To help cover the high cost of shuttle tickets to San Francisco, we are selling highly discounted round-trip shuttle tickets for $5 via our Eventbrite platform. To buy a shuttle ticket, select your preferred shuttle time as an add-on when checking out. Please keep in mind that the Opening Ceremony starts at 8:30pm and the Honored Guest reception starts at 7:30pm, so choose a shuttle ticket time accordingly. Please show up 10 minutes before the bus leaves. Bus tickets are not refundable and only apply to the indicated shuttle pickup time on this ticket.
If you were unable to purchase a shuttle ticket but would still like to take a shuttle, please standby in the waitlist line at the Faculty Club in case there are extra spots. If you are late for your shuttle time, you will have to wait in the waitlist line until the next available spot opens up.
To guarantee a spot on the shuttle at your desired return time after the event, please line up for the shuttle at least 10 minutes before it leaves. Once shuttles are full, we cannot accommodate more passengers.
