Fear not, Genji mains, Blizzard is bringing the payload to you! The Overwatch Payload Tour, unveiled today, is a summer-long event for cosplayers, though non-cosplayers are also welcome, at some of the more prominent US game and geek conventions.(including SDCC)I know Kurt will certainly be interested in this.
Beginning at PAX East next week, there will be a promised “one-of-a-kind” photo experience on a 360-degree panoramic stage set at the center of some Overwatch maps, and a selection of iconic Overwatch weapons will be on hand as well.
Those who are able to attend will also get an exclusive pin, with a unique design for every convention the event will be held at.

“If you have a badge, you will be able to get in the front of the line for food and drinks and activations,” Ridgeway said. “For experiences like last year’s It bus, which usually had a 3-4 hour wait, badge-holders would go to the front of the line.”

Yea I wish I would have known badge holders go to the front!
We had badges and still waited 4 hours for the IT bus, so....
i have learned the more u collect the more it gonna weigh u down so to speak lol. so go to offsites u really wanna check out and dont waste time at any of no interest.
Yes especially walking in the San Diego heat with your free big comic con backbag..fill with 5 other free comic con bags and tons of comics,posters,pins,advertisement,T-shirts..fidget spinner...mugs..
They usually give out the wristbands for ticket holders around 9am, then you don't have to back until afternoon, I think like 3?
Comic con will email everyone when you can throw your name in the hat to hopefully win the Conan lottery. Just a website you put your info in, and then wait for an answer back. This forum will certainly have discussion threads that light up like a Christmas tree once those emails go out.
If you get selected, make sure you show up the morning of your showing to get your numbered “guaranteed entry” wristband for the showing later that day. People will line up early in the morning to get a low number wristband to sit closer to the stage.
There will also be a “standby” line next to, or mixed in with the lottery winners each morning. They hand out a limited number of numbered standby wristbands. Standby people show up for the afternoon shows and hope to get in for the no-shows/empty seats. (This is usually me)

What exactly is this?
I don't know if it's already been posted but Rave of Thrones is returning this year for SDCC:

It's at the Omnia on Thursday, July 19. Tickets are already sold out but I believe you can still buy them at the door (hehehe Hodor) for $20.
I might check this out since I normally don't do anything Thursday nights. If anyone else has gone, what's it like?

Are they definitely sold out, or have they maybe not gone on sale yet? The past two years, I bought my tix in July
Goodness, things feel a tad slow on the offsite front this year. I'm I right?

Hello possible fellow Missourian!

I had tickets last year too! But had to bail while in line because i got sick with a killer headache and was gonna be sick in the street if i had to stand any longer lol 2nd time in my life ive missed on meeting Dylan o’brien Ahahahahah hopefully this year I’ll get to go.
Also a Missourian here!!!
I heard such awesome things about this party last year! Curious if it has a certain night it tends to fall on?
Looks like no W00tstock this year, since the Balboa Theatre is booked for Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights...Thursday is still open. I guess there's still a chance, but I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up not returning this year.

Zac Levi did a live stream last night and said Nerd HQ is still a "possibility" and he is looking at 2 venues right now. But he also emphasized its not a done deal yet and it could still not happen (similar to last year when they announced it and then had to recant later on) - and he wasn't going to provide details until is/isn't.
So NerdHQ *might* be happening!
Wish NerdHQ would go back to it's roots. Just book out jolt and joes and put some games in there both video and board.
I like this list because it's through Facebook and I'm old and I still use Facebook.

Wondering about this one. I'm a huge SPN fan so interested in this. Has anyone been before? :)Yes. I went about three years ago. I wasn't impressed. Organisation was all over the place. Couldn't heard a damn word because the music was too loud. Bar staff incredibly rude. Drinks options very poor. Also we paid for premium tickets which came with drinks tokens and exclusive swag bags, only to find the organisers giving out the exclusive swag in the Hall H line on the Sunday.

We have very strict laws and they could have been heavily fined. Even if it's clear as mud you are over 21, they still have to ID you.
One more story from the event. We get there an hour after doors have opened and there is a line to get in. We get to the front and the bouncer asks for identification. I'm from the UK, we don't carry ID around plus I don't exactly look under 21. So he asks us to step to one side while he let's in other people. We speak to one of the organisers who said "If you don't have ID you don't get in." Now, it's a private party with people who are over the drinking age so why stop us going in? Eventually after sweet talking the bouncer he let us in after the line had been let in. We had to stand there like naughty children while everyone filed past.
I complained to them on Twitter the next day and they ignored me. Chose to retweet people who had a good time instead.

