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

Your way back against the crowds. The scalpers will be nearest to the venue with probably jacked up prices. Might be able to find a few decent people trying to ofload a ticket for a fair price. Forgot the ticket to avoid getting nabbed scalping. I think its mostly the sellers that get nabbed. I think in NYC the seller cant say the price.. some BS like that.

Never been to SDCC but NYCC a few times. About 1/4 to a quarter mile from it I encountered scalpers. It was pretty obvious when and why every was going. And scalpers would just join in huge mobs and call out for people needing tickets.

Also you might  be able to get someones pass as they leave too. My friends girlfriend had a anxiety panic attack due to the crowds after 30 minutes. She had never seen anything like the crowds before and was overwhelmed. Others cant stay the whole day. 

Good luck. 

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

tickets sold out long long ago {nm} slipping jimmy Jul 11, 14:26

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 skamanfu Jul 11, 14:33

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

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
