Whu???? $355/ticket to get in? Is this an exaggeration? If that is the case I'll never be going to Joe Con.

No thats just if you want the con set or golden ticket craziness to almost ensure you extras of buying 3 of everything if there is 3 of everythign to buy. There is general admission. BUt with the way the run that currently they get nothing but to peruse the vendor tables...

Ah, OK... I was like WTF??? I'll never complain about admission to SDCC again. Good to know. Now if we can only get Joe Con a little further out west... Vegas, perhaps? Could you imagine the debauchery?

If you are optimistic, you are just unrealistic. SDCC items have never been easy to get. Not for the people that attend, certainly not for the people that stay home. If you get anything at "regular price" then you spent a crap ton of money to be there or simply got lucky on a hook up. HTS will be a debacle this year as it always is. Yet, some will act as if this is a shocking event. Like waking up in the morning and saying "OMG what is that bright light shining through my window!"

Ooooh .....shiny .....shiny!
This was one year to not miss Comic Con....so many exclusives and only so much money. If my contacts in San Diego can' t pick up any extra exclusives then it's F5ing my way on HTS and Matty to get any "leftovers". If I strike out there then it's off to ebay or trade for them. Either way it will be a pain .Either pay now or pay later

This will be my 14th SDCC, it has gotten progressively worse every year, and it is unlike anything you will ever experience. 100k plus people crammed into the convention center... it is horrible. But I still go... even though I swear to myself "that's it, I'm done... no more"... Sigh. |

I'll try HTS 1st, not get anything and then get what I want off Ebay, like previous years! I'd rather pay couple $100 more getting them off Ebay then stand around w/ 100k people and wait hrs in line!

That's why I NEVER guarantee anything to anyone. HTS line is God-awful. Unless 6 hour long wait times, and being yelled at & threatened by security is your thing.

That is the question. Nothing can be worse to be line with "the unwashed" masses and watching stuff sell out before you get to register.
