Thanks for the update Big Mike.

 

Another sell out for the 4 day passes. :o

Even in a bad economy, people still want to be entertained.

 

I happened to check the website yesterday and 4 day passes were still available (status showed 96% sold out). I guess with hotel "lottery" fast approaching, people were focused in and bought their passes immediately. Can you imagine being the next online buyer when the screen flashes sold out? Aaaarrrrgggghhh. :frustrated:

 

Thursday - 3% sold

Friday - 5% sold

Saturday - 18% sold

Sunday - 3% sold

 

You miss preview night but you can still buy single day tickets. It will be a bit more expensive but at least you aren't completely shut out of the show.

 

Cheers!

My brother called me in a panic yesterday afternoon, "The 4 day passes are 96% sold out. Get your pass now! Hurry! " We did manage to get our passes but we were probably some of the last to get them.

 

Looking forward to the festivities this year. Hope to meet even more forumites. Now have to figure out a place to stay...

It was 70% wednesday and when I check yesterday morning at work the indicator bar is red and has only 96% left, I quickly get my checkcard and bought two 4 day passes.

bLauren,

If this is your 1st trip to SDCC, you will need at least 3 full days at Comic-con. Budget 1 full day for Balboa Park, the zoo, and their 18 museums. Budget 1 day for the SD aquarium, if you have a rental car and plan to drive north a bit.

 

The Sat. at SDCC is when there will be 6k ppl in line ups for the tv/movie panels to get close to the star actors (e.g. Smallville cast, hot tv series being released for Sept/09, start of viral marketing for upcoming action films, etc.) Think Sat and Sun. are also the SDCC "charity" original art auction in the afternoons. Sat. evening for mega-costume contest (not just cosplay). :blahblah:

This used to be the case, but now there are too many great movie/tv panels, and they're spread out over all four days. There's literally great stuff every day.
