1)More tickets - but less per square foot means LEAVING SAN DIEGO. They need a larger space. It needs to be about twice as big.
2)Presales are fine - but having no tickets available day of for people with computers and credit cards seems unfair and against the spirit of the Con.
I went to the Con for more than a decade. I helped with it's web pages. I arranged for internet access onsite for 2 years. I had my own damned booth on year. I've worked in the onsite registration booth and had a great time. I've helped run the volunteer booth - worked in the Con suite, been to board meetings, helped at disabled services.
But try this: On Friday at 2pm try to walk the floor. And tell me *honestly* if it smells bad . In 2005 it smelled like a untidy gym.
And for the density and the fragrance what do you get? Hollywood movie panels and Steve Swansweet showing trailers for new (and lame) Star Wars videogames.
Con is like ice Cube's career - it used to be good - but now it sucks - and it's more popular than ever.
