Onsite Offsite  Admissionhttp://www.comic-con.org/cci/member-id http://www.comic-con.org/cci/purchase-badges You must first register a member ID at the Comic-Con website. Once you have that, you can log in when badges go on sale, whenever that is. Be warned, once badges go on sale, they will sell out fast. And now that registration is randomized, you're gonna be hosed. 2013 went in 90 minutes. Regular badge sales went on sale last year in February. With pre-reg being pushed back, it is hard to guess when this will happen. OPEN REGISTRATION IS MARCH 15 AT 9AM PT  Pre-Registrationhttp://www.comic-con.org/cci/2014-cci-badge-preregistration Pre-registration is open to everyone who paid to go to Comic-Con in 2013. Pre-reg was supposed to happen last fall, but it kept getting pushed back. They've been testing for a load of 100000 people, so the system is sure to crash right away. Your 2013 badge will have your registration code. Watch this educational video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07z59DUl5sk Here's some tips on getting in
Preview Night: $35.00 - $16.00 senior/junior/military Thursday: $45.00 - $23.00 senior/junior/military Friday: $45.00 - $23.00 senior/junior/military Saturday: $45.00 - $23.00 senior/junior/military Sunday: $30.00 - $15.00 senior/junior/military Total: $200 - $100 senior/junior/military Children 12 and younger are free with paying adult. Register your kid onsite for a child badge. Children 13-17 need a member ID to buy a Junior badge. Seniors start at 60. So for 2014 the price went up $25 and the 4 day option is gone. You can only buy preview night if you buy all 4 days. Pre-Registration timeline: 9:09 Registration opened 9:29 Preview Night sold out 10:28 Friday and Saturday sold out 10:51 Thursday sold out 11:35 Sunday sold out Open-Registration timeline: 9:12 Registration opened 9:56 Preview Night sold out 9:58 Friday and Saturday sold out 10:20 Thursday sold out 10:24 Sunday sold out Volunteers http://www.comic-con.org/cci/volunteers Volunteer for 3 hours and you get to spend the rest of the day at Comic-Con. If you were a volunteer last year, you're probably already signed up. The Comic-Con volunteer interest list has reached capacity and is closed for 2014, so try again for 2015 Volunteer registration for those approved begins on Feb 4. Professionals http://www.comic-con.org/cci/professionals Pro registration began on 1/29 Press http://www.comic-con.org/cci/press Don't want to go anymore? Return your pass here  Badge Pick Uphttp://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_reg_pickup.php 4 day pass with preview night - You can pick up your badges at the Sails Pavilion starting at 3pm on Wednesday, although it usually opens up earlier. 4 day pass w/o preview night / Thursday single day - If you want your badge on Wednesday, head over to the Town & Country Hotel in Mission Valley. Some years this is painless, others it's a massive clusterfuck due to traffic and parking. You can take a shuttle to get there if you're downtown. Friday/Saturday/Sunday - pick up at the Sails Pavilion starting at 8:30am Multiple single-day badges You can get all your badges at once. However, you have to go to a pick-up desk at the Sails Pavilion to get Fri/Sat/Sun badge holders. There will be a separate line for each day badge. If you bought all days, your badge will be combined into a 4 day.  Hotelshttp://www.comic-con.org/cci/hotels Hotel reservations, tentative date is April 8 at 9am PT Registering a hotel via Comic-Con gets you a discounted rate. However, it's really hard to get a room. They had a lottery system and most people got hosed over. If you stay at a Comic-Con partner hotel, they'll likely have a shuttle to take you and your tired feet back and forth from the convention center. http://comic-con.org/toucan/comic-con-international-2014-early-bird-hotels-are-open Early bird hotel reservation is now open. These are the lovely faraway hotels. However, they are cheaper. If you don't want to chance it with the lottery, you should have booked your arrangements last July already. You might get lucky if you can find a vacation rental. Another option is sharing a bathroom with 10 people at a hostel. Here's a fan's guide to hotels you'll wish you were staying at while dodging roaches at your motel in Chula Vista