It took me an hour and 20 minutes of refreshing, and I had to buy separate passes for each day, but I GOT TICKETS. *falls over dead*

I don't know how long it'll be open or take to sell out, but here's the link if you didn't know: http://comic-con.ticketleap.com/comic-con-international-attendee-registration-2011/ (keep refreshing until your fingers are numb, refresh after every error, don't start over)

V. cool. I considered buying tickets (because - really - one has nothing to lose if they let us return them with no problems later). But I feel like it's just wrong, since I know I have no intention of going this summer.

It's only worth the pain if you're going!

I'm hoping Community does another panel, so I can meet the cast! Might even be able to get a press pass if I'm lucky... *dreams*

OMFG, that was such a nightmare. Took me about 45 minutes of constantly hitting F5. And I was only getting a ticket for Friday! Printed out a confirmation number from the site when it finally went through, but no email yet, and I'm not seeing a charge on my CC yet (though that may not show up until the end of business day). O_o

Betcha the Comic-Con feedback panel on Sunday is gonna be INSANE. :P

It WAS! LORD ALMIGHTY. I haven't seen an email or charge yet, but the info I read is that those will come in the next 3-4 days. I printed out my confirmation and screencapped it to be safe...

Hah! So did I! XD

I swear, as soon as I pick up my badge, I'm heading over to 2012 pre-registration so I can avoid a repeat of this kind of online asshattery. In years past, I used to do at-con pre-reg when 4-day passes were ridiculously cheap but stopped after the price jump a couple of years ago. I guess that just goes to show that I should've stuck with what worked. :P

I can't afford to go every year, so that won't work for me, alas... but I would if they sold them 2 years in advance! :D

I'm so happy you got tickets! Someday I want to go, it's on my list of 'things to do when the kids are older' :)

I hope you write an epic trip report!

Definitely! I've been once, but only for a day. I'm REALLY pumped that I get to go for the whole weekend this time. ♥

YAY! I would love to go this year, but with the wedding in September, there's just no way. I hope you have the best time!

With stops in Asheville and Toronto, yeah, I think so. I need to officially invite The Family after while. I just want to make sure that we have everything paid for first.

It's amazing. Sold out in less than a day! I can't believe what this event has become. Two years ago I could still get tickets in April. :O

Oh, wait forgot to answer - yes, we're driving again. This time we have GPS on my phone! The Google Navigator on the Droid is officially the most useful thing EVER.

Good for you!! I know there was a LOT of trouble especially from all the tweets I was getting. I hope to attend one day or at least get to one con.

It was AWFUL. Luckily I had the time to just sit there and refresh. Imagine if they'd done it on a day I work! I'd have missed out, and I'd have been PISSED.

I hope you can, too. :)
