Its already starting to get pretty pricey for kids Like I came when Sunday tickets were half off for people 16 and under (so about $10).
I've been attending SDCC since 2008 and watched the popularity of the convention absolutely skyrocket with the addition of Hollywood.Every year though, it seems more studios/companies/productions pull out of SDCC. With Marvel not doing a Hall H panel this year, it go me thinking.Has SDCC started its descent in popularity/relevance? Most major movie studios have abandoned SDCC, the freebies/handouts have decreased both in quantity and quality, Disney chooses to showcase almost all of their stuff at D23 now and continues to gobble up more entertainment, Lionsgate pulled out of the deal with Comic-Con HQ, Nerd HQ is no more, Conival has decreased in scope and size, and the general craziness/fervor just seems less now.What do you think? Am I crazy?
At least from what I can see, every person with a semblance of nerd in them knows the name SDCC.. which is usually followed by a "I've always wanted to go" As long as that remains, I can't see it ever bending unless sdcc's content and exclusivity truly becomes widely accessible amongst other cons.
If not already mentioned before, i noticed this past months when volunteer chance opened that alot or many was tagging friends for a chance to do it since getting a reg badge was not easy. not sure how many of those tagged got in the door so to speak, but guessing they feel lucky to have a chance if got emails and made sure to check in to get all the forms need to turn in later. i was even told i was lucky to get in seeing how times have changed and know some who have done so before but decide to skip for any reason. i do the best i can to help and guess if they dont have to replace u or not gotta like lecture u any of any u do wrong then all is good. not exactly sure how they tell u that u cant volunteer anymore, but i really dont wanna be in the spot either. all i can do is follow the steps and do best i can on any job , but hope can do job i already know so they dont gotta keep training me for a new job every year or ea day.
Alot of mixed comments, but seeing how so many try go and miss a chance cause badge sell so fast that i saw alot people tagging others in a fb group last year and it was alot lol. i only discovered volunteer by checking the account and seeing volunteer tab and was thinking why not cause save u a bundle to help for a few ea day and still enjoy the event. not sure how many actually try for a badge and get mad and then try volunteer and get in by that way every year. i think anyone who not able get a badge by sales but by volunteer should be thankful and happy its another option so u not gotta just enjoy off sites every year but get to go in and check out stuff u want and get any free stuff by chance. not sure if to say the bubble burst but they do need more space however they are able to do so overtime. but i think offsite stuff or events helps to keep the center not so crowded at anytime to where u able to walk around in empty space at anytime cause everyone is downstairs, in a panel, or outside checking out stuff around the center.
I know they ask u if u wanted to at time u checkd in a while back, but guessing they send u email if they gave u a spot to work before the event. so guessing u have to wait for mail for any updates since they still busy with WonderCon news and all.
