Is that right? I thought last year it took a week and a day (8 days). So it actually took one day less this year. Either way it seems that's relatively similar so if that's the case, Sunday should go next about 6 weeks before the Con. Then Friday about a week before the Con. I guess we'll see.

Yup, 8 days for last year is correct. (On sale 10/19/16 and Saturday sold out 10/27/16). So far this year...the time it took 4 day tickets to sell out compared to last year was pretty much a wash, and Saturday was only slightly faster.

Last year, IIRC it took longer for Friday and Sunday tickets to sell out than the year before, and Thursday did not sell out.

I'm actually tempted to do a mid-week excursion. ;) Go up Wednesday, attend Thursday and Friday, and head back Saturday afternoon. It looks like I only have to go about a mile out (which I don't mind) to find reasonably-priced hotels off the block.

Christopher Lloyd and Tom Wilson from BTTF will be at ECCC!

We saw Tom Wilson at SVCC last spring and he is really entertaining. Well worth seeing! We saw Christopher Lloyd at the BTTF panel the year before. He's less 'entertaining' but it's still interesting to hear his stories.

I am really looking forward to my first trip to Seattle and ECCC. I have wanted to check it out ECCC for a few years now and excited, thanks TJ for all your assistance.

Cool that those two are going there this time. I met Lloyd in 2016 SVCC during his photo-op. The main camera wasn’t working at first, so I had extra time talking to him while we were waiting. He’s pretty nice, so go meet him. Likewise, with Wilson.

So, my hotel is set - at the Hyatt again. Only thing left is the flight. :) Looking at other airports, but most likely will do my local one.

Looking to take the plunge to another convention... problem is, Saturday already sold out...  If anyone grabbed or comes up with 2 extra Saturday badges, please let me know. Thanks all!

The other days are still good, Conventiongeek, but yeah, you need to be on the ball with this one to get all 4 days. I know ReedPop is holding a lot of contests to win badges, so you could check out ECCC's Twitter account.

Saturday can be your tour Seattle day! Space Needle, Pike's Place, even Funko HQ if you're a fan. Maybe even a drive up to Canada!

How far is Canada?

Wonder if Funko HQ will have any LE or Exclusives?   Not a bad idea...

Still holding out for a Saturday badge however.   Fingers crossed.

According to Google maps, Seattle is a 2 hour 44 minute drive from Vancouver.

No guarantees of course, but Funko has had ECCC exclusives for the past 2 years.

There won't be any on the ECCC site. You would have to buy a badge from someone who already has it, or win a contest. ECCC is holding a lot of contests on their Twitter site.

Would anyone going like to take me with them? I'm a great companion and if I start up my yoga again, I can fit in your largest suitcase by March. Thanks in advance.

[member=5815]ocwankenobi[/member]   The 2 most popular hotels are the Sheraton and the Grand Hyatt, but the others are all reasonable as well. Most are within walking distance of the convention center, which is the main thing.

[member=2226]Mel[/member] Do you have a badge? Not much point in taking you along if you don't.... ;)
