SDCC 2017
I am lined up to do this again, provided I can snag passes.
In any case, I am driving across the country this summer with the kids. Wife is sitting this one out (her max car ride is a few hours, not a few days). If I can get SDCC passes, then that is where the trip will finish.
Tentative driving schedule (yes, I know this is *SQUEE* nuts):
Tuesday, July 11: Drive from Neptune Beach to New Orleans (9 hours) (200)
Wednesday, July 12: Spend day in New Orleans (200)
Thursday, July 13: Drive to San Antonio (9 hours) (125)
Friday, July 14: Drive to Roswell (9 hours) (125)
Saturday, July 15: Spend day in Roswell (125)
Sunday, July 16: Drive to Grand Canyon (10 hours) (250)
Monday, July 17: Spend day in Grand Canyon, drive to Las Vegas (5 hours) (150)
Tuesday, July 18: Spend day in Las Vegas (150)
Wednesday, July 19: Drive to San Diego (5 hours) (300)
Thursday, July 20: Thursday Comic Con (300)
Friday, July 21 Friday Comic Con (300)
Saturday, July 22: Saturday Comic Con (300)
Sunday, July 23: Fly home (800)
Number in parentheses is estimated hotel cost. I plan on renting a car and dropping it off ... that will cost at least a grand.
If I can't get SDCC passes then the entire trip will veer farther north, but this is what I am hoping for.

Re: SDCC 2017
We drove Memphis - New Orleans then New Orleans to Disney one year. It was a great drive. We spent a night in New Orleans and watched Grizzlies play the Pelicans. Ate dinner at an Oyster house. So much fun.

Re: SDCC 2017
If you don't score tickets after they sell out, generally within an hour, eBay is one option also Craigslist had some last year, check Inland Empire, L.A., and San Diego. Expect to pay through the teeth as last year on average they were 4 or 5 times face value. I think people were trying to get 600-1000 for all days and 200ish for Sunday and Thursday. Good luck mang.TheeBaldMoose wrote:when is SDCC? If I can't get tickets online, are there scalpers there? anyone ever get a quote for them?

I was hoping to make it out there this year, but I bought a pool so that definitely won't be happening this year.

Using three computers in my house this time ... usually mix it up with another location. If Comcast goes down I am screwed.

Re: SDCC 2017
Eight year in a row for me and still NO preview night. I am convinced SDCC hates me. In fact I didn't get Friday or Saturday either. Going to try for Open Registration, but based on the poor odds in that mess it looks like I may sit this year out. Pretty bummed out, not the way to start my birthday weekend.

Sorry Jace, but don't give up hope ... I've been in your shoes before and still got in. Good vibes sent your way!

Re: SDCC 2017
I still have to try and get a ticket for my son ... he didn't go last year so he was ineligible for returning registration.
