Agreed on return registration having a real-but-difficult-to-quantify value. But Comic-Con days already have stated values - it would be the cost of buying that single day ticket. It wouldn't be hard for CCI to 'make change' if they want to.

I wouldn’t necessarily read much into the November 19-21 “Convention With Trade Show” being SDCC’s event. There are multiple other “Convention with Trade Shows” of similar sizes listed in surrounding months so that description alone does not make me think SDCC (the bigger giveaway when that description was used in July was the estimated attendance of 135,000.). I also think the November event will be bigger than 7000 (although 7000 is still within the realm of possibility.)

it may be that cci is setting expectations for a low attendance rate in case they can't get a large venue. I would imagine they could do 7K at the museum but if they could do another venue.....

This is pure speculation on my part, but...

Based on an article from the unofficial blog, that is linked to an interview with David Glanzer, if all ducks line up in a row, we're looking at more than 7000.

Just speculating...

ColossalCon is taking place in Sandusky, Ohio, on the weekend of June 2-6. These are the COVID-related restrictions.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. If cons like this are successful, that could have an impact on the kinds of restrictions in place for Comic Con Special Edition in November.

I'd be interested to see what happens to Con season this summer. I'm vaccinated up, optimistic and hopeful for San Diego in 2022. Maybe by then I'll be ready to be in a room with thousands of people again  :D :D

IMO they have too many exceptions to who doesn't have to wear a mask, doing this makes it so basically anyone who doesn't want to wear one, won't .  Which makes it dangerous for everyone.  Easy pass for me on a show set up like this.

I agree; that feels like reckless behavior, and if organizers are going to be cavalier about a pandemic decision, I would be concerned about other poor decisions management may make.

This perfectly sums up how I look at those I come into contact with now.  I'm becoming a judgmental person, though I wish I weren't.

“California reveals details of June 15 full reopening plan”

1. “The first and biggest change is the removal of all capacity limits and physical distancing requirements, regardless of setting. That means bars, restaurants, concert venues, grocery stores and everything in between can open at full capacity -- if they so choose.“

2. “Proof of vaccination or a negative COVID-19 test won't be necessary to do anything, not even go to a sports game. However, the state is planning to keep some recommendations -- not requirements -- on these "mega events" in place. ... At outdoor live events with more than 10,000 people, California will recommend venues have a verification of vaccination/negative test in place. Those who aren't vaccinated or who don't show a negative test result can still enter if they wear a mask.”

3. “Indoor venues with 5,000 or more people should implement a similar verification. However, at these indoor events, non-vaccinated people who don't show a negative COVID-19 test result shouldn't enter, the state recommends.”
