Turnout at San Diego Comic Convention 2008

July 25, 2008 | By Juliana Heng In Toy observations, Toys in the news, Where to get your toys |

It’s the second day of the annual San Diego Comic Convention (SDCC) 2008 in the US. Our local newspapers featured it today and it reported that the estimated turnout, based on tickets sales for this 4-day event is around 125,000. I thought that the eventual turnout should surpass this number.

Our inauragal Singapore Toy and Comic Convention (STCC) 2008 held here last month at the Suntec Convention Centre was free entry and it managed to pack about 140,000 visitors over the 2 days. If the STCC becomes very popular and so packed one day, we might also need to purchase tickets months in advance before we can get in! Wow, I wonder if that is good news or not?
