For a head's up, online registration is now open at their site!  Full admission is $75!   Shocked

And I have decided I am not going next year.
Time for a skip year.
While others may not see a problem with $75 for admission, I do. I don't attend enough panels or signings to make it worth that kind of money. Sure, they bring in some big names and whatever, but when you have to commit your entire day to see a panel in Hall H, and so I don't go to those panels anymore because of the crowd/lines.... etc.
I'm also sick of the hotel booking nonsense.

I am going to attend some different conventions and events next year.
 Very Happy/Big Grin

Hope those that do go will have a great time!

I don't blame ya Leo, $75 is too much for a con entrance fee.  Esp having it at that with pre reg even!   Usually if you register in advance you get some kind of discount that is just wrong.

If I find it "impossible" to do the $75 by January, I am going to volunteer for all four days (assuming they're not filled up by then).  I used to volunteer when I lived closer; if needs be I can handle working three hours a day for the Man in order to save some coinage (and to make sure I get in).

But yeah, that is wild, the PRE-Reg. price!


Either way, I'm going.  You may list me as one of the tmnt-l folks going.

I wasn't able to go this year because of some things that came up, but I'll try for next year.  

Here's what happened though (I may have some of this wrong...if I do, if someone could let me know, I'll fix it):

They started selling the badges for next year on their website in August.  If you bought your badge from August 1st through the 15th it was $50.00

From August 15-September 15th it was $55.00

After September 15 (and pretty much now through when they sell out) It's $75.00


They did have them on sale, but they gave little warning.  I found out in September on a random visit to the Comic-Con website, and I went ahead and bought mine then.  Even if I don't go, I always like to buy a badge so that if I decide to, I have it.  It's also usually the only convention I do anyway, so if I decide not to go, I'm not out very much.

If you're at the con for 2008, swing by the preregistration booth for 2009 and have a check at their rates.  In past years, they had a special rate for buying your badge for the following year on-site.  I'm not sure if they still do that, as I've not been in several years, but it's a good idea to check anyway.  Happy/Smile

So sorry for being absent this long, everyone!  I'm poking my head back in to see how everyone is doing, and I will do my best well into the new year to visit a lot more often. Happy/Smile

Well-- I have my registration!  And (if nothing goes wrong) I have a place to stay!  No driving daily for me this year!  


Huzzah!  I'm so happy!
 

Yet I'm the only name on the "who's going" list still....  Sad/Down

$75?  Geez!  I had thought about maybe coming down to that this year.  Also other fans up in this region had also discussed it, but damn....I dunno about that price!   How much is just a one-day admission?

Well, so far, I don't have to go to summer school, which means I'm one step closer to attending the convention. I guess telling my counselor I'm going to community college was a good idea.

Depends on the day.  Check their site, I think Saturday is the most at $35.00.

4-day passes are now sold out!  4-day passes are now sold out!

All they have left are the one day passes.  I'm surprised they're not offering three day ones like last year (Thurs, Fri, and Sun)!

Anyway, if you're looking to go all four days, it's gonna cost $110 if you buy per day.
