If you don't already have your badge you won't be able to get in. As for some tips, it depends on what you're most into

Posted by: skamanfu on Jul 11, 14:33 in response to gogreenytd's post Im going to be in San Diego in time for the Comic Con....

1. TV/Movies -- Hall H used to be where it's at, which is great, as it is the biggest room. Unfortunately, people camp out in there all day to make sure they attend the panel they most want to see, so therefore you might have to sit through something you don't like to see something you do.

2.  Artists Alley - Great place to see many up and coming artists, find some small label/indie books.

3.  Ballroom 20 - Used to be the best place for TV. Smaller than Hall H, but has the same issues of people camping out to make sure they attend the panel they want.

4.  Wear deoderant and lots of it. Carry a stick in your bag to freshen up, as many do not.

5.  Wear your most comfortable shoes you have. Lots of walking. Lots of standing around. And even more walking. 

6.  If you know someone who has a list of the parties, try to attend any that you can. Some are VIP only, some you need certain badges, and some you'll have to wait in lines longer than Hall H to try and enter. But you'll never know who you'll see/meet at these events.

7.  Lots of fun stuff to explore all around the Gaslamp District... Not just Comic Con stuff, but there's stuff at venues all over.

Ummmm, I think that's it at the moment. But let me repeat... comfortable shoes, lots of water, and extra deoderant will be your best friends.

Im going to be in San Diego in time for the Comic Con. Has anyone attended? Any Tips? Needo to buy in advance tickets? {nm} gogreenytd Jul 11, 14:24

Dont have a badge, just found out I was going to San Diego in those dates. Is there reselling on the streets? {nm} gogreenytd Jul 11, 14:34

There might be some, but be careful as I'm sure there's some scammers out there selling bogus badges. {nm} skamanfu Jul 11, 14:36

Even if you don't get in, take a shuttle into the area and walk around while enjoying some of the amazing cosplayers. {nm} skamanfu Jul 11, 14:39

Thank You will surley do that at least. {nm} gogreenytd Jul 11, 14:44

it'll be very crowded and the stores in the gaslight will have raised all their pricesso be prepared for high prices and long lines {nm} Moviesnob Jul 11, 14:54

Bring a few bottles of water. Theyll be people selling tickets. Best idea would be to find/follow the mobs of people as they come and work Baron_Darcon Jul 11, 15:27

I did a quick craigs list search and found some. I wouldnt trust someone's advice who has never been and regularly lies on these boards Moviesnob Jul 11, 15:48

I just checked Stub Hub and they said they are not allowing tickets to be sold for this event because they are not transferable. So I woulde JDolphin Jul 11, 16:59

very true. they cant ID everyone though. its random. but if you get busted its really on the person whose badge you have Moviesnob Jul 11, 17:16

i've never seen any {nm} Moviesnob Jul 11, 14:43

Website says they added RFID chips to badges that you have to periodically scan to get in and out of areas- must show photo id if problem {nm} JDolphin Jul 11, 17:06

Outside Comic Con (link is below) has a recap of events/activities happening outside Comic Con at the same time notfabio Jul 11, 14:44

thank you very much {nm} gogreenytd Jul 11, 14:54

Here is a video about buying tickets to Comic Con RazorHawk Jul 11, 15:19

yeah...the difficulty in getting badges plus the even-more-insane-than-before-lines have discouraged me & my wife from going back...for now tealfan Jul 11, 18:36

I went back last year for a panel after skipping 4 years in a row. Nothing has changed & its impossible to get into Hall H for the big stuff {nm} Moviesnob Jul 11, 18:53

I would suggest that while you're there, buy tickets for the Comic Con ... in 2018. You might get lucky. DTravel Jul 11, 21:05
