Did the VIP tickets really sell out that quickly?

I believe they always have. Past years I've seen them on Kijiji (certainly people looking for them at a premium).
No brainer to buy them if available I guess. Even if you have no intention to use them.

Actually looking on their facebook page it looks like they've moved from offering batches every month til April to a single batch of 550 today. There are the usual complaints from people posting who couldn't get VIP passes.
Actually it's kinda strange to read, there are just a few dozen complaints. I'm so used to other conventions that sellout way faster and you get hundreds or thousands of complaints instead.
Apparently there is no limit to the Deluxe passes.

Many complaints stem from people losing their reservation on VIP passes because of a check out error on the site. I had a VIP pass reserved but lost it due to the error, not ecstatic about it. Will have to try to get a VIP pass through the ebay auction they have every year.

He's still around? I've never bothered (or been able to) follow people as they get banned and show up again under new names.

Last year, I said that I was going to volunteer this year. I still want to, but it's taking some time for me to figure out how google works. Damn, mine eyes! Ok, I'll stop being lazy sometime soon and see if they still need people.
If Donald Sutherland shows up, then it's a party.

The Expo always needs more volunteers. However, they haven't started asking for them yet. Probably within the next month or so they will start looking to arrange that. The easiest way to be notified of when they are looking is to check them out on Facebook, as they tend to announce it on their FB page.

Norman Reedus is back after only a one year hiatus. Nice to see a bigger name star return so soon. Not really surprised though, he was a rock star last time he was out. Probably the most popular guest.
Walking Dead panel should be a lot better again, provided he can make it this time heheh

Ming, Penguin and the evil witch is there.
I'm guessing Kristy Swanson just has to roll out of bed and walk to the expo, iirc she lives in Calgary now.

Is Todd McFarlane going to be there? I don't see him on the list but maybe he has been there in past years, being from Calgary and all? I would like to get a signed copy of Amazing Spider-man 300/301 and The Art of Todd McFarlane.
