somewhereintexas Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Should I be surprised that David Tennant autograph tickets are already sold out? VIP passes are still available for him, but they're very pricey ($475, which is $76 more than Columbus for basically the same thing). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicago is easily the biggest Wizard show in terms of attendance, and more people = more demand = higher prices. He sold out in Columbus too, so I would have been shocked if the packages didn't sell out in Chicago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It doesn't surprise me so much that he sold out, but rather that he sold out more than 3 weeks before the show opens. Guess I should be glad I still was able to get a VIP pass for him, because otherwise the show might not have been worth the effort without a sig from and a photo op with him. My daughter is much more interested in him than any of the other guests. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was any guest at Chicago with a limited number of packages that I was interested in, I'd buy them early too if I could. Assuming the spots are guaranteed, it is much nicer to have the certainty than the alternative of standing in a line for the whole con with no guarantees you'll get a signature. That'd be worth a bit of $$. Edited August 2, 2017 by mysterio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOC Collectibles Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 (edited) So I'm looking to buy a nicely presenting Showcase 22 at this show. Also seeing if any boardies would be interested in grabbing some pizza and talking comics Thursday evening?

Due to a scheduling conflict, I will be unable to attend Wizard Chicago this year. Have a fabulous time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would love to attend this again but this is the first year I'm bringing my children so I figure pizza may be more fitting. Sorry to hear you can't make it this year..
