Ah Comic Con! I've been attending your show since 2006. I had to Volunteer that year because it was a last minute choice to go. Getting to volunteer, the registering, assignments, were all a piece of cake.
I came back in 2007 with Jaime. We also volunteered that year because we couldn't find cheap flights and were only there for 3 days. Volunteering was a little tough with having registration take a while but it go done.
We decided that in 2008, we will register. We were actually able to get our hotel first and then get our tickets.
In 2009. tickets were selling out before reg opened for Hotels. We had to get our tickets before we got our hotel. Luckily, we are able to score a hotel and not have to worry about getting refunds.
While at the con, we heard that they were capping preview night and tickets for 4 days were now 100 bucks. We were so broke from shopping, we opted to wait till we got home.
Start of Nov. and they were already sold out of 4 days passes with preview night. Non preview night were still on sale. I was waiting for payday.
2 days for payday, they sold out too. 4 day passes sold out in NOVEMEBER.
We had to settle for 1 day passes for each day.
They went on sale today. The system makes you buy each day as it's own transaction. 4 days times 2 people, that 8 of them. My credit card is going to be thinking WTF?
I managed to buy 2 Friday and 2 Saturday passes for Jaime and I. The system got way to slow and I'm out of money. I'll have to wait till payday for Thursday day pass.
Every year, its gets more and more crazy. They should of figured out how to get the system to allow us to get each day pass in one shot. They should of figured those of us that missed the 4 days passes would be buying single passes.
Granted, it's my fault for not paying attention and thinking pass would sell out early next year. Now I know better.
Now to wait for March for Comic Con Hotels. Ticket reg is nothing compared to getting a hotel room.
