I go with a party of 3 every year, and none of us got in. If we don't get lucky during the general sale, this is the first time in 5 years we won't be going.

E: Just got in with only Sundays. Welp, closing this window.

There are two more chances. I got mine in general last year as opposed to presale, and second chance the year before, even though I was eligible for presale each year.

Easy year for me. Usually a friend gets mine, but this year I got mine, his, and his friend's. Cool.

Pretty weird not getting in on pre-reg.

Open registration last year was in late February. Pro-reg a week later. Expect a repeat.

Until then, all we can do is speculate on convention center expansion.

speaking of proreg, how closely do they scrutinize things? I had some viral videos I worked on but my name doesn't actually appear on credits(no credits to speak of really), would oit be enough to just have them verify with the people in charge?

I'm late on this but they're really lenient, I worked in film restoration and our names didn't get into the credits (since there weren't any for the restoration team) and I just had a letter "from my boss" explaining the situation and saying if there were any questions to call. They didn't background check anything.

Yes, definitely go for pro or press if you can. Takes a lot of the worry out of things.

Have you pro app guys gotten a response yet? It doesn't make a big difference to me since Darko got my pass and I didn't apply til the last eligible day

Is it even possible to get both a pro badge and a general?

A friend I set up got her confirmation already. Not idea if it is staggered or all at once.

Anyone here trying for a small press table at WonderCon? I haven't heard yay or nay yet and was wondering if anyone else had.

A luxury Comic-Con cruise, crazy pricey and it skips Sunday.

That's insanely cool. I would really love to do that but SDCC is honestly physically and mentally exhausting enough without tacking on a second vacation in front of it. Somebody please go and report back with pictures of Yoda Yoga so I can live vicariously tia.

Sounds more like a "gently caress you comic con" event. Can't wait til the overflow in Tijuana decide to make a Star Wars cantina for real

Speaking of WonderCon, I'm on the waiting list for exhibitor space (small press). Any thoughts on what my chances are of getting in, or should I consider it a lost cause and try again next year?

The Marriott Marina and Hilton on the water were around $300/night. Most of the hotels right next to the convention center were around that with the Hard Rock being a little more expensive irc
