Some of the hotel Circle hotels may follow suit after this and Town &Country have dropped prices

Be careful on those Mission Valley Resort rooms. I stayed there a couple of years ago and the rooms were outdated and had a funky smell.

Most probably. Reviews of some of the Mission Valley hotels line up with what you stated. I've never stayed that far out, but i guess you get what you pay for as well.

Hey friends,
I can't remember, once the hotel lottery happens how many days do they give you to pay the 2 night deposit?

I believe you have 3 days from when your results email arrives.

It is, at least in the past, 72 hours from receipt of confirmation. If there is any issue with your card processing they usually give you an additional two-three days to figure it out. That happened with my group once because my friend mistyped her credit card for holding the res.

I pulled part of the initial e-mail from last year, 2016 (I have an e-mail that was only ever used for SDCC things that hit the lotto once, so it was easy to find.)

Please review the information below regarding your hotel assignment for Comic-Con 2016. You were booked into this hotel because you selected this property as one of your top six hotel choices.

A deposit equal to two-night's room rate plus tax must be submitted within 72 hours or your reservation will be cancelled. Deposits can be paid with a credit card by accessing your reservation via the button below. Until your reservation is guaranteed with a deposit, it is subject to cancellation.

Hotel sale has been posted at You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login.

Hotel Reservations Open Wednesday, April 26, 2017 - 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time

Each year hotel rooms for Comic-Con sell out in a matter of minutes. We want to make the process as clear, and more importantly, as fair as it can be. Below is a guide to the process for opening day and everything you need to know.
The Email (April 21, 2017)

On April 21, 2017, an email will be sent from Comic-Con International to 2017 badge holders, which will include the link to the waiting room/hotel reservation request form. The form will not open until 9:00 AM PDT on April 26, 2017 and until then, the link will only grant you access to the waiting room one hour prior to the opening.

Opening the link prior to opening day will only take you to a page indicating you are in the right place and to check back on opening day.

Some changes for this year...

Is there anything new this year that I should be aware of?
Based on the feedback Comic-Con received from the 2016 sale, two noticeable edits have been made to the request form that are
important to note:

1. You now have the option to request a maximum of 6 downtown hotels AND a maximum of 6 non-downtown hotels. You are only
required to submit 1 hotel choice
and will have the following options:
- Requesting only downtown hotels.
- Requesting only non-downtown hotels.
- Requesting a mix of both.

2. If none of your preferred hotel choices are available, you now have the following options to select from:
- Book me at a hotel that is closest to the convention center, regardless of rate.
- Book me at a hotel with the lowest available rate, regardless of location.
- Book me at any hotel that is on the shuttle route, regardless of rate or location.
- If none of my preferred hotel choices are available, disregard my request completely.

Browser check time again...

We encourage all guests to review the 2017 sample form prior to opening day to familiarize themselves with the options this year.

I find it interesting that the sample form now has a spot for Member ID, but it isn't a required field.
