Why does SDCC need to advertise?

[innocuous]

While driving this afternoon, I had my car radio tuned to KROQ in Los Angeles. A commercial came on for San Diego comic-con. The theme was go register to attend.

 

4 day passes are sold out, Saturday is sold out, hotels are sold out. Does SDCC need to advertise? How is this the best use of non-profit funds?

I guess SDCC wants to guarantee 100% sell out on tix to satisfy the well-moneyed media and gaming booths since North America is in recession. 1 million ppl out of work in Canada; at least 10 million layed off in USA and increasing.

 

Even if 10% of the SDCC crowd decide not to show up due to $350 + tax/night hotels, they would be easily replaced by 15% trying to get in. Fanboy and fangirl discretionary $$$.

Was it the Jedd the fish show.....or maybe Frasier Smith? prob not....those are KROQ guys.......from waaaaayyyy back.....

They are a non-profit so I think they have to spend any extra money they have. Just a guess.

Pay artists to do free sketches.

Jedd the Fish, I believe, is still DJing on KROQ.
