Can't answer all your questions, but I have two friends who volunteered last year and decided this year not to even get SDCC badges, but just work Nerd HQ full time.  So it can't be too bad.

Whoa.  I REALLY hope for the sake of your friends that Nerd HQ happens this year.  :o

I was thinking the same thing.  I really admire their dedication, but at some point it will not surprise me if Nerd HQ goes away.  And then they're back in the general registration pool.

I gotta say.....something really special will be missing if NerdHQ doesn't come back. I found the panels harder than hell to get tix for, but dolphinax my guardian angel scored a pair for Orphan Black and let me buy them last year and I think it was THEEEE highlight of my whole Con. If you get into one of those panels, it's just so different and special.

I went to SDCC and Nerd HQ for the first time last year. Nerd HQ was a definite highlight. I was able to score tickets to The Last Ship and Stephen Amell panels. It was also a great place to go a decompress during the Con. Even though I have a pass for SDCC this year, I would still love to volunteer at Nerd Hq.

I hope they are back!

I hope Nerd HQ is back, my wife and daughter went to the Walking Dead panel and had a great time. Yes tickets are really hard to get I was lucky that someone wanted to trade tickets with me.

I'm optimistic about Nerd HQ coming back this year. I feel Zac would let us know right away if he had no plans on bringing Nerd HQ back. I'm sure he's working hard behind the scenes right now.

When do they normally announce it?  I don't know if I paid attention to previous year's timelines.  Like, is there a date when we might have reason for concern?

Really of they want to start a ground swell for Nerd HQ they should be announcing it in the next couple of weeks.
If we haven't heard anything by the end of April I'd start to think it might not be happening.

Well, last year at this time we were in the middle of their indigogo campaign and not 100% sure it would happen.  So I think there's a little time yet for them to make announcements.  But yeah, I would get worried if we don't hear anything by the end of April.

I would even say June, since they never organize guests and such until last minute. But yeah, I would think that they would have to be reserving the PetCo space within the next couple of weeks.

I know someone who volunteered there last year and she said she hasn't heard anything. Like Comic con they normally have previous volunteers come back again.

I keep forgetting also that this year the con is a couple of weeks earlier.  Whereas last year we didn't get some announcements until early July, I think that will have to get moved up into June.  Once we get to the end of April it will be less than 10 weeks to the start of the con.   :)

I really hope NerdHQ happens this year.  Even though I had a badge for the convention, NerdHQ was a place to recharge and relax.  Plus I got a picture with Grover!

How did you go about getting tickets for NerdHQ?