http://crazy4comiccon.wordpress.com/2011/03/01/how-to-pick-a-hotel-for-sdcc/  Parking Wanna sleep in your car? Or maybe you're a local. Or you like using your car for storage for all your swag and Chewbacca costume. Here's some parking tips: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/parking You cannot just show up and park close by anymore. The last few years, Comic-Con offered pre-orders for some nearby parking lots. http://www.aceparking.com/comic-con/ Convention parking will be $15 per day. Other places will be $20-$30 per day. Keep in mind the parking garages will close around 2AM and reopen around 5AM. Parking between those hours is prohibited. Be sure to have a hard copy of your parking pass. If you have a hotel, you could probably park there as well. While there are lots of parking lots throughout downtown San Diego, studios have been hogging some of them up to put on their own events. Some of the better options are the Park It on Market structure on Market St between 6th and 7th. Map and the 6th and K Parkade Map If you still can't get parking, try Old Town or Fashion Valley and taking...  Public Transportation & Trolleys If you are flying in and staying far outside of downtown and don't want to pay an arm and a leg for taxis, consider the trolley and bus systems. Buy a multi-day transit pass of some sort. They are pretty affordable. But, you will spend a great deal of time riding around. There are three major lines that cover different parts of the county and eventually intersect in a few places. The green line comes from the north, the orange from the east, and the blue from the south. The blue and orange lines both go downtown. If you take the green line you will be required to hop onto the blue line in order to finish the trip downtown. If you're gonna take the bus, check your phone. There's probably an app for that. Maps, timetables, and more information at http://www.sdmts.com/ Comic-Con will have shuttle service to and from the convention center for many of their hotel partners. See the map and schedules here http://www.comic-con.org/cci/shuttles Super Shuttle will get you to and from the airport. Use the discount code XOMIC. If you're coming from Los Angeles, take the Amtrak. On the ride in you get to watch dumb drunk white folk in funny hats go to the Del Mar races. On the way back, you can get drunk and look at all the suckers gridlocked on the 5. On Sunday, be sure to get to the train station an hour or more early, the lines are LONG.  TIPS and general info to ensure you enjoy the con to its full potential and not die --Comic-Con is a marathon. Pace yourself. --BUDGET! Decide how much money you're going to spend before you attend, or you could be sorry. --Cash is a necessity. ATMs inside the convention center always have never-ending lines. I've never used one, but I imagine the service fees are fairly lovely as well. Get your cash beforehand! Luckily, more and more exhibitors take cards each year. However, don't depend on that. There are plenty of ATMs and banks in the Gaslamp, so fin your bank and stock up there. --Follow the 6/2/1 rule. Try for at least 6 hours of sleep. Eat 2 very good meals, and get 1 shower a day. --Some hotels have free breakfasts. Others have breakfast buffets. Make use of them. --Deodorant! Deodorant! Deodorant! --Seriously, people show up smelling like they have never bathed their entire life. Don't be that guy. No Axe products please. --Start walking now. Seriously, get a regime going. You can cover a good 5-10 miles in a day at the Con. Anyone whose been there have seen the causalities dropping outside the main hall from exhaustion. Toughen up and condition yourself for the big walk. --Wear walking/running/cross country shoes and good socks. You could quickly find yourself in pain if you don't equip your feet properly. For a lot of people, this is the most walking they'll do all year, hah. --Fresh gel insoles for your shoes. --Wear for comfort. Loose clothing is a good idea. Cosplay Magnum PI for max comfort. --Powder. Get some baby powder or gold bond and put it everywhere. Blisters and rashes are no fun. --Knock up your gf/wife in January or February. --Make use of the footbridge over by Petco Park. Especially useful when the late night freight train takes 30 minutes to pass. --Don't forget to pick up the daily update newsletter, found throughout the lobby of the convention center. Any changes, corrections and additions to the programming will be listed in this. Very important. --Always loving triple check where your camera is whenever leaving or entering a room: I don't care if it's always around you neck, check it anyways.  