SO. MANY. THINGS. ON. PREVIEW NIGHT.
Realllllly want some more things to show up for Thurs/Fri/Sat.
Sorta wonder if its due to this being in the middle of a work week which may mean a cheaper venue rate as opposed to say Fri/Sat which would be more expensive.
Anyone have any info on the Ready Player One themed party at Fluxx on Preview Night? I got a ticket for it just in caseThere is a thread on it. Not much info outside of what's on the event Brite post. On of the guys producing the party made a comment though.

Hey,
Has there been any info on the symphony? Don't they usually do something for the con? One year was Zelda and last year was John Williams (I think).
The video from the official comic con blog said no Syfy live this year. I guess it looks like SDCC is cutting out all offsites that have panels within 2 miles of the con. I read on another page that Nerdist will not have their event either. Disappointing.
Haha. I knew that too. Not sure why I typed official. My bad.
I wonder if SDCC is really making them stop or if it’s simply logistics. Either way, it’s disappointing. The offsites are just as enjoyable for me personally as the con itself. They all have their own unique vibe.
No Game of Thrones or Westworld offsites either. :(

Wow, this is bad. This might be the first year where everyone is just.. chain reaction dropping out
I stopped watching the show (not that it was bad, just lost interest) but that off site was AMAZING. Free food and drink and swag everywhere. And easy to get, too. Just needed an email. I fed myself for an entire day for free and got a shirt. The shirt is way too small for me but I have it at least.
I've also been checking this thread for any info on any symphonies. I'm not very good at finding/figuring out events on my own. But I think in the past, the symphonies have always been announced pretty far in advance, so I'm guessing there isn't one this year.
Edit: and of course, right as I post that, I notice the John Williams concert thread way down near the bottom of this subforum. ::)

Mondo tiki party Thursday 7/19:
https://sdccblog.com/event/mondo-false-idol-and-plantation-rum-present-con-tiki-mug-party/
Anyone who's had a party or event before that you know you'd be interested in. But mostly I just keep refreshing the #sdcc hashtag on Twitter.
I've been F5ing the sdccblog website but it doesn't seem to be that comprehensive compared to their twitter posts. For example, I don't see the Mr. Mercedes offsite on their homepage, it's listed under events. I even checked the offsites page and it's not there. I shun all social media so I don't FB or Tweet. I guess it's time to dust off those accounts.
Hi everyone. I was only able to get one Mondo party ticket today. If anyone got a ticket they don't plan to use, I would be happy to buy it from you (if that's allowed). It would be so much more fun if both my husband and I could go. Many Thanks.
Correct, we put a lot of offsites under just our offsites calendar. Best way to get updates for us is Twitter.
Is there a lag between when it gets put on the calendar versus when it gets tweeted?

Took a gamble and bought tickets for this. Figured for 30 bucks a tequila shot, apps, and being on a yacht was probably worth it.
For those who scored tickets for the Mondo Con-Tiki Party. Check your emails. Looks like they are forming three reservation slots to accommodate ticket holders.

From the article:
All week long though, you can find Amazon at The Jack Ryan Experience, in a huge offsite that starts the corner of MLK & 1st and extending to the back adjacent parking lot.
Is that where the Blade Runner experience was last year? I don't see an MLK road on the map.

Legion M is announcing their activities on Monday, per the shareholder emailNoice... Good tip
This contest is in no way affiliated with Hulu, Stephen King, J.J. Abrams or the Castle Rock series. Welcome To Castle Rock is a fan activation created by Fable + Media LLC for Boom Howdy.
Boom Howdy is hosting our 3rd annual San Diego Comic-Con scavenger hunt ARG! In previous years we have had a blast bringing search parties together to “Find Will” for Stranger Things and hunting down Pennywise for “It.” This year we are digging into another Stephen King property with Hulu’s newest series ‘Castle Rock’ based around the mythology of King’s Universe!
The #CastleRockHunt will take place Thursday July 18th – Saturday July 20th around the convention center. Clues will be randomly dropped each day between 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM so be sure to follow us on Twitter and set your notifications to ding!
A designated location will be setup for “Castle Rock” and “Shawshank” – these will be two very important locations that participants can find “Cujo Coins” hidden in the area. You will redeem these “Cujo Coins” for a ‘Castle Rock’ Collector’s Case full of the prizes listed below.
Fans can follow [member=8224]boomhowdy[/member] and @CastleRockHunt on Twitter using the hashtag #CastleRockHunt to get clues and join the hunt. You can also find additional information to interact with on WelcomeToCastleRock.com COMING SOON.
PRIZES INCLUDE:
Castle Rock Collector’s Case
– If you have been obsessing over the trailers like we have at Boom Howdy you will notice a burning VHS tape on a wood stump. We don’t know what this means just yet but we do know it was a perfect opportunity to create a faux VHS design for the show that will be our Collector’s Case that will hold all of these goodies.
Boom Howdy SDCC Exclusive Castle Rock Trading Card Set
– Based on the fantastic key-art (seen above) from the show. We will be giving away a limited amount of sets at SDCC and 5 pairs online to users following the hunt at home!
Shawshank Correctional Facilities Bumper Sticker
– Seen in the trailer on the back of the car as it sinks into the water.
Cujo Dog Tags
– With so many call backs to the King universe one of them that was mentioned is Cujo. So we thought why not make a custom Cujo dog tag!
Boom Howdy Logo Stickers
– Take a pic with your sticker and tag us on Twitter to show us some #SDCC2018 love!
If you love what we do at Boom Howdy and want to see more activations based around your favorite shows please considering supporting us with a donation to our Patreon!
Happy hunting! We can’t wait to explore more of ‘Castle Rock’ together when the first 3 episodes drop on Hulu July 25th!

