Comic-Con registration reopens to new problems

comic con

Comic-Con's online registration reopened today -- after the website for the San Diego event cratered on the original date, Nov. 1 -- but the problems haven't gone away.

Clicking on the registration button brought this message: "500 - Internal server error. There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed." The dreaded Internal Server Error -- mightier than any superhero!

It must be frustrating for the thousands of fans looking forward to the 2011 West Coast gathering. And it's incredibly ironic that a convention based largely on futuristic characters can't master a simple online registration process.

Don't worry though. If you can't get through to the San Diego event, consider joining folks like Black Adam (Eric "The Smoke" Moran of Philadelphia) and Batman (Brian Gregory Camden, N.J.) at the Baltimore Comic-Con, Aug 20 and 21.

A few people eeked through registration, only to end up with one or two out of their party set with tickets. They shut down again, and I hope they get a new third party to handle the registration process. It was a HUGE failure.
