[BadMoon]

Just bought my ticket too! First time attendee here!

Does anybody want to share his/her house/hotel room with two tall, nice looking, brown haired, young spanish women? lmao

You know, flight ticket from Spain´s about $1000 right now, I need to save some money so I can have lunch too, at least from time to time... lol

Hmmm....anyone want to loan me a house? I may go to comicon after all.

 

[King Darkness]

Best way to a man´s heart... (and bed!)

Can people name some of the hotels close to the convention center so I can start shopping around for options. I've done a hotels.com search for San Diego but since many of you go every year, I figure you could make some recomendations.

I know the Hard Rock is right across the street. Then you have the Hyatt and the Hilton I believe. This upcoming year I plan on staying in one of those. Plus the gas lamp quarters is right there, the Field here I come

4 Day passes WITH preview night are now SOLD OUT!

WOW!!! That was fast! Glad I got mine when I did.

 

[Wetanut]

Amazed they went so fast. Someone mentioned 13K allocated for Preview night, but wonder exactly how many it actually was. Good news I hope....maybe we'll be able to actually see something on preview night this go around instead of avoiding the crush.

 

[Mesa]

damn, that was fast. Glad I got mine a couple weeks ago.

Glad I bought my tickets back in July at the Convention.


Hopefully Preview Night won't be such a zoo next year. This year was just total chaos.

 

[Silent December]

damn...assed out. Oh well.

 

[Mesa]

damn...assed out. Oh well.

I know I told everyone no complaining when they sell out, and I'm not implying you are complaining, but I don't think many of us thought it would sell out this quickly. Certainly caught me off guard. That was FAST. Just 2-3 months after this year's con, and already next years is sold out. Crazy.

My fear is that the con will get too big and either have to move, where I may not be able to attend, or it get so expensive or limited attendance like they tried with E3. I'm cool with $100 for tickets, not with a whole lot more than that.

 

[Silent December]

As long as I don't get assed out of the freaks party 2010, I think I'll be ok lol

Got my 4 day pass before that sells out too.

 

[Mesa]

Good idea.

You know what, even though these passes sold out, I think it's mostly from an honest fan base, meaning, I don't think it's a bunch of scalpers pickign these tickets up. I have yet to see a scalper try to sell me tickets on my way to the convention center.

 

[zimbo]

Glad I got my pass booked, been looking into airfares and hotel accomodation for the duration of SDCC and it aint cheap!!
hopefully I wont have to cancell my plans to come over for this. Think most if not all the hotels have or are bumping up their prices during the convention...

Comic Con has been going down hill since I first attended in '97. It has become an industry trade show and caters almost primarily to the studios. This is why you pay 30%-50% over peak season rates for a hotel when you go. It's price gouging, pure and simple, but nobody will do anything about it.

I used to love going to "Con", but unfortunately, this may be it for me. I guess I'll just have to watch it through all the news outlets where they'll point out the extreme contrast between the "beautiful" Hollywood people and the "nerds" of con. I'll get to hear how every young star or starlet pretends to "love" comics as they walk down the red carpet to promote some POS genre movie.

Eventually, there won't be an artist's alley where you can talk to people like Mike Kaluta, Sergio Aragones etc. It'll be replaced by the already growing group of "retired" actors shilling autographs. There will be fewer and fewer artists and writers talking about the craft of making comic books. They'll just be talking about how to sell your comics to the studios. Finally, there won't even be comic books. There'll just be studio booths handing out free promotional bags to carry more free studio hand outs and actor autographs in.

What used to be a cool vacation with friends has turned into an expensive trip where I get to hear "creative" execs make fun of all the "nerds" on the train ride down.

If I sound bitter, well, I am. I LOVE comics and grew up reading and making them. I also love movies and work in the film industry. I just think big business has come in and corrupted both of these things I'm so passionate about.

Sorry about the rant. It's just seems like this year might be when the show finally implodes on itself and it's a sad, sad thing.
