Chip, type in San Diego Comic Con in your search engine it like all Comic Cons of any national level have a site. It will update the list of creators as they confirm attendance and can go up to the last minute. The SDCC is usually in the last week of July but I don't know exact dates. I am not going as I am on the opposite coast howevefr I will again attend the Heroes Con in Charlotte and instead of a print hopefully get a Dooney commission sketch and it won't be a Dooney Girl but a turtle or two!

[Chipzard]

Cool thanx man, oy July...I might go to Las Vegas for Deaf Expo at that time, also AHS (Alhambra High School Reunion) over there too! Gonna see how I'm gonna work it out, thanx for the info though, I"ll see what I can do, and my gf is moving here in the summer too, wish me luck!

This years San Diego Comic Con is July 12th-15th I'll be there the 12th and 13th I'm hoping to get some exclusives from Nickelodeon and hopefully get some stuff signed by Eastman.

[Slash32]

I'm hoping this will be the exclusive at comic con cause if it is I'm going to get like 4 sets

[IamtheKnight]

I wanted to go but all of the tickets were sold out. Maybe next year.

[GK Punk]

As a regular con goer, I've given up on comic con I think. I don't like the way it's ran anymore and they've made it far to difficult to get hotels and passes compared to not only previous years, but other cons. (Even ones ran by the same people!) But that's just me, I do know plenty of others attending this year.

[zkarlette]

I'm on the same boat , it's getting really annoying having to buy tickets way ahead of time... This year once again I missed it, ....thank goodness for Wonder con and the Anime Expo :)

[愛]

Otakon is the only convention I make time for, though I may go to the New York Comic Con next year.

I didn't even know tickets can sell out at a convention.

Comic-Con has to cut off sales based on how many people the fire marshal will allow in the convention center.

Yeah, that was my guess. That's a shame.

[Mayhem]

The remaining passes for San Diego sold out in 90 minutes this year...

[TheCanadiandrome]

This is on my bucket list of things to do. Course it's likely cheaper for me to go to a Con in Canada then to venture to San Diego, but when u wanna go to a Con, why not go with the best

[BubblyShell22]

Yeah, it's on my bucket list, too. I know it's not happening any time soon, but I hope to one day go and have fun with fellow Turtles fans.

[Biffard]

I'm new to cons and I have never been to one in the past, so please excuse my ignorance when I ask this question: Is the San Diego Comic Con really considered the "best" of all of them? I'd like to go to one and San Diego isn't exactly close but if it is the best out there then it might be worth the trip.

[TheCanadiandrome]

for sure

ok, so maybe "Best" was the wrong term, perhaps i should've said "Most Well known" of all Comic Cons

It really depends on what you want to get out of it. There's a lot to see and do, and the potential to meet some really cool people. But it is also huge and crowded. The smaller cons can give a more personal experience and you have a better chance of spending time with the attending guests. I love Comic-Con, but it's not for everybody.

i may have to plan for a trip to next years. Should be some sweet stuff for the upcoming tmnt movie.

[Archon_Turtle]

Got everything settled for this year. Heather and i are officially going :-)

PM me if you're going and want to exchange numbers.

[Wes]

Well, I'm going... or should be, anyway! I stupidly waited until now to look at hotel reservations, and I'm not feeling good about it. :tconfuse:

If anyone else is going and can spare some room and floor space or something (I have money, just not the gobs they're asking for a single room now), PLEASE shoot me a note.

Or if you just want to meet up, that'd be cool, too -- assuming I actually get there! :D

[LincolnHawk]

just wondering if any of you are going?

I went for the 1st time in 2009 and loved every min of it. Haven't been back since, but I'm def trying to work something out where I can attend next year. I do have a question for those that attend on a regular basis....I know you can purchase tickets at the con for the following years con, but I was wondering when do they usually go on sale for the public after the con....seems like I miss registration every year.

anyways....I guess we could use this thread for those that are going for the first time and want to know how the con works. I'm only saying this b/c when I went my first time, I was clueless as how the line-up process worked, for example I had to get a ticket just to get into line at a certain time. I had lined up for the hasbro line thinking I could buy something, but b/c my ticket said 2:30 and not 2:00 for which they were accepting tickets into the line, I was not allowed to purchase anything. I was told I would have to go back to the end of the line. Luckily, I had struck up a conversation while walking through the line with the guy behind me and he actually helped me out buy purchasing the items I wanted. Another helpful hint, the earlier you start lining up, the earlier you get in. I got there 30min after the con opened, and I had to wait in a line that wrapped around the convention center. It took me and my friends almost 1hr 1/2 to actually get my badge.

If you have any other questions...don't hesitate to ask.

Edit: I started this thread in a different forum sorry for the inconvenience.

bump it up
