So the time is upon us for yet another Star Wars Celebration! Chicago this time, and already under a year away. April 11-15th, 2019. Tickets go on sale June 5th at noon CST and I believe that official hotels also open at that time.

Looks like the Kulach clan is heading down, anyone else have aspirations of going? Or already making plans?

I think I will be heading! A much easier destination for Canucks!

Anybody getting their tickets today?
I imagine their website will crash when these things go live at noon. I was thinking of trying for a VIP but I don't think I will bother. They will probably be sold out in about 5 seconds of going live, purchased by scalpers. $850 USD adds up to a lot and I am really hoping Reed POP is better organized this time. They have cryptically mentioned that they will be using a phone app for things so it may be better.
I am not one for camping out all night to get into a panel or even the Celebration store. Man, I hope you can pre-order stuff and pick it up this time instead of waiting in line for 8 hours. I didn't get any swag last time because of the monster wait times.

Got my 5 day ticket!! Whoo...first celebration for me!! VIP sold out in 30 seconds!! Wow

Yeah, the VIP sold out super fast.

Got my tickets. Little surprised that the 5-day pass has already sold out. And I think I saw that the 1-day Saturday tickets were 60% sold out this morning.

Wow, I am surprised the 5 day are sold out already. This thing is going to be big then. I am just hoping it is better organized. There are so many things they could do different to make the experience better.

I got my 5 day badges, as well. I tried for the VIP badges, but as usual, they were sold out instantly and despite going to the site right away, by the time the queue allowed me to buy anything, they were gone.

I am interested to see how the layout is in Chicago and if it will make things better or worse than previous celebrations.

The organization of it can't be worse than the last one. I am hoping for much better.

So, is anyone going to Celebration?
I see the autograph pre-purchase opens today. There haven't been any really big names announced yet but I imagine this will come soon. I am mostly interested in the OT actors so only Michael Pennington is on my list for now.
I am really hoping the Celebration is better organized this time. I don't mind standing in lines but when it is obvious that a small change can be made to make everyone's lives easier I get a bit frustrated.

I will be there for all 5 days!! Id like to meet the emperor but its not clear who else will be in attendance. 110 usd for a photo and another 110 for an autograph seems a little steep. Need to make a decision before it sells out!!

Eradicator · « **Reply #12 on:** February 14, 2019, 10:29:47 AM »

Better try and pre-purchase that right away because I think guests like him will sell out fast. I hit him up for an autograph at the last celebration. He was a nice fellow. I will have to check and see what he charged last time. I am thinking it was around $90. Inflation!!

brianakarobin · « **Reply #13 on:** February 24, 2019, 09:11:23 PM »

I will be there for all 5 days. I am not doing autographs - not really my thing.

Where are people staying? Maybe we can try to get a snow trooper gathering at some point.

I am staying way out at the Best Western by the airport. Elk Grove I believe.
