I will be getting my tickets for SDCC 2012 this year at SDCC 2011. That's for sure.

Hey, my plan actually worked. Although she's not coming with me to San Diego ... her sisters are going to be visiting her while I'm gone. Potential trouble there: 4 on a scale of 1-10.

Holy crap!

The incredibly sought after, canceled wave of Raiders of the Lost Ark toys is being manufactured by Hasbro and released as an SDCC exclusive this year! That's fantastic news! I'll probably be stuck buying online, so hopefully these will be available at the normal vendors.

Toy Fair Report

This is truly exciting because this wave goes a long way towards making closure for the line by filling in a lot of obvious gaps!

Cool Toy Review points out that the standard Indy that will be packaged with the set is a kit-bashed "ultimate" figures with a lot of extra accessories.

I wish I would have taken your advice and become "media" myself. Now I am very concerned about getting there for more than Thurs.

I'd apply for a press pass and make a vacation out of it, but I doubt I'd have a place to stay!

ComicCon Hotel Reservations open Wed 3/9 at 9am Pacific. I recommend you go to this page so you're ready if you want a room:

Past experience says these rooms will sell out in less than 5 minutes!

I already got a decent room about a mile from the convention center ... that should be OK, right? I also have a friend who is letting me stay with them in the days leading up.

No SDCC pass = no hotel room = me not going again this year.

CANCEL that last post... WILL be going after. My family and I are going to San Diego the same week of the Con.

I will need to find a pass or two but I am half the way to the Con. If anything, I can meet up with some folks in the evening.

REALLY looking forward to this.

Hopefully they will release some passes as we get closer to the show so we both can get what we need.

Very stoked about you coming down.

Hey bro, can you call me or something to let me know if you find anything out in that regard ?

I will let you know what I found out. Last year someone from the boards told "us" when the tix were going to go on sale. I remember it being a few weeks before the show.

Is it possible to buy tickets second-hand, or is that a no-no since they are linked to the purchaser's name? I think you have to show an ID at the gate, right?

I would not recommend going that route.

Tickets will be released a few weeks before the show. They usually made the announcements on Twitter and facebook. I would join the Comic-con pages of both those and just keep an eye open. I was able to get Saturday last year, no problem.

Cant you use someone elses pass for a few hours or a day ?

That's what I did also. In fact, I think you posted when tickets were going to be released and that is when I got them. Hoping for the same this year.

You have to show ID to pick up the passes. But coming in and out, you just walk through...... although I do think the first year I was stopped and they asked for my ID. (I think)

I think that could work, if you could find someone to give you their pass.

It definitely DOES work.

Just sayin'

There is a chance they could check your ID - happened to a friend of ours one year.

The ya wait 15 minute go to another person

More than one way to skin that cat.

Long story, but in this particular instance it was a huge pain in the rear that involved them taking their drivers license and a bunch of other stuff.

But surely that doesn't happen all that much.

Knightt · Post by **Knightt** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 9:15 pm

TAKING a drivers license ???

I would pay big money to see one of them try and take my DL away from me.

That sucks that it happened... come on, it is only a Con.
