Even though I was fortunate to get my parking passes this year, additional obstacles year after year is making me sad about sdcc.  Hard to see people in social media getting all enraged about it too #firstworldproblems

I actually miss the days of sdcc in the 90s and it sucks to see an influx of more rude people, obstacles to logistics, and less cosplay being a cosplayer myself.

With that, I still have some friends without parking passes.  If I wanted to help them out, would I be able to buy a pass with the same credit card/email info as my pass?  I'm just worried it would invalidate both passes since there was a warning on their screen about people "scalping" passes would invalidate it (not sure how they would catch this, but the easiest way i can think of is to see an email/credit card buy multiple passes)

During the parking pass fiasco last week, I submitted multiple requests in different browser windows, trying to get any of my requests to go through -- as you all know, the servers were randomly bouncing most but accepting some few.  I was eventually successful in purchasing parking, and as I was closing my browser windows I saw that one of my requests had been rejected on the grounds that I had already purchased parking.  So, I think they check their database before they will sell more than one parking space to you.  I did not try to use my husband's name/email/credit card to purchase a second parking space so I don't know how picky they are about address, etc.

Note:  I had to provide make, model, color and the license plate number of my car on the parking request form.  Failing to include this info caused my first "accepted" request to bounce and I had to go running outside to get it then try again (and again, and again, and again, and so on.)  However, there is also a "rental car" box that can be checked which avoids the need for specific car info.

At a minimum, you should get your friends' email addresses ahead of time.  As far as payment goes, it is my wild guess (so don't put too much stock in this) that you would be ok with using your credit card and your friend pays you back.

I bought 2 different sets of parking passes for 2 different friends. I used the same cc info for each set, but different names and email addresses. This morning both email addresses received confirmations.

So I'm guessing they track 'duplicate' passes by name or email address, *not* cc number.

Gee how often does this happen?  I got to the site right as they were putting everything online!  First Checked the Ace site saw the link, clicked it but the same Site Temp down message was there.  Tried again a couple minutes later and there everything was!  Lol!  Great Timing!

Welcome Ireladd...and thanks!

I PM'ed the link also but I was a bit behind. Thanks for the PM's. Weird that I didn't get an email about them. I just happened to check the site. Got my parking in campus lot. Looks like everything but the convention is still available.
