Hi, I'm the new guy!

I'm Darren,

30 M from Ireland. I'm visiting America July 2016 for 3 and a half weeks the main reason being to see a friend who now lives in America (In Atlanta) but I'm taking in a few states while over so as part of the trip I've booked flights to / b&b accommodation in San Diego from the 18th July to the 25th so hoping I can get lucky and get a Comic Con Ticket as its pretty much a once in a life time trip.

I'm particularly interested in talking to any one who would be interested in joining up together in the open registration to improve our chances of getting tickets.

I'm happy to talk to people around the fourms / facebook / skype etc... to prove I'm real and genuine so see you all around the forum :)

Welcome to the forums, Darren!  Glad that you could join us in our community.  We're here all year round.  ^__^/ 

Coming from Ireland!  That's awesome.  I'd love to visit someday (when I have more money saved up, ha ha).

As Transmute mentioned earlier, some of our wonderful forum members will form some general (or, "open") registration buying groups sometime early next year.  A new thread dedicated to the general registration buying groups will be created around that time, so keep an eye out for it.  The thread will be the go-to place to get information about the buying groups and which ones are accepting new members for general registration. 

Alyssa also mentioned a Google Hangout with ukdeejay.  Here's a link to the thread here: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

This is ukdeejay's facebook group for SDCC attendees from the UK: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

You might be interested in connecting with some people from that group as well.

Greetings,

Brandon here from DC. I have been attending SDCC consecutively since 2009.  In that time, my first few years attending was as an attendee; however, since 2012, I have been going as press, representing Reel Film News: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

This year, I have a group of family/friends planning to go so I will be leading their purchase group for open registration.  Be sure to PM me if you are interested in joining our group...Otherwise, I'll be around!  :D


Best,

Brandon

Hi!  :D

New here and I'm a newb at Cons too.  I've only been to one and never been to SDCC...yet.  I'll be going to SDCC 2016.  I'm really excited to experience it next year.

I'm interested in cosplaying (my desire for 100% accuracy is my own worst enemy though) and I love gaming (mainly xbone).

Hi all --

My name is Brittany and I'm here in the hopes that I'll be able to take my son to Comic Con in 2016. I had hoped to surprise him with tickets for his 10th birthday this year, but trying to get tickets on my own didn't work out for me. So I'm looking to join a buying group this year to increase our odds of success (and solidify my spot as the coolest mom in his class).

Fingers crossed, and nice to meet everyone!

Welcome, Brittany!

How old is your son? If he was 12 or under on August 1, 2015, then he qualifies as a child for SDCC 2016 and you do not need a badge for him. However, you would need a badge for yourself, so you can accompany him.

We will be opening up buying groups for open registration sometime next week. Keep an eye out for the announcement, and good luck in the sale!

Thanks! He will be 11 in January so he definitely qualifies as a child. Which I hope will make it easier for us to get there with the help of a group. I've already set a reminder to check back. Fingers crossed, and thanks again for the welcome!

Hilo and welcome Brittany  :)

Welcome to the forums, brittany!  Glad you can join us, as this is certainly the right place to get information about badges for Comic-Con (and join a buying group to better your odds at purchasing a badge during general registration).

I love video games as well!  What are some of your favorite titles?

Well, lately, I've been playing mainly GTA V, Star Wars Battlefront, and AC Syndicate. I'm in love with all the Lego games. My favorite all-time console game though is Red Dead Redemption. Still have my fingers and toes crossed for its Xbox backwards compatibility *sigh*   :-\

What about you?

Hm... Right now, I'm alternating between several games because I'm super behind on my to-do gaming list.  Currently playing Kingdom Hearts 1.5 Remix, Arkham Knight, Bayonetta, Pokemon X (yeah, I still haven't had the chance to finish it, ha ha), while also re-playing Pokemon Yellow and Golden Sun: Lost Age.

I know what you mean by hoping for backwards compatibility... I wish all of the newer consoles were like that.  *sighs*
