They used to offer that. I’ve been going every year since 2003 and in let’s say...the first 10 years or so you used to be able to do that. Not so much anymore.

I will let you in on a tip though. Each comic book shop is offered tickets. 1 free and 1 pay. Make friends with a shop owner that is not going to use theirs. Tell them you’ll go to the diamond comics breakfast for them in which case they will get a care package sent to them filled with freebies. All in exchange for the ticket that they are not using anyway. Or just offer them cash for it.