I haven't seen it mentioned yet but there were two Stargate Command offsites that went up today. A meet and greet and a screening. Both are sold out now. I missed them even though my offsite bot was beeping at me. I thought it was my pre-con shift bot again so I ignored it. My phone has been beeping off the hook today.
I'm going to keep checking it. Another event that sold out earlier this week opened up again briefly before selling out again.

Legion M also mentioned to me directly that there would be standby tickets that will be available at a later date. So stay tuned.
ETA--Actually, standby tickets are available right now for the screening.
Oh well. Sold out.

I wouldn't hold my breath my breath on this one. (See Nerd Night thread). This link may have gone out in error. The event usually sells out in 4-5 minutes, and the local NerdNight San Diego was supposed to get advance notice - which didn't happen. Our reservations may not be honored, or they may make this a giant - first come, first serve. Who - knows.That would totally suck if someone set up a fake event just to steal email addresses for spam. This world we love in.
No, it doesn't seem fake. It appears as though a press RSVP or something similar was accidentally sent out as the general attendee ticket sign up. No malice, just error. We're not sure yet, though, so no harm in signing up just in case.
Thanks for doing the legwork to figure that out for us -- it's greatly appreciated! What a total bummer. I hope they change their minds or hold some kind of contest or something beforehand.
Exactly. If it's just first come first serve the RSVP is pointless. Might as well just take the first however-many that show up. It's also not indicitave of demand AT ALL since people will literally sign up for anything free during SDCC week.
Plus didn't some people say they had to wait to go in last year because the rooftop was at capacity? So it's not like they weren't getting enough attendees.

I enjoyed the how to train your dragon series. As long there are food drink and some free how to train your dragon swag.... I am good. It’s either this or wait for 4hrs at the nerd nite party
School of Dragons and another event yesterday were free until July 8th, but I don't remember seeing them at all on the 8th or before. Did anyone get free tickets?
Anyone heard anything about Netflix this year?I was wondering too...last years offsite at Hilton Gaslamp with Stranger Things was so cool.
Learn all about data collection at this offsite. Or go for the free food.

I am SO excited about all the love NBC is giving The Good Place this year. (Especially since, while the food is just okay, my sister and I ended up eating at the Tin Fish at least once per con).

I RSVPd for Closet SMASH a while ago thinking it was an actual ticket. But apparently they are doing what Nerd Nite is doing and giving tickets but still not guaranteeing admission. Ho hum. Hope I get in. I'd love to hang out with LGBTQ+ geeks.
I've actually never been to the Tin Fish (don't eat seafood and always packed), but for The Good Place, I will go this year! There's a special themed menu. I just hope it's not clam chowder.Just an FYI, my husband isn't into fish tacos, but he really likes the chicken tacos there. I don't think he has ever ordered fish at Tin Fish! LOL! Agreed on the always packed thing, but we usually go once per con. They seem to do decent turnaround without rushing you.

Legion M Nicolas Cage thing on EventbriteI am so stoked for this! The preview looks great, Nic Cage at his "Cageiest"! For anyone who's a fan I highly recommend Mom and Dad with Selma Blair if you haven't seen it, so so great!

