Its not too early to talk about BALTIMORE

[langur88]

Does anyone know when online ticket sales usually begin? We're less than two months out, and I still can't buy tickets for this thing...!

 

I like to get everything done well ahead of time...

See you there.

I'm contemplating going to this show. My birthday is Friday the 8th, so this would be a great birthday gift to myself. My wife and I are getting divorced (no, it's a good thing), and I was planning on driving her back to Pittsburgh sometime around Labor Day anyway. I could rent a car from Pittsburgh to Baltimore, and get a 1-way flight home to Phoenix on Southwest for $173. Maybe I will!

You definitely should.It's one of the best pure comics shows out there and the Geppi museum is opening,although I don't know how difficult it will be to get in to the miseum on THAT weekend.If you love fairly big shows with PLENTY of comics,You'll love it.My only regret about going to B-more was not having the presence of mind to snag the restored Marvel Mystery 28 (app 6.5) for $ 350 .GOD BLESS...

I've only been to San Diego (well, and Phoenix, but that doesn't count). I wouldn't be surprised if Baltimore has a better comic selection than San Diego.

Good luck finding something that isn't booked.

[arexcrooke]

Should I go ahead and buy my ticket via Ticketmaster or just get it the day of the show? Are the lines really long and it takes forever to get in?

You could always stay at one of the numerous hotels by BWI and take a POS rental car into baltimore...it's not like you're driving into DC.

[esquirecomics]

Every hotel on the list is booked for Fri/Sat.

Do you know if you can drop off CGC submissions at the con?
