Memberships to Comic-Con 2011 are facing postponed sales

Comic-Con 2010 is barely over, however Comic-Con 2011 is already on the brain. Nov 1 was the first day four-day passes were supposed to go on sale. Technical difficulties with sales shut down sales. The new sales date can be announced in one week.

Getting passes for Comic-Con 2011

Comic-Con 2011 was scheduled to start selling four-day passes today. When registration opened, nevertheless, the Comic-Con site overloaded. The website came back up quickly, but the registration company’s website had been not processing registrations properly. After just a little bit of time, Comic-Con shut down registration entirely. Registration partners shut down also. Pre-sales to special customers were practically the only ones that were able to get their badges, which was about 13 percent of all badges.

Comic-Con 2011 badges re-open

There aren't that many 2011 Comic-Con 2011 badges available to be marketed. The number of memberships for the convention are always limited, and scalped Comic-Con badges are always of concern. A handful of the Comic-Con 2011 badges were sold throughout the initial registration today, however it was just a couple. In seven days followers will know when the re-opening of the registration will be, giving them additional time to plan their trips to CA.

Every person generating Comic-Con 2011 plans already

The 2011 Comic-Con is slated for July 20 via July 24 in San Diego. This is the 41st year for Comic-Con. Not it is considered the largest science fiction/fantasy/film/television conventions within the world. The San Diego Convention Center can hold 125,000 attendees, and it has been filled to capacity for numerous years in a row. There have been concerns about overcrowding, but the San Diego Convention Center has a contract with Comic-Con until 2012. Given the problems with marketing memberships to the convention and overcrowding, the importance of early preparing for attendance to Comic-Con 2011 is going to be incredibly important. Since a regular membership does not mean you'll get to attend a presentation, they’re over-sold too.
