It looks like comicon is thinking about not letting people who bought tickets during pre-registration to participate in general registration. http://sdccblog.com/2012/08/sdcc-2013-open-registration-pre-registration-buyers-left-out/

Long story, but during pre-registration I was only able to get a ticket for Sunday. I live out on the east coast and it doesn't make sense for me to travel all the way to SD for just Sunday. So if this decision is made then they'll be no SDCC for me this year.

Truthfully, I was already thinking about skipping it this year and going to WW Chicago instead. SDCC has become such a hassle. Getting tickets is just step 1. Then you've got to get a hotel room, and last year for me it cost too much because I lucked out on the hotel reg process. And then there are all the crowds.

I've been to WW Chicago twice, and both times it was pleasant: easy to get tickets, hotel room (right across the street), good selection of comics, more artists than I have time to see, and travel/hotel/food much less expensive so I have more to spend on comics.

I think this announcement by SDCC has made the decision for me, because it's reminded me of how much a hassle/cost SDCC is, so I think I'll go to WW Chicago no matter what the SDCC decides.
