Comic-Con Receives Offers To Leave San Diego

Popular event may re-locate to Los Angeles, Anaheim or Las Vegas for 2013

If you've ever been to San Diego Comic-Con then you know how hectic it can be. Well, that may change as the event prepares to move off to larger premises.

Apparently, Los Angeles, Anaheim and Las Vegas are all among suitors looking to attract the world-renowned event which draws over a 100,000 attendees every year. The current deal in place with the San Diego Convention Center expires in 2012 and already the convention has arranged to host additional events in nearby hotels to try and deal with the ever expanding crowd.

At the 2009 confab, attendees were diverted to strategically located panels in the Hilton San Diego Bayfront hotel which sits next door to the San Diego Convention Center itself.

Tickets for the 2010 event sold out in September, 2009 - a mere few months after the event itself - smashing previous records for Comic-Con ticket sales. This year also marks the first year that the event will be re-selling returned or cancelled passes in an effort to reduce ticket scalping at the doors.