Bring a backpack! Even if you don't plan on buying much, you very well may get caught up in the insanity, say "gently caress it" and end up doing so. And even if you do have self-control, you could still end up with a poo poo ton of free items. It's easy to get weighted down in no time. Carrying a heavy bag all day could be hell on your hands and arms. If you really don't feel like bringing a backpack, Comic Con will give you complimentary big bag (that are like three and a half feet deep and can be worn like a giant man purse or sometimes as a backpack). Or get one from from Tokyopop, Dark Horse or others. They always seem to be offering them. Rolling backpacks/suitcases/trolleys are not allowed on the floor.Things you should have in your bag
 Line CampingHere's Comic-Con's rules for overnight camping
[*]New for 2014: Hall H requires a wristband for the first panel of the day. Wristband distribution ends at 1am and resumes at 5am. If you do not have a wristband, you do not get into the first panel in Hall H. --Here's the breakdown for line camping in 2014. --There are two lines: one for Hall H, one for everything else. --The line to Hall H starts at the east end of the convention center and can wind up all the way out in Seaport Village. Lines start the night before - no kidding. 2013 saw campers as early as 7PM. In 2012, Ian McKellan showed up at midnight to say hi to everyone in line for The Hobbit. Stephen Moffat did the same thing in 2013 for those waiting for Doctor Who. --Security will randomly condense the line at any time of the night. Be prepared to pack up your area quickly. --Around 6am, the line will really condense as the tents clear up from the Exhibit Hall line. --There was one line for getting into everything inside the Convention Center. The line will start around Hall E. It will lead over to the tents at Hall H and begin to snake around there. Around 6am, this line will go inside the convention center and up the escalators. --From here the line breaks out to the Ballroom 20 line, the Sails Pavilion (for exclusives or autographs), the meeting rooms and the Exhibit Hall. The Exhibit Hall line starts at the escalators over Hall G and leads around the hallway towards Ballroom 20. Around 9:15, the line will open everyone can go down to the Exhibit Hall. --If you try to get in via the front, you will still be forced to go in at Hall E and up the escalators. If you head towards the down escalators near Hall C, you will be turned away. You will also notice tape blocking off the stairs. At 9:20, this tape will come down. This doesn't give you much, if any, of an advantage over those entering via Hall G.  Exhibit Hall--If you're hunting exclusives, make a plan. Study the exhibit map so you're not going back and forth. --Some exclusives will require you getting a ticket upstairs at the Sails Pavilion. You need to be there at 8am, so camp the line. --Tickets for autographs are also given away at the Sails Pavilion. Again: 8am, camp. --If you missed that limited edition Pinkie Pie you had your heart set on, try again the next day. Vendors set aside a certain amount so they can sell them each day. The biggest allotments are typically on Saturday. --What? That's stupid advice. Your best bet for exclusives is obviously Preview Night. --Preview Night is crazy. Tickets are not required, so exclusive hunters are in line at 8am, if not earlier. --Some booths will have a different freebie item for each day at the convention. Marvel, Cartoon Network and Lionsgate are the prime examples. --Like posters? Get a postertube in advance, especially one that is telescopic. Don't count on the giveaway tubes like the ones at the Fox booth, they may be tiny. --Nearly every booth will have a line. Ask around to find the end. Don't form a mob. Most lines will be capped. Hang out at a nearby booth and be ready to jump in line when it opens. --Keep moving if you find yourself in a mob. Move to the side if you're trying to take a picture. --If you want good photos of the booths, hang out right before the exhibit hall closes when the floor is less packed. --Prices will drop on Sunday all over the exhibit floor. Some booths start dropping their prices on Saturday. They don't want to lug all their poo poo back home and are set on selling it. The hot items could sell out before any price drops, though. --Visit the independents and spend some money. Sometimes the phrase 'starving artist' isn't just a phrase. --DON'T TRUST THE BOOTH WORKERS IF YOU WANT TO GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM A SPECIAL GUEST. 