I am going to fly 8000 over miles to attend the convention and it is my first time. Looking forward to a great exhibition next month!
To all of you attending comic con this year for the first time, how did you manage to do it? I swear, I had three laptop (hardwired) and an iPad all ready to go. My down and up speeds are not all that bad (40 mbp's). And at 9:00 am sharp everything went to hell, connection froze, and that was that. Any advice as to how to do it next year?
I'm in the same boat as you, and now im gonna have to pay double to get in this year.
Online sales made me real nervous because I don't have a great connection. But, it was also nice that I got to actually enjoy SDCC instead of using my Thursday morning waiting to buy tix. I enjoyed SDCC immensely but when it was over, I was freaking out because I usually have tix before the end of show. 2010 and every year before, you could just walk up and buy them. Because preview night sold out in 2010, it made the tix sales each year after exponentially more stressful and in demand. 2011, you had to wait in line for hours. I remember the line wrapped around the marina and then back around!Part of the problem is, it has grown too much too quickly. I've been going for 5 years now and I'm pretty sure the ticket purchasing process has changed every year. There are SO many people trying to buy a finite number of tickets, and clearly the only way to do it fairly is through the internet....which crashes their servers every year.
One of these years they'll go with Ticketmaster and although nothing will crash, we'll all end up paying $20 / day in "service charges".
Two years ago, you could buy tickets for the 2012 SDCC at 2011 SDCC. But to do so, you had to line up outside of a hotel very early in the morning and spend several hours waiting. I did that, got there at 5am and got my tix at around 8:30-8:45?
It SUCKED having to get up so early and spend so much time down there just to get tickets....BUT, it was nice to have peace of mind knowing that I already was set for next year.
Then in 2012 they didn't do that, everything was online. So I didn't have to waste 4 hours down there buying tickets, BUT i was a nervous wreck trying to get them online. I did get them, and only spend about an hour, and was in the comfort of my own home.....but there was something to be said for having them before the previous con was over.
When do the tickets for sdcc go on sale?
