[Groop] San Diego Comic-Con

[Senkpiel, Bruce]

Intuition I guess.  I didn't try beforehand because the instructions provided suggested that wasn't advisable (or that's how I read it anyway).  Both my brother and I were trying to get through and neither could.  He kept trying the link, so that was covered, so I figured I would try the comic-con site itself, just in case the problem was related to the link.

Just to let you know that I had the same miserable experience as Chris trying to get tickets by following directions. At least you got something - I wasn't able to get any tickets at all.  One thing my "conspiracy theory" mind has been asking is "Why did you know to go directly to the website rather than using the link sent in the email?" Had you tested the link earlier and realized it was the weak part of the chain, or is it just common sense "techy" knowledge? 

Sorry to be so grumpy, but Comi-Con was one of the high points of my year. In my "real life" few people I know like comics - ever fewer know who Sergio is.  Oh well.

(Being in Canada makes that a little more difficult.)  I tried last year to no avail.  This year the process for me was much like it was for you except I went to directly to the Comic-Con web site a little earlier, at about 8:08 a.m.  My number in line was about 21000.  I was hoping, like most, to get a four day pass, which I didn't, but I did manage to get tickets to Thursday and Sunday.
