So sitting here waiting for the show to open to general admission and a guy is sitting here telling people that they already sold out of all the exclusives and there is nothing left other then night boomers..
Is there any reliable sources out there that can either confirm or deny this statement.. Im going to be quite pissed that i drove 3.5 hours to get here to find out there are no exclusives for general admission, If that is the case.. Why the fuck even offer general admission.. Make this a complete preregistration only event.. |

So according to the twitter page they are sold out.. They could have saved me 7 hours round trip if they would have put it on the site page that they werent saving anything for general admission so get bent.
Wow unbelievable.. This is yet another reason i dont resubscribe to the "club". What a bunch of shit.. So if unless i spent my day stalking these clowns i wont ever know whats going on.. Garbage. |

Because the people that run the club are morons. They are missing out on sales while scalpers flip the exclusives for massive profits. They would be better off marking up the exclusives a bit more to discourage the resellers while increasing their margins. They can always drop prices later.

Its absolutely retarded how this thing is ran...
First off.. They have a site event page.. They put nothing n it. The site is saying there where between 800 and 1000 of each exclusive. The only way to get multiples was golden ticket which was limited to what? 50? 100? So that would be 300 gone.. I get it.. So your telling me that they sold 500 other attendee packages and said get screwed to people with jobs that cant come down until the weekend? Back to my point. If they refused to hold items for general admission-then just say it up front : "hey you want the exclusives? Then buy a package.. Otherwise your not getting them.." Or just put up the truth.. "We don't give a shit about general attendees and are only giving exclusives to package buyers.." Even hasbro/mattel AT SDCC SET DAILY LIMITS.. Its not a hard process... Count how many you have pick your daily limits and mark the pile for the day of. Retarded.. Simply retarded.. |

If i showed up 3 hours late to show opening and was complaining.. I would say tough shit.. But i drove 3.5 hours because unlike the people that run this "event" i have a full time job and cant be on twitter all day long.. And i look at an events website for information.. Not hunting all over the internet piecing together bits and parts of info to get a simple answer...

Wow, that is really fucked up man. I've never been to JoeCon but they really need 2 make this kind of stuff known. Why can't they make enough exclusives for everyone, or almost everyone? It's not like they couldn't sell them on their website, after the con, if they don't sell them all at the con.

Sorry to hear that man. Ive yet to get to any sort of Con. But hearing this sort of discourages me. I hope you at least got something there to maybe make your trip somewhat worth it.

Again I would not be at all upset if they said look we pulled x number for golden tickets, x number for general attendee packages, an now have x amount left for each day of the event. It's fair. But to essentially sell packages until there will not be any exclusives left for people then only put a one liner on twitter that not everyone follows.. Is flat out shady and unrespectable. An the fact that package holders are able to line up before everyone to buy even more exclusives before general admission is even allowed back into the door is also shady.. It doesn't cost but 1.00 to buy. Hole punch to hit badges and say you bought your allotment. Let someone else get in line. |

That so much sucks. I would be in a terrible state right now if I were you so you seem to be taking it much better than I would. I like the club so far but I have never been to a Con. That being said, they absolutely should have the rules for exclusives listed in an easy to access place to prevent things like this from happening. 7 hours round trip is pretty much a full day and when you factor in walking around time at the con it is a Saturday gone. I hope you get a break and find what you are looking for but you should totally give that feedback to the club so they can get an idea on how many people feel the same way or were put out by this.
Best of luck and hope you enjoy the rest of the day.
