2018 Calgary Comic Expo (Fan Expo Calgary?) April 26-29, 2018 5 5

The tickets are up open for sales to buy online. If Micheal Fox is on the list, expect to see some more big names coming and good comic artists to be on list. I have my sketch to go with me to get the artists do theirs on it. 

I already had brought my ticket. Next is to save up for the travel expenses and comic budget. A place to sleep is covered by a friend in Calgary. 

First time CCEE offered two options on tickets, the non-refundable and refundable. The refundable option is higher by price. If you want to cancel, there is a 4-6 weeks process to send back your refund (minus the service and tax fees). I think it is about the same as non-refundable level.

Is the Big 4 Building undergoing large renovations meaning those economy pop culture vendors, artists, inkers and publishers  will need to shoehorn into the main comicon halls?

Was not aware of this fact about their renovations.  Have they began doing the work now?

No idea when all be finished.  Hopefully all done before end of April. 

Add note: Found out they are building a new roundhouse stage with a bar inside there?  They had started in Oct 2017... that could be either reduced footage for vendors or not?

Here is the link showing the new venue inside one of the hall buildings. Will that mean some vendors and collectors going get little tippy with drinks? Will we see superhero themed cosplayers on stage to entertain us? That could be Greggy’s breakthrough on stage!?

Had a quick look at the schematic. Looks like pub is downstairs at the Big 4 Bldg so the stage should also be downstairs for greggy to 'shake it.'

... for Yorba Linda?  Joeypost may be getting his Western region cons mixed up, as Joey is flying each month.

With the guest list growing, it looks to be a good show happening in Calgary! 

Hope the weather will be kind on us once we are in Calgary these days.

Nope. This will be my third Calgary show. Hopefully it won’t be my last as it was a good show under old management. 

[Kevin Boyd]

It's the same management team. Fan Expo HQ is providing additional resources.

No can do for Flames tix. If I get any playoffs tix this year it will be for a Vegas road trip again.
