Hotel Sales
Traditionally, three hotel sales take place leading up to Comic-Con. In the fall, our first sale features accommodations in the Mission Valley and Airport areas, often with early booking incentives.
Spring brings our most sought-after hotel event: the Downtown Hotel Sale. Due to high demand, this sale operates through a virtual waiting room, where you can fill out a hotel reservation request form for your chance to book a stay in the heart of the action.
A few weeks following the Downtown Hotel Sale, reservations will open for all remaining hotels on a first-come, first-served basis.
Below is a quick overview of our hotel sale events. Each sale offers unique opportunities to secure accommodations at some of the best locations in San Diego.
| Hotel Sale | When | Hotel Locations | Sale Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Early Bird Hotel Sale | Fall–Spring | Mission Valley and Airport areas | First-come, first-served |
| Downtown Hotel Sale | Spring | Downtown San Diego | Request form |
| General Housing | Late Spring | Downtown, Mission Valley, and Airport areas | First-come, first-served |
Fall 2024
Early Bird Hotel Sale
This sale will include hotels in the Mission Valley and Airport areas, all on the complimentary Comic-Con Shuttle route! As an added bonus, some of our Early Bird hotels also include incentives for booking early.
Staying in the Mission Valley or Airport areas is a great way to save time and money. Lock in your hotel reservation today, but please keep this in mind: Only book a room IF you have a Comic-Con 2025 badge! Early Bird Hotel reservations are full prepay and NON-REFUNDABLE.
The Early Bird Hotel Sale is a great way to ensure you have a hotel reservation for Comic-Con 2025! Downtown hotels are limited and in much higher demand during the general reservation sale.
Spring 2025
Downtown Hotel Sale
Each year, hotel rooms for Comic-Con sell out in a matter of minutes and downtown hotels are in high demand.
The Downtown Hotel Sale for Comic-Con 2025 will open in the spring. To allow attendees to prepare for opening day, a sample version of the form will be provided ahead of the sale.
On the day of the sale, you’ll enter the virtual waiting room within a designated time frame. Everyone in the waiting room will be assigned a random place in line, and guests will then be moved from the waiting room to the hotel reservation request form based on this order. There will also be an option to place your request over the phone during that time. Guests joining the waiting room after the sort will be placed behind the sorted list.
Once all request forms have been submitted, forms will be processed based on the time a user was granted access to the form—NOT the time when the form was submitted. Please keep in mind, thousands of attendees gain access to this form once the sale begins. Accessing the form within the first few minutes doesn’t guarantee you’ll get your first-choice hotel. Approximately one week after the sale, confirmations of hotel placements will be sent.
Late Spring 2025
General Housing
As Comic-Con gets closer, room availability changes frequently due to ongoing changes and cancellations. Once general housing opens, the booking website shows hotel room inventory in real time.
Note that all rooms require a deposit at the time of booking and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We encourage you to act quickly if you are still in need of accommodations when general housing opens.
