Comic Con: How to get tickets, part 2 (SDCC San Diego Comic Con)

How to get tickets to Comic Con (part 2 : general ticket sales)
SDCC San Diego Comic Con International, the biggest Comic / geek event of the year.
How to get tickets to Comic Con can be a very confusing task and requires several steps to get there, you must take these steps far in advance of the July, when Comic Con is held every year, and there is no guarantee you will be granted access, as space is limited and it is the most popular geek event of the year. 130,000 people attended Comic Con San Diego 2013, the maximum occupancy of the San Diego Convention Center, and tickets sold out in 45 minutes.


how to get Comic Con tickets (called 'badges'):

step 1 : get a MEMBER ID

step 2: buy your badges (tickets)
there are three ways to do this:
1. if you purchased tickets before (then you are extremely fortunate), and you have the opportunity to buy badges (tickets) before everyone else in the "PRE-REG" (pre-registration badge purchase session, which occurs sometime in february). it's not a guarantee, but it's the best chance you have to get badges/tickets, (unless you currently own the batmobile).
2. GENERAL TICKET SALES or
"OPEN ONLINE REGISTRATION for badge purchase"
this is the time where everyone desperately tries to get badges/tickets. last year, Comic Con badges/tickets sold out in 45 minutes. may luck be ever in your favor. you do have a better chance of being struck by lighting while winning the lottery, then getting badges/tickets with this option, but you can still try.
3. badges/tickets can be refunded, if refunded before may 23, 2014. these badges/tickets will then go on sale for a "last chance sale," following a similar procedure as "PRE-REG" & GENERAL TICKET SALES/OPEN REGISTRATION. if you miss this opportunity, you can always just hang out outside in the many pavilions & cosplayers.

a note about volunteering:
you have to select your volunteer status in january. volunteering is not a last minute option if you can't get badges/ tickets.
