Hope you’ve already got your Comic-Con 4-day pass…
…because as this story makes clear, they’re sold out!
My son’s immediate reaction: “You mean it’s going to be more crowded?!?!?”

All I can say is: WOW! As I remember last year the on-site registration on Saturday was shut down for a period of time due to the number of people trying to get in. This story makes it even more amazing that we were able to get a hotel room anywhere near down town San Diego.
I went to the Comic Con web site and saw that a three day pass was available for Wednesday through Friday, but not Saturday. It also showed that Saturday was available as an individual day, but I have a feeling that on-site registration will be shut down again.
I had checked a few days ago to see if there were any hotel rooms left in the San Diego area and found one at the San Diego Sheraton Hotel & Marina near the airport for $368 per night.

If you’ve been to Comic-Con the past few years, we don’t have to tell you: It’s a BIG show with lots of people. And the reality of the situation is quite simple: We’re looking at limiting attendance this year.
Here’s what the Comic Con people have posted about Saturday.
Last year, Comic-Con sold out on Saturday. By “sold out,” we mean we reached our maximum attendance capacity for that day. There’s a strong probability we’ll sell out on Saturday this year, also. That may result in no onsite registration for Saturday. If the crowds thin out later in the day, we may open registration for those of you who just have to come on Saturday, or want to see the Masquerade but just can’t face the crowd in the Exhibit Hall. And while we didn’t sell out on any of the other days last year, there’s always the possibility it may happen this year. Because of this, we strongly urge you to register online as soon as possible.

I believe the con will be covered daily on G4, or one of those newfangled cable stations. Be sure you wave and make faces everytime you see one of their cameras. I’ll be watching for you.
