I'm open to accepting a Group 3 from anybody if you find anything better.  I only need parking for Saturday and Sunday (maybe also Friday).  I just have a Sunday badge this year.

Lets see how it group 1 sale plays out. I'm not confident on the size of the groups or the amount of spaces offered.

Don't i have ever been skunked this bad before by ACE.  I really think they held back parking for the general sale.  Its the only thing that can explain how so few people seem to get anything.  I also remember during the last SDCC parking sale even group two was getting under con parking which had never happened before.

I got a group 2 and 3. I only did 3 requests so I figured I had no chance but parking gods are a strange bunch!

I honestly feel like even with group 3 you will still have a good chance.

I got all group 4, oof.

Edit: I honestly don't want under the con parking, I've heard it's a massive pain to get out of during peak times. I usually aim for HBF parking structure parking.

Anyone checkout yet?  What's the convenience fee?

Sale doesn't open to group 1 until June 20th, so we still don't know the convenience fee. If I'm recalling right though, it was like $7/day at one point though (or am I mixing this up with something else... I feel like it's pretty steep though considering.)

Yet another edit: I would go check my prior parking passes, but I'm fairly certain they went to a defunct email address...

It's hard telling: sometimes a lot of people on a forum just get cruddy luck.  Sometimes I've gotten really lucky w/this, sometimes I strike out.  This year I've unfortunately struck out: I hope that I get lucky with help here, especially with a little one who plans his whole year around Comic-Con (down to outfits!). 
We'll see :-X

I haven’t used Ace Parking with a rental car before, does the purchase site ask for make/model or car and license plate? What would you enter for a rental car?

We went in a rental car one year and it was no problem. I believe they do ask you for details about your car, but I just listed our usual vehicle and figured I would explain it to the parking attendant if they asked. But no one ever questioned it.

To follow up on this, their FAQ says that once you know the car info to update the car info in your online SpACE account/website. I'm pretty sure I ended up using a different care one year than one I registered with and it wasn't questioned at all though. It does seem a bit ridiculous with the number of people who come in from out of town and may not know what license plate until the day of sometimes...

it's not just us
the facebook group also got less then they expected

ace has changed their formula. We just need to figure out the new formula. The spaces won't go empty, the question is how will they be distributed.

I got lucky; one Group 1 and 3 “not selected.” I’m relieved, my dad’s in his eighties so I’m hoping to avoid a super long walk at the beginning of our days.

The 2019 parking thread mentions $7.95 for the convenience fee. So somewhere around there? We'll know more next Monday!

I've heard about 2 winners for group 1's, a couple of group 2's, and a fair amount of group 3's

I wonder if each group is equally sized. Guess we'll find out over the next few weeks.

I know 5 winners of Group 1 and all of them submitted their email addresses either on Thursday afternoon or Friday morning last week.
