San Diego will again be packed to the gills with geeks of all stripes this July, as all attendee badges for San Diego Comic-Con 2013 sold out in just over an hour and a half, barely shy of the record set in 2012. But many fans came up empty-handed and feeling ripped off because of problems that plagued the convention’s complicated badge sales system for the second year in a row. Passes went on sale this morning at 9:00 AM Pacific, and as disappointed fans found out via the convention’s Twitter account, they disappeared fast. By 9:53, 4-day badges and 4-day badges with access to preview night were gone. 15 minutes later, Friday and Saturday single day badges were snapped up and by 10:36 it was all over.

That's funny. I remember Comic-con selling out years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhat a joke. I sat around for an hour of that staring at a blank screen to get into the waiting room and then the next 30 minutes at a frozen number. Comic Con needs to find a better system. It use to be easy to get tickets and now it's just a broken system because they wanted to "improve".
ReplyDeleteI got lucky enough to have tickets for SDCC 2011 but I remember fighting hard to get it. They really should improve their system.
