HOTEL RATES
Due to a large conference being held in downtown San Diego at the same time as Barristers Ball, the Hyatt has not provided us with a substantial student discount. The discounted room rate for Barristers Ball is $269/night. To book a room, visit this link: https://resweb.passkey.com/Resweb.do?mode=welcome_ei_new&eventID=6790436
If you book a room over the phone, please indicate that you are with TJSL (booking via the website will inform the hotel automatically). If you have already booked over the phone and did not indicate that you are a TJSL student, please call and inform them. Thank you.
GROUP SEATING REQUESTS (OPTIONAL)
Also located at the ticketing table will be group seating forms. On the forms will be spaces for the names of ten people—these will be used to produce the seating chart for the event. Only complete forms with ten people who have all purchased tickets listed will be accepted.
If you do not want to sign up with a group of ten, you will be able to choose your seat on the night of the event.