90% of the time they want you out of the way and will say anything. --Sometimes they will hand out special passes to get autographs...keep your eyes open for these. --Make use of the bag check. Located in the lobby for when you can't haul all your stuff. --Comic-Con's rules for cosplay: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/costumes --Be nice to the cosplayers...compliment the good ones and ask for a picture before taking it. Thank them as well. Or watch this educational video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2Df2AihAao  The Programming Roomshttp://www.visitsandiego.com/resources/Floorplans2010/overview.gif --Hall H is where the big poo poo goes down. Hollywood basically plants itself there for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Studios do some big reveals at their Hall H presentations and often show exclusive footage nobody else will see before a film's release. --They do not clear the room after each event. People leave as they wish. So even if you are 1000th in line to a room that holds 6500 or so, you may not get in to the panel you want to see. --For a nearby fix, there's a Starbucks across the street at the Hilton Bayfront. Be ready for another long line. The Hilton has some other stores and typcially a food stand out front as well. --Kevin Smith usually does a 90 to 120 minute Q&A in Hall H on at the end of Friday or Saturday. --If anything Twilight related happens, pray you don't want to go to the panel before or after it. And god help your hearing. --The big studios never show up on Sunday, so televison programming takes over. Don't expect the lines to be any shorter. --Ballroom 20 seats about 4200 and is the next biggest room and is basically there for all the huge poo poo they couldn't squeeze into a time slot for Hall H. Network TV shows usually have their panels here. --The line for Ballroom 20 starts near the center of the convention center on the upper floor. It leads along the East Terrace, snakes around outside under some tents and then back down a giant staircase. Last year Ballroom 20 featured the longest lines. Look at these freaking lines:  --The Masquerade is held here Saturday night around 8PM. This is the big show where people show off their costumes and maybe perform a dance or skit. You actually need a ticket to get into this. If you plan on attending, be prepared to wait in a very long line. The crazies start lining up first thing Saturday morning and it appears to get worse every year. People will walk the line later in the day and hand you tickets around 2PM. If you missed out, there is a viewing area in the Sails Pavilion with snacks if you still want to watch. Also, there is always a rave afterwards. While this caters to the under 18 crowd, booze is sold for the older folk.  If you want to be in the Masquerade: http://www.comic-con.org/cci/masqueradeDeadline for entry is July 1. There are prizes out the wazoo and include 4-day badges for Comic-Con 2014 --The Indigo Ballroom seats about 2500. It is located out east beyond Hall H at the Hilton Bayfront. The line often goes outside the back entrance along the boardwalk. Head straight there instead of going to the front entrance to line up for early programming. --Television panels are here as well. Adult Swim camps out the room on Fridays. --Room 6 is on the west end of the upper floors. Programming is divided into 3 rooms. The big one seats 2000, the other two about 500. Programming is more hosed up than the bigger rooms, since some programs with massive fanbases could get lumped in here, so be ready for big lines. The lines get split up as they head outside. --Comics, animation and cable television make up the bulk of the programming in these rooms, although you could be sitting in for a panel about gay vampires in literature. --Typically, the better of Comic-Con's night programming is held here, including Kung Fu marathons, Worst Cartoons Ever, Klingon lifestyles, and Spike & Mike's Sick and Twisted programs. --The Marriott Marina hosts Comic-Con events as well. The lobby has a Starbucks. Upstairs has the gaming room for your Magic&D&D addiction, a Con Suite with free snacks and sodas and a films room. Nintendo usually has a big room to itself next to the lobby. At the far west you can find the Fulfillment Room to redeem your swag tickets as well as the anime screening rooms.  