suite in the Hilton as that is a better rated hotel then the Marriott. Now if I do get the room I want, I will offer up my room at the Marriot which I already paid for at a big discount. It is a deluxe room on the concierge level.

Other then that, I was wondering who would be up for having one group dinner or lunch from Wednesday to Sunday?

 

I'm even more interested in the Marriot now because I can get a night free. So if the price per day is right...

Which Marriot is it?

 

The one adjacent to the convention center.

 

Ok, I think I went to two panels in that one. Seemed pretty nice.

 

These are the room details by the way:

Concierge level, Guest room, 1 King or 2 Double, Bay view, South Tower

The room costs for the 4 nights including taxes about $2k. I will accept significantly less if I am successful at getting a room in the Hilton or upgrading to a suite.

4 nights? I need 6. Although I could grab a cheap room somewhere the first and last night since I won't be under a time crunch.

 

I arrive on Wendesday and leave on Sunday morning so yes it is just 4 nights.

 

Ah. I was planning on arriving Tuesday and leaving Monday.
