Bsore Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Ok so Salt Lake Comic Con ended on Saturday the 7th of September with some huge numbers. 50,000 tickets sold for the 3 day event. A huge list of Celebs including: Stan Lee William Shatner Lou Ferrigno Adam West Burt Ward Henry Winkler And a very long list of other guests. On Saturday the last day of the show the event sold out, the local fire marshalsstepped in and said they could not let anymore attendees in until peopleleft (the convention had exceeded the occupancy limit of our largestconvention center) the count from the fire marshal was 70 to 80,000people. I have read that the SLCCC now holds the record as the largest inaugural Comic Con in the nation and is being listed as number 5 in the top 5 cons (with reference to attendance) for this year. Wehad WETA make their first appearance at a con outside of SDCC(According to WETA they have never gone to any con other than SDCC) Some links to stories if you are interested: http://saltlakecomiccon.com/ http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865586042/Shatner-Lee-and-record-breaking-crowds-Inaugural-Salt-Lake-Comic-Con-ends-with-a-bang.html Thank you for reading and sharing this cool news for Utah and Salt Lake City. NowI did want to share this, I took with me a Hulk Through the Ages boxsetwith the intent to see if I could have Stan and Lou Ferrigno sign it,Unfortunately I was only able to get Lou to sign it as I had to leavebefore Stan, here is my boxset: Edited September 10, 2013 by Bsore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gambitron Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 (edited) Very cool! I went with my wife and son on Saturday. The highlight for us was meeting Nicholas Brendon who played Xander on Buffy the Vampire Slayer. That character is the namesake for our son Xander!
