I can't believe it's that time again. Open Registration for the 2025 Comic-Con International in San Diego will take place on Saturday, October 26, 2024 commencing at 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time. And if it goes the way it's gone in past years, it'll be over around 9:45 AM Pacific Daylight Time. This is the moment when anyone — yes, even you — can log into their web portal and try to score badges for the convention. The convention, by the way, runs July 24-27 of next year with a Preview Night on Wednesday, July 23.
If you want to participate in this stampede for tickets, study this page well in advance. The folks who succeed in their mission that day will all have done this and they'll be ready to pounce.
You might also consider attending WonderCon Anaheim which will take place March 28-30 next year at the Anaheim Convention Center. WonderCon is run by the same folks who operate Comic-Con International but it's a smaller convention. It's whelming. It's just not overwhelming. Badges for that are not yet available and when they are, they probably won't sell out as rapidly. I'll try and let you know when they go on sale.
I expect to be at both conventions, my ankle permitting. And before someone asks — because someone always asks — I don't expect to be at any other conventions next year.
