When we finally got in the "waiting room" i was 30,000 or so and taxman had a 31,000 number. By the time i got a registration page (over an hour) it let me buy one sunday only pass.

Move your show to a city where those who want to attend, can . . . Like las vegas?

no.

After going to SDCC for 8 straight years, I am ready for them to move to Vegas. I hope Wonder-Con is enough to tide me over this year.

San Diego is an amazing town and I love SDCC. I just wish the registration process was better.

I was able to buy a 4 day with preview a few minutes after they opened up this morning no problem. But I also bought 4 one day passes on site at the 2011 SDCC. I was planning to submit those for refund but I would be happy to hook someone here up instead.

PM me if your interested. BTW I'm just looking for my costs and not trying to scalp the tickets

It was seriously undervalued at $50. I think $175 is a little high, but not much considering just how much goes on at SDCC.
At $50, I think NYCC is undervalued as well. We usually pick up the VIP tickets which go for $350, but the early access, VIP lounge with drinks, snacks and free coat/stuff check and the guaranteed seating are well worth it to us.

Yeah, I think the first time I went a full 4day + preview night pass was in the $60-75 range...not all that many years ago. At the time, I remember telling my wife that there was really nothing else I could do for 4 1/2 days for that price. Of course, I also just went online near when the tickets went on sale (maybe a few days after) and snagged a pass. No tens of thousands in the online queue ahead of me. It's kind of insane how much SDCC has exploded in just a few years. I'm hoping to land a pass and find a way to get there inexpensively again this year, but I'm sure there will come a day in the very near future when I'm just no longer able to make it work. That will be a sad day. But I definitely want it to stay in SD...such a beautiful place and wonderful location for the convention.
