Welcome to the forums, Mel! I'm glad you decided to join as a member of our online community. It's always nice to have to new people add to the experience and to the plethora of information we have here.Woo-hoo! Another S.D. local! (I'm an S.D. local, and every year, I thank the lords and ladies of Comic-Con International that I don't have to worry about hotel space. Hahahahahaha!)^__~
Thanks, Zero! We really are lucky we don't have to worry about hotel! I wouldn't be able to afford it if we did. Everything about attending I feel grateful for it....from just having a badge to not having to travel, it's all amazingly good fortune!
I've always just taken the trolley. The special passes they have for SDCC are a cool keepsake. I have gotten on at the SDSU stop and the trains aren't packed yet so I always find a seat to chill out on the way in and it's so much fun to watch all the different people cosplaying board the train on your way!
Oh, yeah! I've gotten the special passes for the trolley before. They're cool, ha ha.I actually live rather far away from the nearest trolley station. It takes about 1 hour minutes by bus to the closest trolley station (two bus transfers plus waiting time for the buses to arrive), and if I stay past 8:00 pm at con, I won't be able to make it back on the bus in time to get home. >__<;
Where do you live? You could always drive in and park for free at Qualcomm and board the trolley there. It's still relatively early on the route. A lot of people board there. Trolley passes for all days are $20 I believe which is cheaper than parking, unless there is more than one of you then after about 3 trolley passes you are in the pricing territory of parking downtown.
Yes, from what I remember from previous years, the trolley passes are usually $20 for five days ($16 for four days). In my group of friends, yes, there is more than three of us. Plus, some of us are volunteers, so we like to get to the convention center very early and park there. *laughs* As for where I live, I'm in the La Jolla area.
Yeah, if you are carpooling more than 3, doesn't make sense to trolley. Trolley does run pretty early. If we catch the earlier one from here, which we did last year we got to the CC a little after 5am. Not too bad! I signed up to volunteer, hoping to be able to do it pre-con since I already have a 4-Day badge.
Hi everybody! Hi Dr. Nick!I've been lurking for a while now, but I've finally decided to delurk. My name is Michelle, and I'm from the San Francisco Bay Area. I've attended SDCC twice (2009 & 2011), and after a few years off, I'd like to try to get to SDCC 2014. And I really hope that the forum will help me with that once the general sale begins, which is the main reason I've decided to register. My main interests are Doctor Who (note the username ) Sleepy Hollow, The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, and just good genre TV in general. I'm also a huge comic book geek and a novice cosplayer. Nice to meet you all!
And I see that you're a Simpsons fan as well! Hi Michelle! I'm from the Bay Area too! There are a bunch of us around here.If you PM Batgirl, you can join a badge buying group for general registration, which should help you out. And you should find all other kinds of helpful advice around the site!
Welcome to the forums, Michelle! ^__^/ (Yes, I totally noticed the username, ha ha.) Keeping up with the forums is definitely a good idea to get help and information on badge sales, hotels, and the like. Start with the You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login section, if you haven't already. You can also check out the thread linked in my signature, which has a lot of good links from various parts of the forums as well.
Hi Michelle! Looks like you might be a Bravest Warriors fan too! Wishing you luck in the General Registration! Everything is ok!!
This forum has been very informative and I am glad to have found this wonderful community!
