San Diego Comic Con Tickets On Sale February 5, 2011
It’s a new year.
February 5, 2011 – 9 AM Pacific time.
HERE.
NOTE – YOU CANNOT resell the ticket. It is assigned to your name & the names of others who you are buying for.
You will need to show up with an actual ID in SD … so unless you find another person who’s official ID name MATCHES yours – they will NOT be able to complete registration there and get the actual badge to go inside. (you need the confirmation note plus a driver’s license-passport).
Preview night is SOLD OUT. You could buy the 5-day ticket pass at last year’s Comic Con.
If you’re wondering about individual days …
THURSDAY – Massively packed. If your interest is buying very limited items (500 or fewer), love being able to move about in a hall without your feet touching the ground or you must attend some Hollywood sessions-panels, then consider a Thursday ticket. It is a mad crush of people so you will not cover much ground.
FRIDAY – Actually is kind of a lighter day for being on the floor as most of the serious buyers are gone by the early afternoon so buying lines will actually break up. And lots of Hollywood movie panels & sessions. Some limited items for sale will be sold out by end of Friday.
SATURDAY – Busy and packed again as people who actually work M-F arrive (what’s up with that? 🙂 ). So, long lines for most things – freebies mostly last until end of Saturday. Fewer Hollywood sessions.
SUNDAY – Less packed, more kids. Not as many freebies (mostly given away already) – lines much shorter. Bargain hagglers can start in the afternoon with, “you don’t want to carry that all the way back to Omaha, do you, I’ll give you $25 for it.” Not many panels-sessions with heavyweights.
Prediction – After the 4-day passes sell out – Thursday only tix will sell out first, Saturday – next, then Friday and – Sunday will hold on the longest.
Good luck and hope to see you there.
* Kids 11 and under with paying adult are free. Kids 12-17 pay Junior prices. Seniors 60 years or older pay the Junior/Senior reduced price. Active Military with ID can pay the Junior/Senior price. This deal does not extend to dependents.

Dear Comic-Con International Fans
In 2009, it sold out after 6 months. In 2010, it sold out in 2 months. On Saturday, Comic-Con International 2011 sold out in 7 HOURS (200x faster than last year if you’re keeping track). Needless to say, the demand was unbelievable, reaching a peak of 403,000 page requests per minute and a total of more than 35 million total page requests throughout the day. But while the event sold out in record time and the system never actually went down, things didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped. We are sorry for the frustration our system issues caused on Saturday and we are working hard to answer all of your inquiries. Here you will find the answers to the most common questions regarding ticket sales for Comic-Con International, and we are working with Amazon Web Services to release a more detailed technical analysis later this week for those who are interested.
When will tickets go on sale again?
At this time, Comic-Con International 2011 is sold out. As refunds are processed, more tickets may become available to purchase at a later date. Please refer to Comic-Con’s website, Facebook page or Twitter page for the latest updates.
Got kind of screwed over this morning. After an hour and a half, I only got Friday 🙁 I can’t believe all 4 days sold out in one day. So bummed.
(MET: There’s a lot of people who buy hoping they get 5 days off in SD in July and then when they don’t – RE-TURN … so keep checking back).
Heres the direct link:

It will go live in one hour
2 minutes to go and we already have this:
We are currently over capacity.
Try again momentarily
down again for maintenence, shees
This is nuts!!! I am so frustrated. They have to do something different. Maybe open to renewals first then new attendees. That’s how they do the professionals. They are never going to be able to handle this.
I got as far as selecting the ticket:

You and I both. This year has been a real pain. I had to book my room first this year because of the bugs and it is non refundable. Has me a little freaked.
I doubled up on the reservations this year after a near paperwork accident last year, So I have double rooms setup