Panel tips--Remember, rooms do not require clearance between panels and people are welcome to camp out as long as they wish. --Plan your day. You wont get to see everything you want, so be realistic. --Comic-Con will put up a page, with corresponding mobile app, for people to mark down what panels they want to see. This should give you an idea of how popular a panel will be. Plan against this. --You will have to camp the previous event or two, even if they don't interest you, just to be on the safe side. --Check twitter. Searches for #HallHline or #Ballroom20 will give you an idea of how long the lines might be. --Once you're inside a room for a panel remember these things:
Need more tips? Read this: http://www.comicsreporter.com/index.php/comic_con_by_the_numbers_170_tips_for_attending_cci_2013/ *will add more to this section as I think about it or as other Goons make good points*    Eating, Drinking, Dining gently caress the vendors in the convention center. The prices are steep and the food is lame. The quantities aren't even good. Downtown San Diego is full of choices in all price ranges. Something for everyone. Ralph's | Map Make the most of your money and shop at the Ralph's, a brief walk from the convention center. Either hoard up on preview night or make this your first stop every day. There's a full service deli, salad bar, hot foods and plenty of ready made items. You can find everything you need, and for good prices. You can get a whole meal at their deli for what it costs to get a goddamned PRETZEL at the convention center, and it's not crap food either. It's also the cheapest place to get booze. Open 24 hours, so come here if you're camping a line. $ Subway | Map Notable for being open 24 hours. Be wary of long lines. $ Food Truck | Map Behind the convention center, this food truck shows up Thursday thru Sunday from 8am to 6pm. Usually found next to the elevator near where the Embarcadero meets Marina Park Way. Great for breakfast or lunch while you're stuck in a line. They have Mexican Coke. Best alternative to con food if you don't want to travel far. $ Horton Plaza | Map Typical mall food for your penny pinching palette. Have fun getting lost in the levels as you try to get to the food court at the top. $ Seaport Village | Map Touristy spot with similar food options. Have your meal with a great view of the bay. $-$$ The Tin Fish | Map Across the street from the convention center, near the trolley station across the intersection from Lou & Mickey's. Varied seafood items, commonly served with really loving good fries, tartar sauce and other sides. Portions are huge and the food is super tasty. Haven't been in a while but I think prices range from $8 - $15 or something like that. Sometimes they've got musicians hanging out and playing some tunes. Be wary of the massive crowds on 5th street. $ Nicky Rottens|Map Big delicious burgers. What more could you want. Not too expensive. $$ Hodads | Map Burgers as big as your head. Right next to the 10th Avenue Theater. $ Fillipi's Pizza Grotto | Map The best Pizza in San Diego. Hands down. Huge, hefty, delicious. Recommended is meatball or sausage with onions and bell peppers. They also offer the usual variety of Italian cuisine. A bit far away, so make take a cab. $$ The Old Spaghetti Factory | Map It's back! Great atmospheric place that obviously serves great spaghetti, among many other Italian classics. Really good prices, really nice portions. Tough to beat that. The mizithra cheese and browned butter dish is great for those of you not big on classic red sauces. White clam sauce is great as well. Sausages and meatballs are very hearty. They do not take reservations or call-ahead and it's one of the most popular places downtown, so you may have to wait a bit for a seat. Pretty sure they have a bar now since