at that time i did not have a close hotel so the private coat check/couches& signings in addition to the early admission made it worth wild.  but hey, it's your time

If you wanted to get on the Skottie Young list, I could see VIP being worth it!

Didn't try for his list this year, but last year  I walked up to him about 30 minutes after doors and could still get on his list.
Though I couldn't work out exactly what I wanted so I got one from Rob Guillory instead.
But yes his list does fill up fast if you don't go there first.

I will add this about VIP.  Yes, they let the regular ticket holders in right after the VIPs, but the regular ticket holder line can get quite long and if you want to be at the front of it you need to line up 2-3 hours early (nothing compared to SDCC).  The VIP line is much shorter and you can show up 10-15 minutes before they open and get in ahead of everyone else.  So it can save you a couple of hours a day.

I also like the fact that C2E2 seems to have a more legitimate cap on VIP tickets.  One of my pet peeves with the Wizard World conventions is that they'll sell a VIP for just about anything and the VIP lines are usually as long or longer than the regular lines.

Nice. Every time I've tried I'm always too late.

Does C2E2 use the virtual queue like for NYCC? Did C2E2 sell out as fast as NYCC did last year? I'm trying to understand their ticket selling methods.

They use showclix for their ticket vendor, like NYCC. They don't see the same demand or tickets sell out as quick though. So the virtual queue may not come up or run as slow.

I don't think C2E2 has ever sold out.
