So, I didn't even get tix to SDCC but have a hotel and people who got tix to SDCC don't have a hotel? Wanna swap?>>>>


Saw this on Twitter. Why are people without Comic Con tickets getting hotels through this system?

It was the MMM. 

I was nervous cause i made a few goofs on the form with my email address by putting a comma instead of a period.  I stayed here last year and it was amazing!

Just got email with confirmation for my accidental first choice, the Embassy Suites (Bayview King). It was meant to be 2nd choice with Embassy CityView as the 1st ($40 cheaper a night), but we're obviously pleased.

We've stayed at Embassy Suites in Temecula the last two years and the drive back after our Hall H day (including camp out the night before, obv) was pretty horrible. Normally an hr drive wouldn't bother me, but staying awake was such a difficult struggle. Glad for a spot right down by the craziness.

The other is the
Holiday Inn San Diego Bayside

is there another email we get once the payment is processed? ive used the link on the email and logged in. then i added my credit card information to the guarantee thing (which is confusing itself because at first i had no idea where to add my card). i did get an email right after i hit save and now the guarantee type says my credit card but i dont think ive been charged yet.

I just wanted to thank Jopari for putting this thread together. Even though there was a lot of pressure and many unexpected circumstances occurred, I still felt at ease filling out the form because of the information and preparation skills listed here. In fact, my entire group of four was able to score FOUR downtown hotel rooms and give away three on the exchange. So thank you to Jopari and everyone else who offered their advice!  :)