re-opening a few months ago, so you can kill time there while waiting. $ Sammy's Woodfire Pizza | Map Plenty of options including gluten-free pizza. Recommended is the brie and truffle oil pizza. $$ Lou & Mickey's | Map Steakhouse and seafood located directly across the street from the convention center. One of the best restaurants I've ever been to, but it is very expensive. Semi-formal, but they're pretty cool and probably expect casual attire a lot during CCI week. $$$ Rei do Gado | Map People continuously approach your table with meat speared on hot stainless steel rods and a large knife. If you want some, they carve it on to your loving plate and you loving eat it. It's like being Denethor in Return of the King. You eat entire animals and know that elsewhere, people are dying. They have filet mignon wrapped in bacon. Pricey as gently caress. $$$ The Field | Map Authentic as gently caress Irish pub. The interior was literally shipped here from Ireland. An old pub was torn down and people pretty much broke it down into pieces and brought it here. You'll find a pint of Guinness poured finer here than anywhere else in the city. They also have food. Not as good as it used to be. $$ C-Level | Map Located on Harbor Island. Modern California cuisine and atmosphere. Slightly pricey, depending on who you ask. $15-$30 per entree. Get outdoor seating right on the water for a killer view of the bay bridge and the city's skyline. I recommend the crusted brie, lobster and truffle mac 'n' cheese, lobster and fontina BLT, Kobe beef burger, and the sorbet trio. $$$ The Noble Experiment | Map Hidden behind a burger/microbrew joint is this speakeasy style bar. Reservations must be made a week in advance. $12-$15 for some well crafted drinks. The Yard House | Map "World's Largest Selection of Draft Beers." They really do have a gently caress ton. And the staff are generally good at recommending you some nice ones based on your preferences, so talk to them. Killer food, too. Not the cheapest, though. Range is something like $10 - $30 for a vast selection of entrees. This isn't an institution exclusive to San Diego, but it's a unique quality experience nonetheless. $$ DO NOT GO to Kansas City BBQ. It was in Top Gun 30 years ago. So what. The food sucks and the beer is awful. BREAKFASTS: Richard Walker's Pancake House | Map Never been there myself, but everyone raves about it. If you're in the mood for breakfast dishes, this is the place to go in downtown San Diego. Get there early, there's always a line. $$ The Broken Yolk Cafe | Map- BIG food at small prices - American/Mexican Dishes. Absolutely one of the best places to get your breakfast grub on. And for you fit fucks, everything is made to order and can have healthier substitutes while still eating heartily. Oh yea, this was the place they featured on the MAN VS FOOD IRONMAN CHALLENGE. (It's a dozen egg omelet filled with mushrooms, onions, and American cheese, smothered with chili and more cheese, served on a 15 inch pizza pan with a generous pile of home fries and two biscuits in case you were wondering). gently caress Denny's, go here. Last year this place was taken over by The Hub. $ Cafe 21 | Map - Crazy lil place dedicated to serving unique but classic foods. Breakfast can be traditional or very nontraditional. Cast Iron Skillet Omlettes loaded with meats/seafood. Crepes, stuffed french toast. Oh and the best damned Bloody Mary's you will ever drink. $ If anyone else has dining or drinking recommendations, speak up and I'll add it to this section. -----    Goon contact information For goonmeets, holding places in lines, announcing how cool a panel was, awesome merch scored or how long the line for starbucks is, etc. If anyone wants me to put their contact info here, I will do so. I won't list it without your consent (even if you include it in a post in the thread). So if you want to network with Goons at the con, include in your post that you want your info listed here. ----- So, that's it. I'll be updating the OP as more information becomes available. In the meantime, this is a great place for noobs to ask questions and for veterans to answer. If you have any helpful words, please speak up and I'll add them to the OP. Talk about meeting up, your plans, etc. And if you're exhibiting at the con, speak up so I can add your info to the OP.

