I'll never understand convenience fees. If you want $25 for a parking spot, just charge that. There's nothing convenient about a $15 spot turning into $25. And those are the cheap lots. Tailgate is $40 per day. With fees, that's $225 for the week. That's a comic con ticket. It's madness.
I got my so sorry, no parking for you email. Now what? I can't imagine 4 days of comic con without parking!
Well, at least they decreased it some! I complained on their FB page, it was shady how they changed it like that just to gouge.
"Q: Why am I being charged a convenience fee? A: Yes, we do our best to make pre-purchasing parking as easy as possible so that fans can reserve parking ahead of time online. The convenience fee covers resources spent on making this option available and include, web hosting, ticketing hardware, customer support, training, credit and debit card processing services, merchant fees, computer hardware and software, telephone lines, labor and more."
That's all fine & good, but doesn't explain why the "convenience fee" for SDCCI is 2-5 times MORE than the convenience fees during other times of the year (for example, convenience fee for Convention Center right now is $2.45 vs the $7 or $10 quoted by ACE for SDCCI week). I get "convenience" = infrastructure, but the price gouging of Comic-Con attendees is not cool: especially the cheaper & more desirable lots having higher fees than the other lots.
Q: What are the operating hours for the lots?Convention Center, Hilton Bayfront garage, Padres Parkade, Diamond View Towers: 5am — 2am Horton Plaza, Tailgate Park, Triangle, MTS: 5am — 2am 707 Broadway: 4pm on Friday until 6am on Saturday. Saturday and Sunday 24 hours. No overnight camping
This is great news, and looks to be a significant change from previous years when Convention Center was the only lot open at 5!
An Ace tweet responded to a request to post times before the first sale and sdccblog mentioned the times were up.What stirs up now from this tweet? Is SDCC making statements out there??
When you stay in a hotel which offers parking (for example, the Hilton Bayfront), how many cars per room can you park? I would expect a "Twin" room ought to be allowed to park two cars but it would not surprise me if they only permit one car per room.
500 and 800 spaces would give 'good' parking to Group 1 and most of Group 2. Not as much as 'first 3 groups' like they claimed originally.
I thought each group was 500 people each. So Groups 1 and 2 would be covered, and there would be a decent amount left for Group 3.
