Questions from a newbie

[yours____truly]

I am hoping to attend next year's Comic Con, which will be my first time. I want to start planning ahead, and to come up with a game plan

1.) No. They don't start selling badges until the appointed hour exactly so it's basically down to first come, first serve and sheer luck. The past few years it's gotten insane trying to buy badges so the selling process has changed various times and it's been a nightmare. Last year actually went really smoothly pace wise but the particular method of how many badges a person could purchase fucked everything up and everything sold out way too fast. I heard they're changing that this year to make it more fair for everyone

Thank you! That was really helpful. I feel a bit better about things now...just need to worry about getting two badges first.

Also, it helps to tag team the seat creeping -- DON"T give up your current seat till your partner has secured better ones for sure. Otherwise, you could end up stranded. Also, don't stab anyone in the eye with a pen. It can get kind of stressful.

I know I shouldn't have laughed at that but I totally did. And no joke, I was in Hall H that day when that happened. I was on the opposite side of the room so I didn't know what was going on at the time but I heard the commotion. People are insane.

Haha, wow. Guess I should bring some safety glasses.
