[quote name='Celtic']So... My friend won tickets to comic con and he is going to give me one, so Im going there, I was going to go the other year but I couldnt, and Ive never been to one, so this is first time going. He doenst remember the day the tickets are for, so I have this couple of questions:
What can I expect to be there?

Lots of lines and standing if you're trying to get into assorted exhibits or seminars.
Seriously, there's the main floor with booths by all sorts of companies trying to show off what you can expect soon. Pirates of the Carribean has a booth there showing off the movies in blueray. Sci Fi network has a booth there, I saw an exhibit showing off old Donkey Kong arcade machines. Hasbro is selling an R2-KT toy where the money goes to a charity.

and other stuff.
Is there a list where I can see the events for all days?

for thursday. Click on the friday/sat/sun to see those days events.
At what time does it start and ends?
10am is when the doors open. The con "ends" at 7pm but there are nighttime events and of course in the main hall, there's still lots of stuff to see and buy. I think it closes closes around 11ish.
Are the things overpriced?
What kind of things do they sell, except from figures an comics?
Not sure if things are overpriced... I'll defer to other CAGs. I dont think you will find many deals here; this is more like the place to get things that are otherwise hard to find. My friend bought a Dark Tower 1st edition set for $25... is that a bad deal? Dunno. Another friend bought a t shirt showing a machine gun sticking out of a tent with the caption "its a perfectly acceptable strategy" (camping). I think he paid $20.
AS far as what is sold, you can find t shirts, posters, dvds, comics, action figures, assorted trinkets (busts, swords, etc.)
Last year I bought 4 t shirts for ... I think $60. Honestly I don't remember what I paid for them. I dont think it was a great deal but I got shirts that otherwise I'd never have bought (Mr Sparkles) and are fairly hard to find otherwise unless you hunt it down on the internet.
Sorry for being so noobish, I just wanted to ask ^^. Thanks
No problemo. This is my 3rd con and I consider myself to be n00bish still.
