The Indy500 is turning into something my daughter and I go to, and I'm looking for something my son and I can do. I'm thinking for 2020, not this year.

A couple of guys that used to work for me go every year. There might be a good way of doing it: there also might be a way for me to get you in using industry connections.

Lemme ask anyway.

We all expect something spectacular.

My then fiancé, now wife, and I took my 11 year old son, Nicholas, to Comic-Con in 1991. Not being a big comic book fan at that stage of my life but wanting to allow my son and his best friend, Jeff, as much time at the event over 2 days as they wanted, and not wanting to have to worry about dropping them off and worrying about them wandering around the convention center unescorted, I decided to spring for a couple of hotel rooms at a nice hotel within walking distance.

I treated the event like taking young kids to Disneyland: spring for a few rooms at the Disneyland Hotel and take the Monorail to the park, come back for a midday rest and then go back around sunset, all the while leaving the car in the hotel parking lot.

It was a good decision and we were able to walk to and from the convention center without worrying about parking.

Befriend a security guy and bum thousands of dollars of tix and merch from them.

Failing that, say your dog needs an operation...

Dress up as Sailor Moon and stand outside the Convention Center with a "come hither" look on your face.

On a serious note, 2019 badges are sold out. You can get them through Vivid Seats ;-).

I’ve never tried to get Comicon tickets but I have colleagues who have tried unsuccessfully. My understanding is tickets are sold out within minutes.
