This will be my first year as a Pro and I'm confused. Do I get my pass first, and then try for the guest pass?

Any word on a date for pro registration? I got the email that said it was 'just around the corner" but with SDCC that could mean anywhere from "next weekend" to "two months from now."

I'm just waiting for pro registration. I'm anxious because I'd really like to get one of the complimentary passes for my buddy who otherwise won't be able to make it. He can help me hand out swag and then go fetch me lattes.

Axel Serenity posted:Even if you're Trade (Creative Pro tix are reserved), I doubt they will run out of badges unless you claim, like, the week before the Con. The randomized selection system is likely to control Guest passes, which do sell out and, at least in L.A., are one of the most popular ways of getting badges without going through O.R. When you say that creative pro fix are reserved, does that mean we're guaranteed a four-day pass? Also, how does one go about getting swag onto the freebie table?

Got my guest his complimentary pass. Woohoo! I am flat amazed at how painless that was.

I'm bookmarking that restaurant for future reference. It sounds promising. Am bummed out because I've just learned that the freebie table is only open to panel participants and exhibitors. So I guess I'll be one of those obnoxious people standing outside the con handing out my swag (maybe it would help if I did it in my Phantom of the Paradise outfit).

I'm worried about putting all my eggs in one basket. If all my choices are downtown hotels and I don't get any, I'm out of luck. Should I pick four downtown and two elsewhere hotels?

The Westgate is 7 blocks away and very nice. A little foofy in its decor but the staff are very nice.

The PDF lists the distance from each hotel to the convention center. Basically anything a mile and under is walk-able (though if you're in cumbersome cosplay the shuttle is an option).

Just a little over 3 minutes for me as it took a minute for the page to load. I put four downtowns, one airport and one Mission Valley, and told them to put me on any that had a shuttle if those weren't available. At least we should hear back within the next couple days.

Question for the trade pros. When do you usually know what booth number you will have? A bookseller buddy of mine has graciously offered to have some copies of one of my books at his booth. I'm going to be handing out postcards and would like to say "Get your copy now at Awesome Bookseller, Booth 1234!"

Haven't heard anything yet, and I'm hoping that means no news is good news (the SDCC Unofficial Blog says the "no luck" emails go out first).

My choices weren't available so they put me at the Comfort Inn and Suites Zoo Seaworld. At least it's on the shuttle.

If I take what they gave me, can I still keep an eye out and see if something better opens up?

Cool. I've been lucky and had downtown hotels my other times, and I'm Creative Pro now so I figure karma balances out now by being a bit further away. It will make my cosplay day a bit of a pain but I'll worry about that when the time comes.

I figure the biggest pain for me will be arrival/departure. When we get to the train station (note to self, make Amtrak ressies soon) we'll cab it to the hotel, then hit the shuttle back to the convention center to check in, have an early dinner, and get some stuff at Ralph's, then shuttle it back to the hotel. The shuttles running 24 hours make a big difference.

So how does the hotel resale on the 8th work? I've got a hotel but I'd like to try for something a bit closer in.

This should be interesting. Maybe the "SDCC should move to LA" crowd will go to Wondercon, see how boring the LA Convention Center is and how nasty the surrounding area can be, and realize that San Diego's pretty nice after all.

IS there a hotel resale tomorrow? I haven't heard a thing, and I'm afraid to touch anything with my existing ressie for fear of messing it up and being left high and dry.

If you try to get anything in the resale, do you have to give up what you already have? (Sorry for the stupid questions, it's my first time when I haven't had a hotel in downtown.)

I actually got the page and put in a search for Town and Country, but after I hit search everything crapped out completely. I'll keep on until 9:30 and then I'm saying "gently caress it".

I actually got through and thought I had a room at Town and Country. It kept stopping dead after I submitted my credit card info, so I called and the guy at travel planners said it was because one of the four nights it said it was available wasn't. This is such a complete and total clusterfuck.

gently caress this. I'm sticking with what I've got, and at this point I don't trust Travel Planners to not charge my card for rooms I didn't finish booking because they said it was available four nights when it was only available three.

Checking Travel Planners' site pays off. I just saw that a room opened up at Town and Country and snagged that (I had a room in Mission Valley but Town and Country is nicer, cheaper, and has a better time on the shuttle).

Soarer posted:It's also where they do badge pick up, and is across from the first stop on the bus so you can get off and just cross the street. That entered into my decision as well.

When does badge pickup start on Preview Night? I'm a Creative Pro and I'm staying at the Town and Country. Trying to figure out which train to catch to get there in time.

Cool, thanks. One more question - how late does badge pickup go till on Preview Night?