New year, new prices! http://robot6.comicbookresources.com/2014/01/comic-con-international-to-sell-only-single-day-badges/ It's now $200 for all 4 days + preview night ($165 w/o) and there's no more four day passes, it's all individual days. I like to think this is because they think people will only pick the days they want rather than the four day but when they made the four day cost as much as buying individually that didn't change poo poo, this won't either. People will get the four day pass "just in case" there's something they want to do on another day.

They also probably realized they don't need to actually give discounts because we will stand in line for hours and jump through any loving hoops they decide to put.

They realized that like 3 years ago. They know they'll sell out so why entice people with a discount for showing up all four days when you can gouge up the price on everything year after year. When I started attending 7 years ago, I think I paid $50 (might've been $75) for a four day pass. Although, I guess even at $200 it's still got exceptional value.

RevKrule posted:New year, new prices! In theory, the whole "buy the days you want" only works when people are given that information ahead of time. Since the schedule of panels and events isn't finalized and posted till about a week or two before, people have no clue what is happening when. So yeah, there's still going to be a massive rush to get Friday and Saturday badges.

So if you can't get a 4 day pass anymore, are you going to get a badge for each day? Because christ that's going to be annoying. Not to mention I'll have to pick up 12 badges if that were to be the case.

Not to mention I'll have to pick up 12 badges if that were to be the case. From http://www.comic-con.org/cci/2014-cci-badge-preregistration: New for 2014! Only single day badges will be sold. The Preview Night badge option may only be purchased if you buy a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday badge. Preview Night is not a stand alone badge option. As in 2013, anyone who purchases a Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday badge will have the option of consolidating them into one 4-Day badge onsite.

Not to mention I'll have to pick up 12 badges if that were to be the case. The site says you can convert the 4 single day passes into a 4-day pass at pickup. They are just no longer having X 4day passes and Y single day passes available for sale when orders open. Its a positive change in that respect.

Interesting changes. Seems like it'll work fine, but as Jack Skeleton said, I don't really see people changing their habits of just purchasing all days to be safe because the schedule isn't known this far in advance (nor do I expect it to be).

I know I'm not changing my buying habits. As many days as I can get. I'm getting a weird premonition that my luck has finally run out and I won't get passes this year. Oh well, que sera sera.

My brother and I have been fortunate enough to get passes for all four days whenever we've tried. Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind if they simply used a lotto system for tickets. Just keep the registration page open for a week and let luck decide who gets what.

Also, take note of this:quote:If you are eligible to participate in badge preregistration, please be aware that the Member ID system will be closing temporarily next week, and when it reopens you will not be able to make any changes to your account until after the preregistration sale is complete. This means that you must review and make changes (if needed) to your Membership Type, email, or other critical contact information prior to the Member ID system closing sometime the week of January 27, 2014. Today is the 27th, so if you need to adjust any info, hurry.

I must say that I am feeling very conflicted this year. First, I'm getting a weird premonition that my luck has finally run out (hell, last year I even scored every Nerd HQ panel I wanted). Second, I really should save the money. On the other hand, it's Comic-Con. I'm half hoping this lottery clusterfuck (you know it will be) will save me from making a hard decision.

If we get hosed on the prereg lottery I imagine they would let us try for open reg, yeah? This kind of sucks for people who go to cosplay troupe and what have you. Lowering the number of badges you can buy to 3 is awkward, too.

Well, I *did* say that I wouldn't mind them switching to a lottery system, but... Why does it have to be so convoluted? When Masters tickets are made available, they give people MONTHS to throw their name into a hat, and then later on they email those who were lucky enough to be chosen to purchase tickets. A goddamn "randomized waiting room?"

Am I the only one who thinks it sounds like a double lottery? It sounds like you have a lottery for what time you can log in and then when you log in there's another lottery for where in line you are.

Well, everyone has an infinitesimally greater chance of getting passes now. I've decided not to go this year. Primarily it's monetary. I could afford it but I have to adjust my priorities for reasons I don't feel like going into.

I am interested in going but I didn't go last year. Hopefully there will be tickets left when they do public registration.

The Marriott, with the dumb-gently caress prices I paid last year, is already booked the whole week. Is this the norm and did I luck out last year by getting a room only a couple months before the Con?

$2,600 give or take (around $600~ a night plus taxes) through Marriott's site, I never signed up for the lottery. I guess I lucked right the gently caress out?

Well, I got my pro pass + guest. Although the guest pass wasn't free. They were sold out, despite registering within the minute  .I don't even know if I'll be able to go this year. But it's possible to get a refund. I really hope I can go though. Really love SD and the people I know there.

Could you tell if you had to go through the same lottery process the rest of us will have to go through?

I also got my pro badge, and I managed to grab a free guest badge too. I went in right at 10, didn't have any problems at all. Also had no indication of any lottery, though I figured that was for the regular badges? Maybe I just lucked out, but it was the easiest time I've had for badges by far. So stoked!

It took me nearly 15 minutes to get my badges (two free one paid) because the system was freaking out when I tried placing the order because it lost my information. I had to refresh the page and go through all of the steps but it when through without a hitch that time.

More registration lottery details http://www.comic-con.org/toucan/registration-codes-decoded edit: If I'm reading this right, here's how it will go down
You can buy more than 3 if you're well coordinated. Dr Tran fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Jan 30, 2014 |

But I'm not gonna complain about it, it's the first time I ever had to pay anything.
