I managed to grab one for me and my friend, but heads up you need a separate session for each person who needs a ticket. Almost learned that the hard way. I went the first year but didn't get in last year!

Went last year and it was an absolute blast. Wasn't quick enough to get tickets this year :( I'm pretty bummed. I was hoping to surprise my wife with this for our anniversary. I'm hoping there are more opportunities to go.

Unofficial SDCC blog tweeted that getFandom will be doing some contest for tickets through Twitter.

@BadWolf your posts states 1st round  sold out in a minute or so.  Does that mean there are other rounds of tickets coming available or are those mostly contest based?

Well the fact that the company didn’t even post to there own site is ludicrous like I follow them and have notifications on but missed out because the company itself didn’t post their own link

I do not get this at all. There was no advance notice and then the tix get sold out in less than one minute. Couple that with the fact that there is nothing on the Fandom twitter account about it until after it was sold out.

I got tickets to this in 2016 and the line never even made it in the door.. but I only have heard good things since. I'm sad to have missed out the last two years!

Guess we can hold out for the contests..

I'm with you.. how were this many sdcc attendees ready to pounce without announcements?

This is exactly how I feel..why would the company who's hosting the event not even send out a tweet? I appreciate everything that SDCC unofficial blog does but having to wait for them to post and share shouldn't be the only way. I've heard the rumblings and rumors of the past, and I'm not confirming any, but if they have the information ahead of time, its an unfair advantage as we know they'd want to attend and take tickets too. I mean who wouldn't?

I'm just saying its not fair for the average fan..Fandom should've provided some kind of info ahead of time.

I got a RSVP! Turn on the @SD_Comic_Con notifications.

I will go solo but, hopefully, have a great time.

The Unofficial Blog's twitter said that the first round of tickets was exclusive to the ublog, and the next will be through their social media on Monday.

I got one ticket, then realized they hadn't asked for a plus one and immediately went in and got one for my friend. Submitted JUST as I got a push notification that they were sold out. Phew. That was Nerd HQ Conversation tickets levels of adrenaline rush there. I skipped out on this party two years ago and have regretted it ever since. Didn't get tickets last year, look forward to finally going this year. It will be my first time ever in the Hard Rock!

Also, my friend and I were really disappointed to only get Thurs/Sun tickets this year, so I've been working overtime to find us really cool things to do in the Gaslamp to make up for it. This party was one of the things at the top of my list!

Because they probably have push notifications turned on for the Unofficial SDCC Blog's twitter.

I also find it weird the @getfandom account didn't posted anything until after it was sold out.
