Well I decided to call and they do not have parties on October 27 or 28. It still goes from October 23 to October 30. I am so bummed. I am NOT paying $5 extra to go on 10/31, even if I wanted to brave the crowds (and I don't). And Oct. 30 might work, but you know everyone who doesn't want to pay $5 extra for 10/31 is just going to go on 10/30 and it will be just as crowded. What's the rationale for skipping from10/23 to 10/30? Are they feeling that there's not going to be enough people in the World to warrant having the parties? I mean come on, October is Regular Season, the people will be there. Have they sold the night to other conventions or something for a private party? This just messes up my plans...now I have to decide if it's worth it to change my plans on Oct 30 just to make it to this party. I so want to go, but not if it's wall to wall people, and that's what it will be if it's a sell out.
And I know if I jump the gun and buy Oct 30 tickets, in 2 days they'll release Oct 27 and then I'll get stuck with tickets for a day I don't want. Whine whine whine...sorry.
