I started going to SDCC in 2005 and went straight to 2013, skipped 2014 and went again 2015 and 2016. My brother gets a professional badge and used to be able to get me one too for free, but not anymore. I've said it before; I think I have a nice solution to the limited space in SD. Here's what they should do, have Wondercon in SD so SD still gets people attending (not as many as the Comic Con, but a good, growing size) and that should appease the city of SD. Then move the Comic Con to the Los Angeles convention center where it's closer to the studios and has more space/hotels. Just a thought.
