Geek Nation Tours still has 4 day memberships to the San Diego comic con. That’s right! You can still go even though the 4 day memberships are sold out…
Geek Nation Tour’s “Geeking Out at the San Diego Comic Con” tour takes care of getting hotel space, grabbing the correct air flights, and allows you to share the excitement with fellow Geeks. Not only that – we will have a special dinner prior to the event that will prime you on “How to Get the Best Out of Your Comic Convention”. Join us on our trip to the Mecca of all comic book Geeks – the big San Diego Comic Convention.
This tour is offered both with or without the air component so no matter where you are you can participate in the convention the way you want to.
We still have those 4-day passes – alas without “preview night” – included in our tour. Hurry to secure your space – we are selling out quickly.
As an added bonus all of our tours include promotional draws that give the participants the opportunity to win great prizes prior to and after departure.
Join the Geek Nation as we take in all the goodness the comic con has to offer…
