JDeck, it looks like you have to buy tickets in advance on line. I also have a few face book friends coming out!

Post by: Tamer on January 20, 2015, 02:56:15 AM: I went through it a few times on the front page and it seems to work for me. It is basically an image story, scroll through, where you can then enlarge an image if you click on it. You should see an arrow come up on the right side that will let you scroll through. I recommend enlarging this so it fits the full screen (box on the lower left). Try this link folks:

There is a regular ticket and an "elite" ticket that gets you in an hour earlier and there are some convention exclusives that look rather cool:

His set up was fantastic and I forgot my camera so I had to use my IPAD. It was great meeting him and his family and to just see the sheer awesomeness of his custom artwork. I really, really liked his six inch dioramas. I put up a Facebook Gallery for those who are interested:
