Tickets For This Year's San Diego Comic Con Sell Out In Just 93 Minutes

NOOOOOOO!

i hope they expand the convention center someday. last year was ridiculously packed.

I got my tickets for the 4 days. Just in time too. Can't wait to see all the cool stuff.

A group of ten us my friends went on to buy tickets right at the hour. One person got in at place 2k and got 4 tickets pretty fast. My computer said it was going to the waiting room within seconds, but the page never finished loading. One of my friends was at 10k, but after getting down to 4k it stopped refreshing and she never reached the front of the line. One more of us was able to get in (the rest of us were stuck with staring at spinning wheels on our screens, afraid that by refreshing we'd lose our spots) at place 36k but somehow beat everyone else in, even the person who had been at 2k. All in all, 8 of us got the tickets we were looking for. We're hoping to pick up some for the last two when the resales come around in a few months.

All said, something was seriously messed up with the buying process. Again. But at least it wasn't as bad as 2 years ago.

@snik apparently some of the browsers weren't refreshing automatically like they were supposed to, so they never moved up and the system saw them as "giving up their spot" I was 1700 in line then I got kicked from the waiting room because it timed out completely. I refreshed the page and suddenly I was at 200 then got in a minute later.

My first S.D con was in 2002 I was 18 my best friend and I did 10 straight Im gonna miss the traffic , walking and the cool times we took his wife and my girlfriend last year for our last one and they finally understood what all the fuss was about their two "Penny's" Not as hot but cute enough BAZZINGA! To anybody going for the first time get ready memorable experience that you will carry forever.

O_o

Is this what I have to look forward to when I get my tickets for next years con? Goddamn, the really need to refine the way they sell tickets, give everybody a fair chance! Perhaps they could limit it to 1000 tickets every hour, because some people may not be able to get them that early, being at work and whatnot.

Goin Thursday and Saturday ^^ The system they use is complete shit though!!!

The system is the dumbest thing ever, I agree with Relentless, I did it last year and got screwed by some Mozilla thing they failed to mention, wanted 4 days, only got Thurs & Sun, all in all it was still an epic experience though, and I love SD

@Marauder I would love one in MD! BCC never really appealed to me just cuz SDCC is so amazing

wonder which comic movies from next year will have a presence. hopefully X-men Days of future past
would be great to have the full cast this year

Got passes for two days last August.I was hoping to upgrade to 4 days today but the waiting room page never fully loaded at 9am.By the time I got back out to the green clicker and tried again the game was up. I'm grateful I'm going this year,but I'm giving serious thought to not going anymore after eight years because of the crowding and insane ticket issues.

Anybody else out there who lives in (like I do) or can get to southern California this spring should consider Wonder Con as a plan B. I went to my first one last March in Anaheim and had a better time. The floor space was limited last year but that won't be a problem this year.The shopping experience was better then San Diego because the smaller crowd was not shoving.I could take my time flipping through comics and toys.

Wonder Con is starting to get major summer movie panels.On a Saturday, I was able to walk in on the Prometheus /Abe Lincoln Vampire hunter panel with no fuss. Later that day The Amazing Spider-Man held a panel.

DC /Warner animation has started using the event to role out world premires of movies like Superman vs the Elite last year and Superman Unbound this year.

There is a good chance that spring and summer films like the Evil Dead,Oblivion,Man of Steel,The Hangover 2 and World War Zand the Wolverine that didn't have much to show or skipped Comic Con entirely last year will show up as a last chance to create more buzz and in Man of Steel's case preview the third trailer ahead of it's april debut.Perhaps at a full MoS panel with Amy Adams and Michael Shannon joining Henry Cavill and Zack Snyder.

There are much shorter lines in for of the celebs,artists and writers. I really enjoyed
having the opportunity to talk with creative people without feeling the pressure to "move on" I get at Comic Con.

My heart goes out to those who get left out this year,but I just want people to
know Comic Con organizers have been setting up Wonder Con as a spill over event
since they have moved it from San Francisco 2 years ago and they intend to stay in Anaheim in some form of spring convention regardless of Wonder Con returning to the Bay area.(which is looking doubtful)

If your going to San Diego this year or not,give Wonder Con a shot.

Some Day.....Till Then I'll Have Little Old Mega-con.

@Jayman109

The artist alley at Wonder Con was quite large,not Comic Con large but still very good.
Jim Lee was there last year and will be returning this March. Other artists coming this year are Doug Mahnake, Amanda Conner and classic artists like Boris Vallejo and Steranko.

There should be more SDCC's per year.

For us less smelly people with jobs that don't pre-anything.

Freakin A!!!! I went food shopping, tha damn line took forever, my phone was dead already and i got back to a computer @1050 this morning!.....i felt like the dude from Forgetting Sarah Marshall cryin in the hotel room today...

Damn! So much for going to SDCC this year.

Should be big lines again for Hall-H this year.

Summet/Lionsgate,and Universal for Thursday.

Fox with a huge X-MEN day with The Wolverine/X-Men DOFP and Dawn of the Planet of the Apes.

Heavy hitters like WB(Godzilla,The Hobbit) and Disney/Marvel/Lucasfilm on Saturday.

Too much.
