I might go. Haven't made up my mind yet.

$5? Wow.

$5? Wow.

Well, this is a much smaller show, compared to the events they do in the summer and October. Most of the guests are artists from comic books, hence this being a "Comic Con". A $10 "Speedpass" will be sold at the door, which gets you priority placement in media autograph lines, and a few free giveaways like posters and such.

Give Niles a kiss for me....with tongue.

I only want to go if big celebs and movie announcements with trailers and such would be there.

 

[Moviefan2k4]

Well, the summer shows are usually bigger, although if you're expecting trailers and such, you may want to stick with the Wizard shows (Texas' show happens every November).

How did I not know about this?

 

[KALEL114]

I will probably be there as well. Maybe I'll see some of you up there.

Question, why do they start selling tickets at 10 and open at 11? What are the tickets limited?

 

[Moviefan2k4]

I don't think the General Admission tickets are limited, but the Speedpasses usually are. It varies between shows, but more often than not, they only issue about 300 of them.
