Post by: mdla on July 05, 2013, 07:50:23 PM
If this actually goes down, it would have to be one of the more memorable moments in CCI history:

We saw the tweet before that, where something "dope" was teased. DH jokingly said "is he going to come out of the bay? That would be way more than just dope"? I think we used the word epic too, when we were talking about that. Looks like we were going in the right direction. Can't wait to see what happens!

I'm guessing (IF this is actually true), that the effect will be done through a large scale water-screen projection. Like this.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkVe7wTlV0s

When you think about it this would be the perfect way to showcase/reveal Godzilla's new design.

That's mine as well, between the Hilton and the convention center.

This could be one of those events people talk about for years to come. Then again, it could be a lame inflatable head poking out from behind one of the boats in the marina. I'll still be there to see though  ;)

Good find!  :)  However, it looks like to me that Godzilla rampaging through SD and heading toward the bay.  The warehouse will probably have stars from the movie giving autographs.  I am still hoping to see him rise out of the ocean that was mentioned in the first post.  :D

It looks like bay thing may actually be happening--SDCC Blog (http://sdccblog.com/2013/07/godzilla-to-take-a-bite-out-of-san-diego-comic-con/) linked to a Tumblr (http://godzillaencounter.com/) Legendary just created that seems to be leading up to "something" come out of the bay.

Iiiiinteresting.  I wonder if it's going to be one big event and then an exhibit or something that lasts all weekend or if it's just one stationary thing the whole time.  I like the idea of something huge happening like him rising out of the bay, but if they need volunteers all weekend it's gotta be something ongoing.

Edit:

Ok, well http://www.outsidecomiccon.com/all-events/ has this:

Legendary Pictures GODZILLA Encounter
Wed-Sun, 5-9pm, 704 J Steet — Map
Godzilla has attacked a building on 7th & J streets.  Inside is a walkthrough exhibit of the legacy and return of Godzilla. Try to unlock exclusive content and have a thrilling encounter with the creature itself.

I missed that the first time.

[my Speculation only!!!] Could be a cross promotion, Legendary does have 300: Rise of an Empire?! I'm changing my guess to it's code for shirt and poster giveaways, Hot Topic claimed a pic of a Godzilla shirt before http://instagram.com/p/bZSr2OIneU/#

It was the same for me. I couldn't tell if it was a glitch or if they're planning on opening up more times at a later date? Or maybe the rest of the time it's non-ticketed, you just line up? (Like the Ender's Game one?)
I ended up just going for 5pm Wednesday since we're not doing anything that night and our dinner reservation is at 6:45pm. Didn't want to wait and risk missing out.

I don't think so... on the ticket itself (I printed mine) there was no address but it said the app will lead you to it. I'm mostly assuming it's in that building Legendary took over downtown, though. I think the address is upthread? Or maybe in a different thread.

ETA: Found it. The internet says 7th Ave and J St.

Just a note, I was mobile and couldn't save/print my GE tix and had email anxiety from TicketLeap (and yeah, you don't need an account).

If anyone doesn't get a GE email or you want to double check your orders, use your email address http://www.ticketleap.com/find-your-orders/ and they'll resend a link to the pdf.

I think they might be giving away tickets for the evening hours at the Legendary Booth during the con.  The event descriptions states: "San Diego Comic-Con® 2013 attendees may also visit the Legendary Booth (#3920) at the Convention Center for a chance to receive their Encounter Pass."

I got tickets for Sunday morning, although I'd love to get evening tickets for Thursday (since Friday I'll be in line).

Thanks folks.  Got tix for the family.  5:30 sold out, able to get 6:00.  Hopefully this won't be another Rob Zombie ('12) or LOTR Battle in the North ('11?) event bust.  My family still won't let me live those down.

I think you're paying, the Variant is $70 (limited to 100), the $45 is limited to 275 posters http://blog.mondotees.com/2013/07/15/sdcc-2013-godzilla-by-phantom-city-creative/.

Hey, It's Mondo!  Their exclusive pre-sale, sold-out prints for the con have been $90 and very collectible http://www.mondotees.com/!

Can't wait for this. Scored a ticket for Thursday afternoon. I'll admit it's a little earlier than I would have wanted to leave the con but I think i'll live.

I am also confused about something though. On the website it says this...

To secure your Encounter Pass, visit the Legendary Booth (#3920) at San Diego COMIC-CON® 2013.

Does that mean we need to bring our printed ticket to the booth to get another ticket into the Encounter itself?

