I know it's a wee tad early to be posting about this but I'm putting it up here now for the sheer "I told you so" value of it.
All 4-day Comic-Con 2011 passes that include Preview Night are sold out. They sold out at Con 2010 by the end of it's fourth day, almost a full year in advance. Regular 4-day passes and individual 1-day passes are still available FOR NOW.
Each year the speed at which Comic-Con tickets sell out is even faster than the year before. For example Con 2010's 4-day pass ( with preview night ) sold out around November 2009 the year before. By March 2010 the con was sold out and the remaining months contained only rare instances of snagging a pass if someone who already bought one decided to give it up or scalp it.
It is ludicrous to expect to go to Comic-Con 2011 and not buy your tickets now. I'm going to guess that by November 2010 all 4-day passes will be gone and probably all of the 1-day passes as well.
If any of you post about wanting to buy a pass to Con ( or inquiring if anyone here knows of a way in ) I swear to God I will be all over you with a firehose filled with "I told you so" and in my absence, probably some of this forum's other members. I'm trying to let those interested parties know that acting on this now is probably wiser than letting it slide until later then coming here with your tail between your legs looking for a glimmer of hope.
