Comic Con 2008 Registration Open

[vespagirl]

I don't mind paying more if it means less irritating crowds. I'll consider that a convenience fee. This early registration motivated me to reserve my room this past weekend.

 

[The Josh]

Yeah, if it can cut down a little on the crowds I'm down for it.

Got my registration in! Now to book a room

 

[CAhobbit]

It's getting more expensive each year. With the $75 registration fee, preview night may not be so crowded next year.

I sure hope so. Having the big crowds at preview night the last couple of years has been so annoying.

Thanks for the reminder Zoomaround! I wasn't sure I was going to make it Comic-con next year but it looks like I will. So my ticket has been bought (I wish I had remembered to buy it at the convention though).

No, he can't afford the extra 20 bucks over 4 days.

The plan is still to go but it's not 100% sure this far away. I just hate having $20 less to spend on beer when I'm there. But $20 isn't that bad, I'll just have to flip something to make up the difference.

Me too. I just saw this thread and couldn't believe they opened registration so early, and raised the price to $75 bucks after the 17. I placed my order this morning around 12:45 am PST, and it went through for $55 bucks, so it looks like I might have sneaked in with the lower price.

Sorry for the necropost here guys, but I have some questions. I've never been to San Diego comic-con. But I live a short 6 hours away and can get a room through a family timeshare (dont EVER buy a timeshare BTW). Actually, I already booked it this morning for 7/26-7/28 (Sat-Mon) only times I could get. So, my questions are:


Is there enough to do to spend 2 full days there?

Is there enough to do to spend 4 full days there?

The 4 day passes are still available at $75, how much were single day passes?

Did they sell out last year? By when? Should I reserve NOW?

Do sideshow freaks get together and party? None of my friends are really into the comics/collectibles anymore.

How are exclusives handled? do they have to be ordered in advance, or at the show?



any info would be appreciated.

Is there enough to do to spend 2 full days there?Is there enough to do to spend 4 full days there?

Yes, to both.

I think they where $25 a day last year.

Did they sell out last year? By when? Should I reserve NOW?

Yeah, like every day.

Do sideshow freaks get together and party? None of my friends are really into the comics/collectibles anymore.

We're freaks what do you think? Yes, we do. Eat lunch, walk around, go bar hopping, etc.

How are exclusives handled? do they have to be ordered in advance, or at the show?

PO before. Pick up at the show.

Is it too early to ask if I can crash with anyone one for 2009?

Never too early...

 

[Mesa]

Alright, thanks guys. I'm definately going, just have to decide on 2 or 4 days. I'll be in touch through the boards.

I just didn't want to end up driving out there, walking the center, and have no one to drink with. Yes, I am a geek, collect toys, and play video games, but I like to get my drink on, regularly while on vacation.

 

[Darth Loki]

Never too early...

No smiley, I'm being serious.

I really wanna make it out for next year's Con but I will need a place to crash in order to afford it.

Why wait for 2009, I am sure I can make some room in 2008.