Yea those Kingsman burger.. You never know what they put in those meat patties....
Anyone know what will be in the Hard Rock this year? On the bar where the Kingsman burgers were last year.
Any news on Scarediego? I haven't seen anything.
There is a Manifest Lounge but I'm not sure if it's the same space.
Thursday, July 19-Sunday, July 22 at Hard Rock Hotel
NBC's new fall drama series "Manifest" will offer attendees a chance to relax, beat the heat and recharge their mobile devices with a Montego Airlines-branded lounge, located at the Hard Rock Hotel. The space will offer a custom oxygen bar, charging station and a chance to preview new content from the anticipated new fall show.
It was already announced that Sony would be a offsite force this year. The one solid thing is the Ghostbusters AR experience at Park Park. It's my understanding that Park Park overall is getting a serious upgrade this year.
grandesignmedia Sony Pictures Entertainment’s “Ghostbusters World” — in collaboration with Ghost Corps, the game’s publisher FourThirtyThree Inc. (4:33) and developer NextAge —invites attendees to experience the new augmented reality game for smartphones at its first public demo. While attendees wait their turn in line for the first chance to battle and capture the ghosts populating The Experience, they can try on authentic Ghostbusters costumes, pose with the original Ecto-1 and awe at the towering Stay Puft Marshmallow Man!
IIRC there's going to be a Rick and Morty even late Sat. that requires tickets won via a lottery to attend. Can someone point me to that bit because I forgot?
10P-12A | Rick and Morty*
We get it! Were all excited! But bear in mind, admission is extremely limited and based on a lottery system. We're kind of winging this, so anything can happen. Your wildest dreams? Our worst nightmares? A little bit of both? Sign up below to find out. Instructions on how to enter will be sent on Tues. July 17th. Ticket recipients will be notified by 8P PST on Fri. July 20th.

What the heck is Park Park? Where is this Ghostbusters thing?
Oh, so the PetCo Interactive Zone? Why didn’t they just say so? Sigh... ::)

It was chocolateshake that did the "park park" typo its correct in the instagram post.
Not a typo on my part at all. That's the way it was reported.

Good to know! I was having nightmares of Newton (from the old Hercules cartoon) talking about the ‘Park, Park!’ ;D
The Experience” will take center stage at the Lexus Premier Lot at Petco Park, in the area formerly known as the Petco Interactive Zone.

Did anyone sign up for the free 20th Century Fox event at Horton on Friday night? It is saying it is full now. Could it be Predator?

Did anyone sign up for the free 20th Century Fox event at Horton on Friday night? It is saying it is full now. Could it be Predator?Highly doubt it’s predator because they could really use the screening at sdcc as a great publicity event just as they did with the Star Trek screening a couple years ago. Also it does say that the movie is expected to be pg-13 which does not match the predator
https://www.previewfreemovies.com/invite/3730
Looking at an upcoming slate of movies for 20th Century Fox, I'd pin it as "The Darkest Minds" which has a release date of Aug 3 and is rated PG-13. Anything else is too far out, rated R or outside of possible scope of SDCC (ie oscar bait).

Scarediego tickets will be given out at 1pm.
Distribution is available in Sails right? I don't have a preview night badge so does that I mean I won't be let in to Sails?

Once inside, fans were given $20 Purge bucks to spend on a variety of exclusive swag. For $3 Purge bucks I bought a copy of the 28th amendment, 15 got me a T shirt, and 2 bought a magnetic Purge bumper sticker. There were masks on display, Purge stain removers, 12 hour candles, hats, pins, Purge cards, etc. This activation was everything a fan of the movies wanted: a real world experience that matched the ip.

Did you stick around for the demonstration ...No, I didn’t want to miss the Purge panel later that day and I was so hot. So I raced over to the convention center. What was it? Glad they dealt with the line cutters.
Then my husband showed up with bags of candy (Deadpool gummies) from the Omni VR exhibit and handed them out, and everyone around us was happy for him to join us.

It was a parody of those Oxy clean commercials. But the actors were good and the two volunteers from the crowd also played along really well.Hahahaha .... The actors were excellent for sure and really added to the experience.
Did anyone attend the Zachary Levi party on Saturday at the tin roof?? If so, how was it?????

On Wednesday night they had vanilla creme cookies, bottles of water, chips, gummies, peanuts, etc. it was literally a mini 7-Eleven there. Also apparently they didn't care if you had badges or not for Preview Night so you could've just walked in, do the demos, and take the food. It was pretty great.
Sounds like the Omni VR Exhibit is the place to be if you don't have PN!
The demos in the exhibit itself also gave away swag.
Oh yeah the Overwatch booth gave away pins if you took pics! Speaking of which, it's super crazy how small that line was. Apparently there was a 2 hour wait when the booth was at AX but when I went by the booth throughout SDCC, the line was consistently small.
Anyways, I actually like the offsite set up in the Omni. It wasn't too crowded and the exhibits themselves are so fun, especially if you're into VR!
Do offsites always close when con closes up for the night? My wife and I were very surprised and disappointed that when we left after last panels of the day that all offsites were closed (exception being Taco Bell...kinda) It makes no sense to us.

I believe Adult Swim was open until 2 am?
We went to the FXhibition at 2:05 pm on Sunday, only to be told that they had closed at 2 pm. That's why teardown was so far along when you saw it, Mark.

Apparently there was a 2 hour wait when the booth was at AX but when I went by the booth throughout SDCC, the line was consistently small.We did the Overwatch thing on Preview Night and it was so empty that the guy doing press check-in let us through using him, basically letting us cut the line (which was maybe 10 people (with maybe 3-4 groups total) so it's not like it was a huge skip).
