Happy Friday Truebies! We are just two weeks away from Comic Con International 2012. In addition to panel announcements the WB, which hosts autograph signings for many major shows, including HBO’s True Blood and Game of Thrones has announced that there will be some changes in procedure this year.
In a press release posted late yesterday afternoon, the organization emphased both traditional proceedings and the changes as follows:
- All signings will be held at the Warner Bros. booth, #4545 on the Comic-Con exhibition floor
- For the second straight year, Warner Bros. will distribute wristbands for signings via daily ticket drawings held at the Sails Pavilion inside the San Diego Convention Center, under the long-standing Comic-Con system.
NEW FOR THIS YEAR
- For 2012, the following modifications will be in effect for the wristband line procedure:
- All ticket drawings and wristband distributions for all signings will begin in the morning of the day of the specific signing, when the Sails Pavilion opens to attendees. Badged Comic-Con members can begin lining up as soon as the Sails Pavilion area opens to attendees. The ticket drawings will begin at 8:00 a.m. or shortly thereafter.
- All of the drawings for all signings will now take place in one line on the morning of the signing
- Advisory to fans and attendees: Lines will likely be much longer this year, and we appreciate your patience and understanding
In addition to these new procedures, the WB also provided a tentative schedule that is subject to change of what shows will be there and when.
