One thing I like (because I always get a souvenir program) is that you can buy program at any time - so you don't have to look after it during an event.

1. GENERAL SALE TICKET INFORMATION
1. GENERAL SALE TICKET INFORMATION
- One option is to forego the packages and book everything separately. There's a trade off here: Value for increased hassle.
- In general, it's best to be ready to buy your tickets DAY-OF to ensure the best seats. It usually takes a while for things to sell out (Axxess, especially, tends to have availability almost up to the event), but you don't want to get caught having to hit StubHub for tickets at beefed-up prices.
- PRESALE: There should be a presale on Ticketmaster a few days before the general sale. You will require codes to access this sale. Follow @Wrestlemania and @LevisStadium on Twitter and keep an eye out on this forum and the dirtsheets for all the codes, which will be easy to find.
- International buyers will have to pick their tickets up at Will Call (not a major hassle this year). US buyers can get theirs delivered. Last year, Ticketmaster added an option for international buyers to print at home for WrestleMania (not RAW).
- In previous years, people have gamed the system by opening a separate (US) Ticketmaster account and transferring their tickets, thus being able to print 'em out and skip Will Call.
POLICIES FOR WRESTLEMANIA, HoF & RAW:
* Camera lenses cannot exceed 6" when fully extended. No video cameras are allowed.
*For Levi's Stadium, they follow the standard NFL bag policy as well as their own additional security policies. Be advised that the sign/banner policy would most likely be lifted for this event.

*Will update with seating chart*
- The Hall of Fame is a long night of speeches and little in the way of action. If you're not that into the history of wrestling, you may get bored. Otherwise, it's a great event.
- Lots of fans like to suit up for the HoF, but casual attire is fine.

2. TRANSPORT & ACCOMMODATION
2. TRANSPORT & ACCOMMODATION
FLIGHTS:
- For flight deals, try Skyscanner.net, Farecompare.com or Kayak.com.
- Try a few configurations. There's plenty of airports in the US - try breaking up your flight: fly into a hub airport, and then book an onward flight to San Jose, Oakland or San Francisco. Alternatively, try booking a flight to nearby airports and taxi/bus/train to San Jose/Santa Clara.
- In the USA, flying is often just as cheap (and much faster!) as going by train or bus, so don't assume ground transport will be the best value.
- Local airlines may have deals: Delta, AirTran, JetBlue SouthWest or Spirit (Oakland Only). Many will charge separately for hold luggage and other perks.
- Their are 3 airports to choose from : San Fran and Oakland (38 Minutes away from Levi's Stadium) and San Jose (10 minutes away from Levi's Stadium).
- Unlike New Orleans, you will be able to get to the Bay Area easy VIA Amtrak. Use Code V636 to save 15% off of your travel, expires 8/31
ACCOMMODATION:
- For hotel deals, try sites like Hotwire.com, Kayak.com, Hotels.com, Booking.com or Lastminute.com.
- It's also worth noting that if you spot a deal or hotel you like, you should check that hotel's official site as well before booking.
- There may also be some late releases from the WrestleCon hotels.
- For apartments & rooms, try AirBnB.com.
- For hostels, try Hostelworld.com.
GETTING AROUND THE BAY AREA:
- VTA.org will give you information about getting around San Jose and Silicon Valley
- Bart.org will give you information about getting around San Francisco and Oakland
- Caltrain.com will give you information to get between San Francisco and San Jose
- Be advised, It is 8.5 miles from Downtown San Jose to Levi's Stadium. Both VTA and CalTrans will have service going to and from the Stadium, it is unclear if AmTrak will as well.

Lake Tahoe
Yosemite National Park

(Roughly within a 8 hour drive)

FOOD & DRINK:
- (Area I will need help in filling in for food. The Bay area is known for seafood and San Francisco style burritos. There is a Chinatown in SF and a Japantown in SJ)
- Drinking age in the US is 21, and it's extremely rare to find any bar or shop that doesn't require ID. For international visitors, this usually means you'll have to carry your passport to bars, etc, as often this is the only form of international ID that will be accepted.
- Do a bit of research and you can find something a bit more authentic to suit any budget.
Local delicacies include:
Definally eating:Links to menus inside names of restaurants.
Carl's Jr.: Fast food burgers with unique combinations. Favorites are the Western Bacon Cheeseburger (Onion Rings, Bacon and Smoky BBQ sauce) and the Santa Fe Chicken Sandwich (Green Chilie and Santa Fe Sauce which is a bold mildly spicy sauce.) Haven't ate there since moving back east.
In-n-Out: Fresh fast food burger joint. Personal favorite is the cheeseburger (single or double-double), grilled whole onion, made animal style (extra thousand island sauce, melted cheese and patty is marinated in mustard before grilling) extra toast (bun is grilled), animal style fries, well done (extra crispy) and either Bubble Up (7-Up/Pink Lemonade Mix) or a neapolitan shake (strawberry, chocolate and vanilla shale in one cup)
GHIRARDELLI Ice Cream And Chocolate Shop in SF: Ice Cream Sundaes
Chick-Fil-A: Fast Food chicken sandwich's. Personal recommendation is a Spicy Chicken Biscuit for breakfast, honey on the side or a Spicy Chicken Sandwich with Jack Cheese and mayo on the side for lunch/dinner with waffle fries and lemonade.
BJ's Restaurant and Brewery: American causal fare with hand crafted sodas, microbrew beers and home of the Pizookie, a fresh baked pan cookie in several flavors topped with ice cream. Food is pretty good
Fogo de Chao: Brazilian Steakhouse, all you can eat table side service. Has a world class salad bar to boot.
Iguanas Home of the Burritozilla: SF style mexican street food (tortas, tacos, burritos)
The Poor House: Authentic New Orleans food. I seriously need a po boy and a beignet. Been having withdraws since leaving New Orleans.
Probably eating:
El Pollo Loco: Mexican style fast food grilled chicken.
Will not be eating but would recommend:
The Cheesecake Factory: Huge portions of everything, plus cheesecake. Recommend the Buffalo Blast (Buffalo Chicken and cheese wrapped in won tong wrappers, deep fried and served with buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing) Several cheesecakes that I like include the Trimisu, Red Velvet, Godiva Chocolate and Reese's PB.
The Boiling Crab: Seafood: Famous for low country/cajun boil. Do not recommend if you do not eat shellfish.
Red Robin: Specialty Burgers with unlimited fries. Personal recommendation: Blue Ribbon Burger

- San Fran tourist centre is very LGBT-friendly, with several gay clubs & bars.
