I wasn’t expecting to try to get San Diego Comic Con passes this morning. I was kinda broke, so I just gave up and figured I’d try for a couple of day passes later. Nevermind that I was fully expecting the servers to crash and burn once again.
So when I got an email saying that my tax refund had dropped, I decided to throw caution to the wind and try to pick up those day passes today. This is despite all of the agony and gnashing of teeth I saw by following the #sdcc hashtag on Twitter this morning.
Registration has been open for an hour and twenty minutes. I’m sure you can guess what I’m looking at right now.
I know that the registration company says to keep trying. I’m refreshing every minute or so. But at this point, I’m beginning to wonder if the frustration is worth it.
Sure, SDCC is a lot of fun. The exhibit hall is by far my favorite part, getting to see all of the awesome stuff, meet artists, buy cool swag, and see people in awesome costumes. On the other hand, I’m so frustrated at the fact that Comic Con’s management seemingly won’t shell out for a ticketing/registration system that can handle the number of requests they’re inevitably going to get. Maybe it’s just me, but I’d rather pay a little bit more and NOT waste a morning refreshing obsessively.
So. If I get passes in the next few minutes, awesome. If…
Oh my god, it worked. I just got my day passes.
Uh… See you guys at Comic Con! :D
