I bought general admission ticket and then the photo ops and autographs. That way, I get to see them up close and personal. For being in the last row (okay, 2nd or 3rd from), I got pretty decent photos. By that, I don't mean FAB, like the first few rows, but "okay":

I wasn't quick enough to get him when he came running to the back once. And his leather jacket was soft as butter....yummm.

I emailed Creation and asked whether there was any possibility of getting a dual photo op with both BB & CB; haven't heard back yet. It would probably cost a FORTUNE.

David & Kate are doing dual ops at ShoreLeave for about $10-20 less than another photo op with each of them added together. I wrote and asked if there was a possibility of a David/Jewel dual op, and Kett said they're working on it.

The reserved seat IS awesome at Creation; it's just too expensive. And if I go preferred, opting out of the party & brunch, I'm 15 rows back, making that not quite as "worth it" either.

At ComicCon I always just make friends with people either in line or as we sit, and if I have to pee they hold my seat. But usually, there are 2-3 panels in a row in the big room I want to see.
