Comic-Con 2013 tickets go live February 16
We’re not that far into the new year yet, and already there’s buzz about Comic-Con.
There has to be, because you have to get your badges early to make sure you can get into what’s essentially geek ground zero in San Diego. And once you get your badges this month, you should also start looking for parking six months in advance, because at least 100,000 geeks will be converging on San Diego for the big event.
Yes, badges for Comic-Con go on sale Saturday, February 16 at 9 a.m. PST. This year Comic-Con launches on Thursday July 18, and wraps up on Sunday July 21. No word yet on who’s appearing, but it doesn’t matter right now. You know badges are going to go fast, so you’d better get yours as soon as you can at the official Comic-Con website.Just a few highlights from last year included a Hobbit panel featuring Peter Jackson and all the gang, an appearance from master poster artist Drew Struzan, a special preview of the Godzilla reboot, and a Firefly reunion where Joss Whedon grew teary recalling his beloved sci-fi series masterpiece. These events only scratch the surface of what incredible awesomeness you can experience at Comic-Con, and every year always has incredible panels, guests, and don’t forget the booth babes either.
A long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, the major movie studios would never consider going to a convention like Comic Con in a million years, but now every huge genre film makes a big splash there.
The geeks and true fans who attend Comic-Con will welcome you with open arms. Especially in recent years, Comic-Con has proven to be a safe haven to bring your movie and get a ton of publicity from the volunteer geek army.
