Comic-Con International Sells Out

July's Comic-Con International has sold out of all of its one-day tickets according to the measurement tools on its web site. The last to go where the Sunday single-days; four-day passes and the other single-day tickets were sold out weeks ago. This will make 2009 the second year where no tickets were available simply by walking up to the show that weekend. That's an interesting development for a lot of reasons. One is that some were worried around six months ago about a decline in interest brought on by the recession. Another is that this changes the way they promote the show, because they don't want to ignite an appetite for attendance for people who will be frustrated in any attempts they make to get tickets. A third is that it should be interesting to see how many folks might back out after attending. It's a down economy, but it's also a treacherous one, so one can imagine a few folks here and there making the hard decision to back out on a commitment and lose whatever deposit or investment is involved.

Hotels continue to come back on-line as available here.
