Don't forget; winning a price like this is never free. You WILL be taxed on it as if it was earned income. It WILL raise your taxable income for that year and possibly cause you to pay a higher percentage for federal, local, and state.

Something to keep in mind with all of the contests about to start.

If they've got $10k+ to spend on a $185 badge. Then I'd assume they'd have plenty of money to buy anything.

I think they'll think you'd be content with just going 1 or 2 days of COMIC-CON, rather than not going at all.  Me, I'll take anything I can get.  Like they say, beggars can't be choosy.

+1.  It seems silly to tell someone who's giving away something free and/or special that they need to be giving away more.

Here is an interactive/social contest You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Looks complicated but could be worth it for those who are interested, plus might be less competition

Local news station is giving away SDCC tix, but you have to watch BBT to win. Not sure if someone out of San Diego county can participate or find a stream to watch when they announce the winner.

Something that I think goes with the above mentioned BBT contest. This one is via Hot Topic but mentions the website and the whole "watch to enter" thing as well.
