As I am writing this, the indicator on the official San Diego International Comic Con website says there are about 25% 4 day passes (without preview night) left. Last year, comic con 4day passes sold out 4 months before the con.  Now they are on track to be sold out about 9 to 8 months before!

If you don’t hurry and get yours soon, you’ll be s.o.l.

Did you oversleep the ticket Blizzcon ticket sale AGAIN?! Don’t want to pay redicoulous prices on eBay for one? Well, we here at PixelatedGeek we feel your pain.  We learned that we bought one to many badges this morning.  So, instead of being a scalper, we are giving it away! Stay tuned to our website to find out how!

Snooze you lose

If you are planning to go to Comic Con, you only have two choices for days to go to as of now. Thursday, the official opening of the show floor and Sunday. Which is usually the day when no one wants to go because nothing much goes on on Sundays.

To get in on one of these days, go to http://www.comic-con.org/cci/cci_reg.php

At exactly 10am (pacific) Blizzard opens its server for the onslaught of Blizzard fans.  Even though Blizzard raised their ticket prices $25 dollars more, that still didn’t stop hordes of people buying tickets until sell out 28 minutes after the servers opened.  If you didn’t get tickets today because you forgot, overslept or just didn’t get into the queue in time, don’t QQ.  Next weekend, Blizzard will be selling the second half of the tickets.

And if you don’t get tickets then, well you have two choices. (1) Buy DirectTV and experience the con from the confort of your home, or (2) buy form a scalper. But those tickets are already up to a $810 bid on eBay.

GL.

Here’s a list of things you should get ready for tomorrow’s Blizzcon 2009 ticket sales.

1. Set your alarm tonight at 8am (pst)
   This should give you enough time to to fully wake up and boot your computer. It also gives you enough time to make sure your internet is working properly.  If it isn’t, well, you have 2 hours to fix it.
2. Don’t use a Wifi connection
   Last thing you need is to have your browser’s session interrupted because of some Wifi issue with your router.  Instead of using Wifi, hardline your laptop or desktop straight to your router.
3. Create a Battle.net account and save your Credit Card information in the system
   You want to make sure you zip in and zip out of the check out process by having your information already in their system.  That way, it’s only a few clicks to get your precious ticket(s). You don’t want to be in the middle of entering your information then having your session somehow disconnect.
4. Let others know what is happening, and have them help you out
   Tell your family members or roommates that you are trying to buy tickets to a very important event. If you need to go somewhere, have them help out by watching the computer for you while you’re AFK. If it becoes your turn to buy tickets, tell them to follow the prompts to buy the for you and how many of them.
5. Don’t QQ
   If you don’t get tickets tomorrow, don’t QQ.  There is a second batch next weekend.

Good luck everyone! See you at Blizzcon!
