The San Diego Comic Con badges this year have been riddled with tons of failure this year. First they decided to sell their 2011 badges on November of 2010 and once they went on sale, it almost immediately crashed their site. They tried again on November 22nd with the same results. Then they tried a test sale where they put up 1000 badges for sale in December and they sold out in 60 seconds.
Cut to present day, and they are ready to try again.
One more time, San Diego Comic Con badges will go on sale at 9 a.m. Saturday February 5 on their official website. They range from $105 for a four day to $20 for a single day. Ticketleap, which will aid in selling the badges, has provided a few tips to help this run smoothly and you can read them below.
If you want to buy a badge you will have to GO HERE FIRST.
Here are some of the tips Ticket Leap have suggested:
Do NOT create a TicketLeap account at any time. These accounts are only for people hosting events. We don’t pre-store credit card information for ticket buyers, you will have to enter it manually on Saturday when you purchase tickets. By not creating an account before, during or after tickets go on sale this leaves our Support Team free to help those who need assistance.
Check your browser settings. Make sure you are running the most current version of your web browser. Please note that Internet Explorer 9 (which is in beta) will not be supported during the purchasing process. In addition, check your browser settings to make sure that JavaScript is enabled.
Have your information ready. Be sure your credit card billing information and each badge holder’s information is 100% accurate. If you enter your credit card information incorrectly, a pending charge will be placed on your card and your tickets will NOT be purchased. You will need the first name, last name and email address of each badge holder to complete your purchase.
Don’t time out your session. Once you have successfully put tickets in your shopping cart, you have 15 minutes to complete the necessary buyer information. If you take longer than 15 minutes your tickets will be released.
There are no phone sales.Comic-Con tickets can only be purchased online, so have your computer ready at 9 a.m. PST on Saturday.
