PLANET COMICONTEST ENTRY #29

It is not hard to recall my greatest memory of Planet Comicon as it was the 1st time we attended the event in 2009.  I am a life-long Star Wars fan and at the time my daughter was 3 years old.  She had a kids book titled “What is a Wookie” that she took everywhere and made any adult in her path read to her.  When I found out Chewbacca himself was going to be attending, I wanted to take her to see him.  We had a medal made that resembled the one Chewbacca got passed at the end of Ep 4.  Once at the convention, we approached Mr. Mayhew, and I explained that my princess would like to give him a medal.  She put it around his neck, and he later read from the Wookie book to her.  Peter and his wife, Angie, offered to watch her while my wife and I walked around.  Normally I wouldn’t leave my child with a stranger, but I felt I created my own “Let the Wookie Win” moment.  We only left for a short while and upon returning we saw our daughter working the booth, helping sell Chewbacca photos.  In the end, she gave Chewbacca a giant-sized hug which says a lot about his kindness because she is normally shy around strangers.  Peter and Angie Mayhew were wonderful and just when I thought my Star Wars adventure was over, Planet Comicon showed me it had only just begun.  Thank you.  –William Bunn

ADVANCE TICKET UPDATE

We knew you were excited.  We just had no idea how excited.  Advance tickets went on sale on Saturday, and the numbers don’t lie.  With your help, we’re on track to make this the largest Planet Comicon ever!

Not only are we moving into a new facility that has twice the space, but we’ve got projects in the works that should have you talking about the show for months afterward.  If you’ve not already gotten your advance tickets, you can purchase them at the link below.  Weekend adult passes are selling at a discounted rate, but you can also get your single day or youth (ages 11-15) passes early as well.

Cut-off for the purchase of advance tickets will be Sunday, March 17th, so don’t delay.

ADVANCE TICKETS NOW ON SALE!

Advance tickets for Planet Comicon 2013 are now available for sale.  Please follow the link below in order to make your purchase.

Advance tickets will be sold until midnight on Sunday, March 17th.  After that time, they will only be available for sale at the event.

Weekend passes for adults are being sold at a discounted rate of $35.00.  All other prices will be identical to on-site pricing.

Advance tickets are available for sale ONLY through Paypal.  Paypal accepts all major credit cards.  If you do not already have a Paypal account set up, you will need to create one in order to make your purchase.

Advance tickets will ALSO be made available shortly through the event facility and local Kansas City area retailer(s).

Online advance tickets will be sold on a “will call” basis.  You WILL NOT be sent a physical ticket.  You WILL receive an e-mail confirmation.  There will be a staffed will call window all weekend long at Bartle Hall for ticket collection.  We are also looking at making available early pickup locations prior to the show.

All ticket sales are final.  Refunds will occur only in the event of Planet Comicon’s cancellation, and Planet Comicon WILL NOT be cancelled.  If your attendance is dependent upon a single guest, it may be wise for you to delay your purchase.  Unexpected things–such as life–occur, and the show must go on!

Tickets will ALWAYS be available at the door.

Have questions that haven’t been covered?  Please post them below, and we’ll do our best to get back to you with timely answers.
