Thinking about going to San Diego Comic-Con International 2011 this July? Unless you’ve managed to score some tickets already, it’s not gonna happen: all 100,000-plus spaces for attendees are now completely sold out.

After several botched attempts to sell tickets online over the past few months Comic-con was able to start selling them for real the morning of Saturday February 5th. Their servers were slammed for most of the day (reportedly, their “we are currently over capacity” image appeared regularly). Four-day passes for the convention were sold out by around 2 PM that day; by 6 PM, all the individual day passes were gone, too.

If you do happen to have a ticket, of course, the next obstacle is finding a place to stay in San Diego. Unfortunately, The date when rooms reserved by Comic-Con go on sale–has not yet been announced. Remember: there are more people attending the convention than there are hotel rooms in the San Diego Area. WHY the convention is still being held in a town that is too small to hold it is beyond me.

We are at a total loss for more info here.

About Damian

A native of Glastonbury, Connecticut, Damian has lived in Los Angeles for more than four years. Having worked in front of, behind, and above the camera, he has become a “Jack of All Trades” in the entertainment biz. Damian has collected comic books since he was five years old, dressed up as super-heroes since he was six, and occasionally gets paid by companies to portray them at conventions across the country. More important, he uses his awesome powers for good. Several times a year he collects donations from movie studios, toy companies, and comic book shops, so he can don the tights and cape of Superman for visits to children’s hospitals and the City of Hope’s annual cancer survivors picnic. Damian is currently working on several ongoing web series. In his spare time he enjoys slaying damsels and saving dragons in distress!
