Comic-Con Is Holding a Badge Resale Drawing

For those who might be interested, San Diego Comic-Con has found themselves with some extra attendance badges, via one process or another.  There are NO 4-day passes, but they note that they have several thousand single-day passes.  Over 3,000 of them are for Saturday.  (But TV fans might want to be looking at Sunday, since most of the TV panels take place then.)

For some who are interested, this is pretty awesome news.  But not wanting to sound like a sales pitch, this is something you might want to move on pretty quickly, considering how quick these little goodies sell out.

Except in this case, it's a sale/random drawing event for Comic-Con badges.

SO take a look at the press release below, and follow those instructions/links!  -Bruce

Comic-Con International is pleased to announce that because of returned/cancelled badges we will once again be able to offer those badges for resale. This year we have also reduced the allotment of reserved badges for certain departments. Comic-Con has decided to add these badges to the resale for our attendees. We currently have several thousand single day badges available for resale, only 3,100 of which are Saturday badges. 4-Day badges are sold out.

Due to the very limited number of badges available and our vendor EPIC Registration being focused on coordinating onsite registration, the Comic-Con 2013 badge resale will be conducted utilizing a random drawing.

To enter the Comic-Con 2013 Resale Drawing, login to your Member ID account now and click the blue notice that says “Click Here to Enter a Drawing to be Eligible for the Comic-Con 2013 Badge Resale!”

The drawing entry period will remain open for 48 hours only, and will close June 12, 2013 at 10:59:59 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT). Late entries will not be accepted.

You must have a valid and confirmed Comic-Con Member ID to enter the drawing.

Anyone who has already registered for or purchased a 4-Day badge (with or without Preview Night) or a single day Saturday badge will not be eligible to enter the drawing.

Those selected to participate in the Comic-Con 2013 badge resale may purchase their own badges, as well as badges for one additional guest. You may purchase for any guest who has a confirmed Member ID (as of June 7, 2013) and does not have a 4-Day badge (with or without Preview Night) or a single day Saturday badge. Your guest does not need to be selected from the drawing pool to be eligible to purchase.

Comic-Con will notify everyone who is selected to participate by email on or before June 17, 2013.
