RSA EDIT: Stickied

 

*bump*

 

Steph and I wan't to go for 2 day's, but we got to wait until the date gets closer. We have some busy days this summer with her photo and my film.

 

OK, as long as you are reminding me I went ahead and purchased my pass. I figure worse case scenario you can get refunds up until June.

I just wish the hotel situation was not so stressful each year

 

i'm buying my comic con and wonder con tix tomorrow. let's all keep an eye open for hotel/air packages.

 

to follow up on my last post. i just checked southwest airlines vacation package prices and on JANUARY 9TH the flight schedules (along with hotel availablities )will be made available. I suggest putting in a reminder the night before to make any accomodations.

 

southwest vacations are up now for comic con season! since no one really posted about chipping in for a room or vacation i thought i'd start.i'm gonna book my reservation either tonight or tomorrow bc rooms will fill up fast! already they have some major hotels blocked off the list!!

 

Check Virgin Air. $39 each way. They start posting SFO to SAN on 2/12/08.

thanks lou! i'll give Virgin Air a try!

 

Hotels open up Feb. 6.

 

just ordered my comic con tix!

 

motel 6 in downtown san diego sold out already for comic con..darn!! there is one close to the sd airport 1.8 miles away from the con center.

 

Anyone else find some hotel options? I saw the Pacific Inn 1.5 miles away for $239.95 per person (4 people).

 

WHAT THE FLIP!!!!

 

i suggest that we all start looking for hotels now bc the feb 6th block of hotels opening won't be any cheaper and will be even harder to get. i wish i didn't wait too long on that motel 6 reservation. now it's gone and will have to resort to the other motel 6.

 

They will be cheaper. Just harder to get.

 

I agree. Everyone who plans on going look for some taking reservations now and book rooms, before Feb. 6. Just book them to hold the rooms for us. Don't wait, becuase like Kevin said, they'll be gone sooner than you know it. After that, we can see what everyone got, and take the best option.

Agreed?

 

i just tried making a motel reservation for the "airport" motel 6 and it's all sold out now too! options are getting very limited as we speak!! if we're serious about going we all gotta search now!

 

Has anyone tried one of these?

sorry that the link didn't show up. i went to travelworm.com. did a subsearch on san diego, then there was a pulldown menu at the top for "convention center". the hotel i chose was 500 west broadway. for wednesday july 23rd to july 27th (4 nights) the total was $369.72. the dorm type room has a "community bathroom" and is located about 1.3 miles away from the convention center and 2.6 miles away from the san diego airport which makes it semi convenient. online it only allows single occupancy reservations. double would require you to call them directly. if it's cheaper to go with max occupancy per room i can cancel my reservation and chip in with others.

 

www.500westhotelsd.com is the main website. i tried booking 2-4 person occupancy however it didn't have any rooms available. i think the only bet would be to book single occupancies for now. i talked to the main desk just now and they said the con center is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel. the place looks really nice!! hopefully we can all get rooms at this place! for now check out the website. it doesn't hurt to book now bc rooms will go fast!!

 

Dale and I got a 1 bed room each. Total came to $557.13 from July 23-28.

 

I booked rooms at the Quality Inn on Delbergia Court at $127.99 a night for 5 nights for 4 people. It's about 6 miles away.
