I have to think the fact that it's still open is due to cci not offering PV nite to all volunteers- there's a lot less incentive to work a shift if folks don't get into PV nite.
Come to think of it, there was considerably more time involved than the 3 hour shift, even though I had a pre-con shift. Somehow my paperwork was not entered into the system (along with hundreds of others, I believe), and we had to keep coming back to see if we were in the system so we could get our free day. Not fun.Perhaps some tweaking of the system is in order to make it more attractive. It would be great to be able to get more than one day's shift at a time. I thought that is the way they did it some years back. Anybody remember? I truly thought you could be assigned to an area and work that area throughout the convention.
Yeah, agreed. It used to fill up in minutes. It's also super inconvenient to volunteer. While yes, technically it's just a 3 hour commitment each day, you have to hike all the way over there, wait in a line, get an assignment for a time you might not want. Hike back to be early for your shift. Work your shift. Hike back to check out and get another assignment. It really does eat a lot of your day and prevents you from doing a lot of things you might want to do, depending how you do Con. I volunteer one shift every year b/c it's just something I like to do, but I wouldn't want to do it every day, for sure.
Well considering I didn't think volunteering got me into PV night anyways, it's no loss for me. Seriously, didn't they say last year that volunteers only got into PV night if they paid for PV night?
Yes. That began with (at least) the 2016 show...but many people apparently didn't get the memo.
I was given the option to do preview nite as volunteer but skipped the option, they said none about having a badge for it though.
Due to capacity limits at the San Diego Convention Center, Daily Volunteersmay not attend Preview Night unless they purchase an attendee badge thatincludes Preview Night.
This was on the first page of the volunteer acceptance packet, in bold. I am also pretty sure it was also mentioned with similar emphasis on the website then, although that's long gone.
Ugh, I totally forgot to log on during priority volunteer lol. I just wanted to volunteer one shift to get the tshirt.
At least with last year, you didn't miss out on much. It was the worst shirt I've gotten at SDCC, since I started volunteering. It was just so plain and boring I thought. Maybe this year's will be better.
I volunteered last year. That's what I am worried about, that this year the shirt will be awesome lol.
I got the shirt last year and wasnt fussy since was first time so like souvenior going to con and helping to go everyday. not sure how they decide the design but yea be cool if was more creative then before. i guess they had better volunteer shirts in the past but i dont know last year was first time lol. so guess gotta wait and see. saw the shirts for the con and thought they was creative but price a bit hi so maybe get one this year if want bad enough to spend so much for a shirt. wonder if they ever sold shirts cheaper so not have so much back stock kinda or do they just donate or whatever after the con? that would be cool if had any old ones to buy that never sold so u can enjoy and say u gone but not that year but have gone in past. saw a badge recent showed i had chance go a saturday back in early 2k when u had write ur name on sticker then they added it to a badge for u lol , those was the days before the event got crazy and hard to get badges.
