I predict that if SDCC keeps going on the path they are now, progressively getting more ****ed up and harder to get in with each passing year, that the time will come that even you, JD, champion of all things Comicon will declare, "**** it! I ain't going this time!"

In all honesty, this years registration went pretty smooth all things considered. A ****ty system yes, but it didn't go nuts.
 
Yeah, they seemed to control the flow enough so that the system did not crash. Thats a huge step towards improvement.

actually...yes. Common sense finally broke through by accident and lookie lookie, a fairly easy process. Reading all the complaints that are about it seems like the one dayers got the worst of it. No system is going to be perfect, at least the usual millions blocked out while others sneak in wasn't the big complaint. It was a step in the right direction that, no doubt, they will correct.

Really agreed. I was happy to see them do the pre-sale option for people who were there last year that didn't include waiting in line for five hours to hope you got one. There's enough of that at the Con as it is. Further, from what I understand, when general tickets go on sale if you have a 4-day but are able to get a 4-day with preview at that point, you can do that and they'll cancel the other one. Not sure if that's true or not as I haven't see an official word on that, but something to consider. Of course, you'll always be able to just tell me what you were looking to nab.

2013 WonderCon will be in Anaheim — or maybe San Francisco ?|?The Beat

For months a huge question mark has loomed over the location of 2013’s WonderCon, one of the largest comics conventions in the United States. In an exclusive interview with Comic-Con International’s v-p of marketing and public relations David Glanzer, he revealed that the answer is Anaheim—but that could change, as Comic-Con International, the non-profit organization that runs the show, may still get dates in the fall for a Bay Area show. In which case that show will be WonderCon and the Anaheim show will be rebranded an as-yet unnamed new SoCal show.

But as of right now, WonderCon is slated to be held March 29-31, 2013 in Anaheim—which also happens to be Easter weekend.

San Diego Comic-Con will get bigger! In 2017! Maybe!

The San Diego City council officially approved the $520 million convention center expansion project yesterday, clearing the way for a Bigger Bang Theory panel, and the 502nd Legion at the Nerd Prom. BUT many hurdles remain, and one of them is named Cory Briggs.

“Everyone has told them this thing is not going to survive a legal challenge,” says attorney Cory Briggs, who represents plaintiffs comprising the Navy Broadway Complex Coalition, a citizens group that monitors downtown and waterfront development issues.

“And yet, for political reasons that do not benefit the voters — that only benefit the special interests downtown — they continue to spend millions of dollars on consultants and experts and architects and lawyers trying to score a touchdown on a field that doesn’t have an end zone.”


Legal challenges to the project and the hotel tax that is funding it remain, and are expected o go on for a while, delaying starting on the project and its completion—which is likely to be pushed to about 2017.

And that’s two years AFTER Comic-Con’s current contract with the city runs out.
