No real surprises here; we knew Open Registration wasn't going to be WonderCon weekend or Easter weekend. And we have a healthy amount of advance notice, which means you have time to make arrangements with your buying group, borrow your brother's credit card, and fake a convincing illness for your job.
When we get closer I'll post some crystal-clear advice for first-timers, who often have no idea what they're in for. (You can read this and this and this in the meantime.) Until then, get working on every hoodo spell you know.
8 April: your final reckoning with your San Diego Comic-Con 2017 fate... Until the hotel sale, that is.
Man, when I heard the news (I discovered through their twitter account), I started to sweat. Just as you mentioned, I need to get my green bell peppers all in a row. Lol! But there's a tiny part of me that knows I probably won't get a pass. If that's the case, I'll head on over to WonderCon next year. Comicon here in town, I feel, has become exclusive rather than inclusive. More people are shut out than those who can get it. I don't like that at all.
ReplyDeleteWhy do you think you won't get a pass? Are you working with a group?
DeletePast history of not getting a pass. Such a hassle sometimes. No, I'm not in a group. Does being in a group increase my chances?
DeleteYes... exponentially. Email me at sdccguide@gmail.com if you need direction.
DeleteI have a member account. Can I get badges for my girlfriend who didn't get one?
ReplyDeleteNo. Sorry. You can only buy for someone who has a Member ID.
DeleteAre you covering new york comicon?
ReplyDeleteNot this year...
