How did ticket pickup work last year DURING Fan Expo? You pickup your ticket then line up with everyone, or do you line up, pick it up, then let in?

From what I've been reading you first line up to pick up tickets, and then line up to get let in. Kinda stupid but yeah. I'm picking mine up today though, Saturday will be too crazy.
 
Picked up my tickets today, literally no one there. Just two ladies sitting at the booth talking about Puppies and breastfeeding.....it was kinda awkward interrupting them to get my tickets.

If anyone gets to play Halo 4 on Thursday or Friday, could you post impressions here and how the setup was. Thanks.
 
Alright, after surveying the options around the convention centre I've decided on a choice between a few restaurants.

Grindhouse Burger Bar
Overdraught Irish Pub or Joe Badali's Ristorante Italiano & Bar (At the same location)

In regards to when, Sunday at 4:30pm-5:00pm would probably be best. Please feel free to arrive any time around that window and feel free to text me if you're going to be late or any other reason. (Please PM for my cell number)

If none of you are picky about the restaurant, I'd think the pub would probably be the best bet as it has more of a variety of food and is extremely close, so if no one has any objections I'd think that would be our best bet.

@lmhod you and the boys going to fan expo? I'm working it. At a both with the new Wii u & new avengers game. They will love it.

looks like it's there. cool.
 
My friend's going to play ZombiU and get motion sickness and throw up everywhere. So if you want to see a tiny hispanic Wolverine barf, hover around us for a bit.
 
Played Halo 4.

Actually, the gaming presence at Fan Expo this year is huge. Gaming takes up a huge amount of the show floor. There are a lot of games to play.

So this is a shot in the dark but does anyone know if CGC Comics is there this year? They don't mention it on their website but I was told otherwise by someone. I'm just trying to get a confirmation.
 
Is halo 4 at a specific booth and time? or is it always available?

EDIT: NVM found answer in case anyone needs it:

Thursday - Sunday | Xbox 360 Booth #2154
Halo 4 multiplayer for the first time in Canada! Play it at the Xbox booth and visit the EB Games booth for a free Halo 4 gift!*
 
Guys, ZomieU looks amazing. And Ubisoft had both AC3 single player and multi demos. Single player was sea battles in a storm. Pretty fucking aces.
 
I'm going tomorrow to get my tickets (FOR SURE THIS TIME). Might actually just buy a ticket and get my Fan Expo weekend started. :lol
 
Do they still allow ticket purchases to the event after 12? Considering going today, and a friend might tag along, but can't make it until after 12. Does it get cheaper by then?
 
Damn, gonna miss this again.
Work tomorrow evening and Mud Hero up in Albion Hills Saturday morning... How are the Sundays for FanExpo?

Pretty good. Less crowded than Saturday. Some celebrities are still there, and many of the attractions and exhibits (like Ubisoft, THQ, Marvel) are still up and running. Some dealers mark down there prices (not many, a few). Some of the rare items are gone by then though.

Its a chill day (relatively speaking) compared to the mayhem of Saturday. It does close early though, so its almost like 75% of the day of Saturday.
 
could you name some beside halo 4?

also will they all be there on sunday?

Ass Creed 3
Zombie U
Playstation Battle Royale
That Avengers game (played using Kinect)
Madden 13 (derp)
WWE 13
South Park
There was a large Eports section and a lot of other games I didn't even get a chance to look at. I'm there for a lot longer today. Hope to get my hands on some more of these games.

damn! wwe 13!

i wonder free gift will still be available on saturday or sunday

I just might go

how long is the lineup to buy tickets in person (too late to buy online)?
 
Anyone else find that WiFi/Cell access was really shitty on the show floor this year? I was going to post while I was on the floor but couldn't get anything working. Had a lot of trouble texting friends.
 
the 2010 guidebook said there would be 3DS, no 3DS
the 2011 guidebook said there would be Vita, no Vita
the 2012 guidebook mentions doesn't mention Wii U, there is Wii U

lol

Oh, and for that guy asking about CGC Comics, I didn't see them on the retailer list.

I found when I was in a crowd, it wasn't working, maybe interference? In the food court/lobby it worked fine
 
I'm here!

Got Stan Lee's autograph. I thought Billy West was in today, so I bought a photo to get signed. Kind of regretting it since I might not be here when he signs here tomorrow.
 
Slept in late and missed Marvels discussion regarding AvsX crossover. Today's been a bit of a bust, maybe cuz I'm not in the mood.

So many toys though....
 
And I'm home. I'm so tired. I wasn't so into it either. I did get a 30-day PS+ code after playing some PS All-Star Battle Royale. I'll have another go at it again tomorrow and Sunday to get at least two more codes to make it 90 days. A friend of mine somehow got a dozen of them.

Had no idea they were giving out PS+ codes. Are they stackable on an existing account? I should try for one tomorrow.

Did you go to the Electronic Playground panel by any chance?

I wasn't there, no. I completely forgot.

I'd like to think it's stackable, or at least it doesn't expire anytime soon. Worth waiting in line a few times to get a few codes in hand, I say.

Expanding on my Stan Lee experience: not so good. Seems like a nice guy, but the staff were really pushing us along. There was a guy in front of me, who came a long way to meet him and he nodded his head at him as he signed the guy's comic and he quickly signed my photo and the staff member snatched it and just handed it to me and sent me away. I had to shout a "thanks!" to him, but I don't think he noticed.

Some of these Fan Expo volunteers/staff are quite pushy, and I get that they're doing their job, but they pretty much just killed my moment to personally meet the guy.