They just opened the afternoon batch..serizawa..http://godzillaencounter.ticketleap.com/thursday/dates/Jul-18-2013_at_1100AM

UPDATE: Nope, went fast.

There's only one ticket available for each time slot; was it always like that or were you guys able to buy multiple tickets per time slot? I'm not sure I can handle the loud sounds and intense lighting by myself, lol!

Post by: SamTurtledove on July 15, 2013, 10:13:20 PM
Yep, guess they want one name per scan barcode. You have to order one at a time for each person, and agree to the fright waiver.

They say non-transferable, but your name doesn't show up anywhere on the ticket... seems odd.

Congrats!  Did you have to use the code? The link didn't have it tonight, but was earlier...scanning the QR links to the "green frog" and requires the code.

This might be a stupid question, but when any event says "badge-holders" they always mean a badge for that day right?  So I could not attend this event on Saturday if I only have a Thursday badge even if it's offsite?
Title: Re: Go Go Godzilla!
Post by: SiddFinch on July 15, 2013, 10:52:48 PM
Yeah, I did have to use the code. A lot of the times that showed up as available were saying sold out as soon as you tried to check out. They seem to be going like crazy!

Only Saturday 1130, 1200 open http://godzillaencounter.ticketleap.com/saturday/add_to_cart/Jul-20-2013_at_1000AM

UPDATE: Times SOLD out 1100am-4 pm.  Expect them to post the next Thursday-Saturday afternoon batches soon?!

I have a Thursday & Sunday badge and a Friday Godzilla ticket.  It just says "a badge" and not "a badge valid for that day" so if they try to reject me I'm going to plead that to them and bat my eyes and hope they let me in. :-*

Can't wait for this. Scored a ticket for Thursday afternoon. I'll admit it's a little earlier than I would have wanted to leave the con but I think i'll live.

I am also confused about something though. On the website it says this...To secure your Encounter Pass, visit the Legendary Booth (#3920) at San Diego COMIC-CON® 2013.
Does that mean we need to bring our printed ticket to the booth to get another ticket into the Encounter itself?

"The Advance Tickets to the Godzilla Encounter" and the "Description--To receive your ticket to the Encounter, enter the secret password and reserve your time slot. Please note: this offer is open to Comic-Con badge-holders only, and you will be asked to present your badge before entry" means the pdf is the ticket!

The booth is for those who didn't get online.  I read that (from the TicketLeap site) "Advance tickets to the Godzilla Encounter are no longer available online. Please visit the Legendary Booth (#3920)" doesn't mean we've seen the last online batches for the Thurs-Sat afternoons.

!! If they're funny about the badge, just point out that the "Live Dates" on the ticket i.e. Security Clearance for the "Live Encounter" are from last month anyway!!

Well-we couldn't decide when to check it out last night, so I guess we are out of luck for now. Here's hoping they open more spots (but not if it means super-long lines for those that can make up their mind! :) ). We aren't big Godzilla fans, but a friend of ours is, so we wanted to try and get him some swag. I will keep an eye on this post. Thanks for all of the info from everybody so far!

It is worth going to see. I printed my pass and they scan the code. The encounter is fast so have the cameras ready. Lots to see. Godzilla looks awesome and you get a free poster ;)

Not sure if anyone else posted it now says

"The Godzilla Encounter is now open to the public. To secure a pass, visit the Legendary Booth (#3920) at Comic-Con."

Also, FYI, the "footage" they showed during the Encounter is NOT from the movie. When we went through as Press they made sure to stress that since it was being misreported.

Yeah, that Godzilla trailer was ALL new, Monsterific Beauty! Hall H in the new "Cinerama" mode rocked the house!

Okay, back to those Godzilla Encounter photos at Collider which have the sculpts for the Godzilla shown in the encounter, which I missed seeing due to the app and run aspect of the show! A lot of this leaked footage is being released through http://www.godzilla-movies.com/community/forums/topic/26391  but the Hall H teaser never really showed Godzilla's face and my speculation

Yeah, I was scanning with the app and trying to snap pics of the posters too and my phone wouldn't shut off.  Almost got booted out of the elevator.  I think this was a preview showing? Anyhow, the GE footage was 'leaked' previously, removed by WB and someone put up that gif rather quickly.  That Godzilla-Movie.com website, infos especially the tweets looking rather, polished, so my guess is is a WB PR or a great fan?!

Update:  If you click on the Godzilla-Movies site, notice the heading "Trailer Coming Soon"?
Update2: For those who didn't see the exhibit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDcsza4qMGk
