San Diego Comic-Con Hotel Sale Date confirmed - THIS WEDS, 9am PT
Check your emails, gang... The links for the Waiting Rooms for this year's #Hotelpocalypse have started to arrive in inboxs ahead of this weeks scramble for those precious pillows on which to rest those weary heads.
BREAKING: #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse is set for this Wednesday: sdccblog.com/2026/04/date...
Every year we try to make sense of #Hotelpocalypse... And every year it's very ¯\_(ツ)_/¯, but we try. Let us attempt to break down the 2025 sale for you, with some results that surprised even us: sdccblog.com/2025/04/hote...
First post? (No way).
Snagged an extra room at the Marriott Marquis and Marina for Comic Con (Wed-Sun). Got the room for my buddy who doesn't need it.
Willing to negotiate with anyone who really wants to stay right there at the heart of the Con.

So incredibly relieved to have gotten one of my #SDCC hotel picks, oh man... I always get something somehow but have had bad luck with the process for a decade #Hotelpocalypse
Wow, got the Hilton Bayfront 2 years in a row. Score. #sdcc #hotelpocalypse
Submitted my #sdcc #hotelpocalypse form. Can’t believe I’ve got to wait until Monday to find out if I got a hotel.
What? No blow-by-blow account of #hotelpocalypse? 😁
Now the waiting begins for #Hotelpocalypse for #SDCC2025
Completed #Hotelpocalypse. Fingers crossed for some good hotel during #SDCC.
Once again, I will probably not get a hotel via #hotelpocalypse.
As has happened every year for the last 8-9, I don’t get into #Hotelpocalypse until well after 9 minutes. Today was an epic 18 minutes. Fucked up the downtown lowest price for a shuttle at any price choice. Wanted downtown at any price v shuttle route but was thrown by the “lowest” comment.
The SDCC hotelpocalypse "walking man," a black bar that fills with green vertical rectangles when a little white silhouette moves forward. The bar is about 80% full.
Optical illusion: if you've done #Hotelpocalypse, look at this and tell me the little guy isn't moving. (cc @sdccblog.com)
First #Hotelpocalypse and I fucked it up by accidentally having 2 tabs open. Made it to the front of queue and was booted (because I unwittingly got through on the other tab), so I clicked "Get Back In Line" before noticing the other tab (which then became invalid). Oof.
And now we wait. #hotelpocalypse
He moved!! Got in after two minutes, went smoothly, now we wait. #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse
Silver lining: I only have to worry about SDCC #Hotelpocalypse and not preordering a Switch 2 today.
Now in line... OK little stick dude, move your ass #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse
As i say every year at this time: those of you participating in #hotelpocalypse, may the odds be ever in your favor.
Name something more stressful than #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse. I'll wait....
Saying a prayer to the hotel gods this morning #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse
Just got the email from CCI about #SDCC #Hotelpocalypse... it feels little gross to even think about this right now and, TBH, with all the economic uncertainty right now I don't want to be forced to commit that much money right now.
Mentally prepping for #Hotelpocalypse

For those of you attacking #sdcc #hotelpocalypse today, may the odds be ever in your favor!
Have I spent pretty much the ENTIRE afternoon planning a strategy with my team for the San Diego Comic-Con hotel lottery aka #Hoteloween? I have.
I know you new kids call it #Hotelpocalypse, but you never know what you;'re going to get! #sdcc24
Okay so looking like 20 minutes until I get in. This does not bode well. Oh well, always end up somewhere luckily. Just looks like no breakfast though. Breakfast really is key to powering through the day. #Hotelpocalypse
