This year Comic-Con is offering a few added options to help make your attendance at the biggest comic book show in the western hemisphere all that more enjoyable.
ADDITIONAL HOTEL ROOMS:
Comic-Con has additional hotels in the Mission Valley area. Please visit https://www.tphousing.com/r/startres.asp?EICode=1878&AttCode=72 to check availability and shuttle access to these hotels.
ADDITIONAL SHUTTLE ROUTE:
The hotel reservation situation this year didn’t go as well as it should have, as a result many people who expected to be closer to the downtown area found themselves in hotels farther away. For this reason we have expanded our shuttle route to help accommodate those who are staying at Mission Valley and Shelter Island hotels. The expanded shuttle route will service hotels in the Mission Valley and Shelter Island areas and is made possible, in part, by a generous contribution from Travel Planners. To provide faster service, the shuttle route for Mission Valley will run from 7:00 am to 8:00 pm from a location near the Omni Hotel (at the foot of L Street in downtown San Diego). Using this drop point during heavy daytime traffic periods will increase the frequency of the shuttles. After 8:00 pm this shuttle route will originate from the Convention Center front driveway.
PRE PAID PARKING:
To assist those who choose to drive to the event, Comic-Con has arranged with ACE and Five Star, two of the largest downtown parking companies, to offer advanced purchase of
Pre-Paid parking at many of downtown’s parking areas. As with all parking lots, in and out privileges do not apply. To take advantage of the advanced parking permit option, please visit http://www.thepermitstore.com/comic-con/event/
Purchase of Pre-Paid parking guarantees you a spot, though not a specific or particular space.
Comic-Con does not receive any compensation from this program.
BAG CHECK:
In addition to the expanded shuttle route, Comic-Con is expanding Bag Check services at the Convention Center. The Bag Check station is located near Hall A and underneath the escalator in the lobby of Hall E, on the ground floor level of the Convention Center. The charge is $2.00 per bag.
So feel free to check your bags before heading out to dinner or catching an evening program. Finally you won’t have to make a special trip back to your hotel or be stuck lugging your stuff around at night. Simply check your stuff and head out for an evening of fun. But remember, you need to return to the Bag Check before they close as items cannot be left overnight.
The Bag Check schedule for 2010 is:
Wednesday, July 21 2:00 pm—9:00 pm
Thursday, July 22-Saturday, July 24 7:00 am—2:00 am
Sunday, July 25 7:00 am—5:00 pm
EARLY BADGE PICK UP FOR NON-PREVIEW NIGHT ATTENDEES
And preview night attendees too!
If you do not have a Preview Night membership, you can still pick up your badge early on Wednesday. Our satellite registration location will be held at the California section of the Atlas Ballroom at the Town & Country Hotel Convention Center. You can pick up your Full Member or Thursday badge here on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning, whether or not you have a Preview Night membership. Preview night members are welcome to pick up their badges here too.
This is the ONLY location for non Preview Night attendees to pick up their badge early. You can take the Comic-Con shuttle to the Town & Country; however, you will need to have a Shuttle Pass.
Please note that Shuttle Passes are available ONLY when booking online with official Comic-Con hotels. Shuttle Passes will be available at the front desk upon check in. One pass for each person listed on reservation.
ADDITIONAL ATTENDEE BADGE PICK UP LOCATION:
For the first time Comic-Con will have attendee registration in Mission Valley. Making it even more convenient for everyone staying in Mission Valley Hotels. Attendees only, with or without Preview Night, will be able to pick up their badge at the Town & Country Hotel Convention Center facility on Wednesday afternoon and Thursday morning before heading downtown to Comic-Con
Note, the Town & Country Convention Center is a convenient stop on the Mission Valley shuttle routes on Wednesday and Thursday.
