Cool. Just booked myself for the Wondercon and received an outstanding deal. Went through Hotels.com again. Found a pretty decent but inexpensive hotel, Hotel Metropolis just five blocks away from the Moscone for three nights plus round trip airfare from Seattle and round trip shuttle transfers from the airport for just $375 total. Great flight times too. Lookin' forwards to it. San Fran seems to be home of many Forumites which also makes it a cool place. thumbsup2.gif

Anyone one know what the final attendance number was for Comic-Con 2004? I know it was up from last year. I've heard anywhere from 70,000 to as high as 100,00 people attended, but never got an exact figure. confused-smiley-013.gif

Nope, I was there last year.

 

It's a well run Con. Unlike the San Diego Con, which is all voluntier, it's a "for profit" Con, and with that they hire people to do the job correctly. Very organized (but smaller).

 

While the San Diego Con is the "Creme de la Creme" of the Con's, they could learn a lot: 1) sell advance tickets, get rid of those Lllooonnngggg lines around the building) and 2)people will pay the extrs $5.00 to $10.00 to have a well organized convention. Just MHO.

 

At any rate, I would pay the extra for it!! makepoint.gif

 

I hope to meet you & POV there! 893applaud-thumb.gifthumbsup2.gif

I've been to the last 12 San Diego cons in a row. I have bought advance tickets EVERY single time and have only stood in short lines waiting to get in. And that is only if I want to get in at the open. Show up 30 minutes after the open and there is no line. As a matter of fact, the only disorganization I have seen is regarding the opening, which is sometimes a little late. So I wait until 30 mins past and never have a problem. Advance tickets can be purchased off the comic-con.org website and have always been available there. I absolutely cannot understand why so many people do not buy advance tickets as those lines for walk-ins are unbelievable. I do not believe that is their fault though as they make advance ticket purchases available for months.

WC is now owned by SD, so it is now a "non-profit" show and I am pretty sure the prices for tables and admission will be going up frown.gif Still, it's a great show! yay.gif
