...If it were possible for badge holders to get first dibs and THEN allow everyone else to participate after, that would seem to me to be a decent compromise. It's not really necessary for those who don't have a badge and are not going inside the convention center for any reason to be staying at the Bayfront or the Marquis. Those hotels especially make it easier for the con-goers to get sleep, swap in and out of line with other line savers during the night and to shower and be clean for the next days events (not that a lot of people bother with that ). Why should those who are just hanging out in the area and taking advantage of the outside events need the immediacy of the next door hotels? Just saying. I mean it's not like they are in a rush.
Trying to limit the hotels to just whatever group you fit into isnt ever going to happen.....What about volunteers, booth workers, guests, grandmas that come into town to watch the grandkids during the convention, people coming into town for one direction concerts and on and on and on.....
Putting my two cents in, when I purchase tickets to an event, whether it be SDCC, Wondercon, Blizzcon, Comikazi, D23, SWCA or Gallifrey One and these organizers have negotiated rates with hotels for THEIR attendees to reserve rooms at, then it is my belief that the attendees should have first dibs at the hotels, there will be hotel rooms available for others who may only be coming for the off-site activities but maybe not at MMM or Hilton Bayfront, Hard Rock.
Obviously getting a badge is never going to guarantee you a downtown room. There are nowhere near enough downtown rooms in the block to guarantee each badgeholder a downtown room. There aren't even enough total rooms in the block to guarantee every badgeholder a room at all. That's just hyperbole.
Quick question: can anyone name a major event where non-ticket/badge holders are given the discount rate of badge/ticket holders?Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Not the same at all as SDCC takes literally ALL of the rooms. Not just some of them, ALL of them.
I still think the first dibs thing would work. They could do the sale in waves. Non-badgeholders don't need to stay downtown.
