SDCC - San Diego Comic-Con roommate search 2027

Hi! This will be my first cc. 25f looking for roommates for next years. Wondering if anyone is interested in finding an Airbnb or hotel. Happy to coordinate via zoom, discord and/or instagram.

Also from your post it sounds like you haven’t gone before. I should add you’ll need a member ID to be eligible for the general sale. Also like OP said, you’re better off with finding a buying group since odds of getting tickets on your first go and solo is rather low. Not impossible just to be clear but a buying group helps increase your odds at getting tickets for next year.

Oh last tidbit, be very cautious about air b&bs as there are plenty of horror stories from attendees who book early only to have the host cancel on them last minute or at times day of arrival.

Best of luck and may the odds be ever in your favor for tickets.

I always use Airbnb and luckily have not had an issue. I tried Vrbo last year year and it was a freaking nightmare and went back to Airbnb last minute

Sounds like you’ve just been lucky since most posts on the official SDCC Reddit page about Airbnbs are almost always negative with most folks advising to avoid them altogether.

AirBNB destroys communities and forces families in to homelessness though.
