On that note for a similar idea. You can consider airport, secure parking structures that are quite cheap if you're not staying overnight OR even overnight (say if you need two cars but your hotel only lets you get one spot). Use that and then lyft/uber/taxi over to the con/your hotel. One of my group did that once. It was like $15/nightly, not sure what a day rate would be.

That’s a great idea!
🔥 bad. 🌳 pretty.

SDCCBlog has an update on the new parking purchase procedures for 2018!

I don't think the service fee will be that low for SDCC, but would be nice!

Their info is confusing b/c Ace made you create an account to enter the lotto. You won't be creating a new account, I'd think.

If the email address is not already in the system, Ace will have you create a new account.  However if your address is already in the system from prior sales, you just need to confirm your credit card data and click on submit to sign up for the lottery.

When I signed up, it asked me to set a password along with all the other information and it said by entering you were creating an account

Yes, [member=2226]Mel[/member] is correct... it forced you to set up an account to enter. Or at least it forced me.

Question: It's my first year attending SDCC and I had signed up for the parking lottery in case I didn't get a hotel from the lottery. I was fortunate enough to receive a hotel, so I technically don't need the parking permit anymore. My question is, how hard is it to get a permit through the lottery? Should I still go through the process so I can give my pass to someone on the forum? Or maybe I should only do it if I am in an early group?

Since you have entered the parking lottery, you are entered. You can't really get out of it. If you win, you will receive an email that gives you a buying group with an assigned time to buy parking. You can either ignore it, or you can allow someone else to access the parking account that you set up and buy at that time. The choice is up to you. We will have a parking exchange thread set up on this site to make it easier to give away parking spots to those who need it.

Thanks, I'll definitely be needing that.

Where did we see that we will be notified on Wednesday? On the FAQ it says the drawing will be held on 4/23. Either way, I’m hoping for a good result. This is the last piece of the puzzle!

Last year’s lottery occurred on Monday and the notification were sent out by Wednesday.  Good luck.
