Don't beat yourself up about it. I'm pretty sure con passes sold out within an hour or two of being available. :-I

Pfft, you'd be lucky if the sell out in an hour, I'd give it 20 minutes. :-I

General admission badge sales officially began at 9 a.m. By 10:30 a.m., every ticket to the event had vanished.

Some people around here go down to San Diego just for the events surrounding the convention, and not the convention itself.

And now the same thing happened to New York Comic Con. Just 4 years ago I was able to buy a ticket the night before. :sadrarity:

Can a fluent German speaker transcribe this for me? (Or someone link to the lyrics, that works as well)

I think they've simply outgrown the San Diego Convention Center, but there's no better facility nearby.

Yeah, I mean, the SDCC isn't the kind of place a lot of groups outgrow. :psygum:

Problem is that the San Diego Comic Convention has become a more general purpose entertainment convention with everyone showing up to do everything.

Ten years ago I jokingly called it "San Diego Big Business Conglomeration" and it's only gotten worse since then. :psygum:

It's impossible to go and actually enjoy the show these days, IMO, because you're always shoulder to shoulder with people. There's no space for anything, it's constant lines, and everyone is stressed about getting stuff.

In my final weeks in LA, a lot of the cartoon people I met with dreaded the SDCC that was coming up. Often times the only reason they went was because the Convention either invited them (and thus gets free hotel and space for booth) or because their bosses made them go there as part of their job (to promote whatever comic or series they're working on).

I only went to SDCC once, and while I had a good time, it was definitely really crowded.

Maybe it would help if the split it up. Comics one convention, cartoons and tv another, then movies.

I wonder if my friend who goes to SDCC every year feels the same way or not. I'll have to ask him. He seems to have a great time from his descriptions.

The trouble with that is that there's just no way Hasbro would license one of their hottest properties to a toy-making rival as big as The Lego Group. If we did get anything like that, it'd be with whatever Hasbro's shitty Lego knockoff is.

Blocksworld was probably cheaper to partner with.
