CJ25 Star Wars Celebration (social thread)

I also got the confirmation email from Reed. Almost 3 months after the transfer happened.

 

I don't expect to get a VIP ticket since I am double digits away from it but a man can dream and hope for a miracle. The 4 day tickets waiting list moved really fast in the past so I would be very surprised if you don't get yours if the waiting list is transferred to 2022

 

Wonder Woman 1984 is releasing on HBO Max on Christmas Day for no extra cost. It will also play in theaters that are open.

As a customer I'm happy, but this is going to be a big blow to theaters.

 

After I got my two passes from Lyte earlier this year, I contacted ReedPop and they let me add lanyards and the guide book to my order. My lanyards came in the mail today. They're the same ones that are being sold on the online store, they're using the key art but the Celebration logo has no date on it.

 

It’s really a kick to the nuts. When I found out earlier this morning I had a panic attack. I’m ready for some good news. The vaccine needs to come quickly.

Did they quietly change Celebration to a 5 day event again? Because my rollover confirmation email says August 18-22.

 

December 16th here (assuming cinemas reopen). Promise I won't spoil it for you

I'd be good with this. I loved having the show floor day in Chicago, felt like it took some of the pressure off from trying to fit everything in.

 

I'm blocking you just in case.

 

I am in the Celebration Facebook group, and one of the admins said it was likely a Typo. Atill, I could see them possibly doing 5 days for future celebrations.

They write out the days "Thursday" and "Monday", so that's more than a typo. Could be a mistake, but that's not a typo.

 

For those looking to buy tickets:

 

Hi everyone! Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but does anyone know where I might be able to purchase some merchandise from previous Celebrations? I attended Celebration Chicago in 2019 and bought several T-shirts in larger sizes so that I could pretty much always wear them, but some of them are enormous and I was hoping to buy some in smaller sizes that fit me better. Are there any Facebook groups or fan sites that sell these? From what I've seen, eBay is really hit or miss with what's available. Thanks!

 

Please, no more 5 dayers! that should've happened on the 40th Anniv. Cele. Who knows, people who did not role over their tickets may end up paying much more for the new ones, also, we who rolled over the tickets, would we be paying for one more day if they extend it to 5 days?. As for the lanyard no number, just write the former date on it, in memory of the Cele. that wasn't, add a little virus emblem on it too.

 

@Trev Elyt: The Celebration online store is open right now with a bunch of stuff available, and some items just have the Celebration logo with no specific year attached. Perhaps even contact them directly and ask if they have any remaining items from previous Celebrations that you could order. Either that or join the Celebration Facebook group and just ask around to see if anybody has anything they are willing to sell. Other than that, Ebay is pretty much your best bet to be able to just find something for sale and buy it, which you would have to just check frequently.

 

Awesome, thank you so much! This information is super helpful. I really appreciate it!

 

Just confirmed on Twitter, SWCA is still 4 days, emails were in error.

 

Proof:

 

I was about to be kind of miffed. I've never attended a five day con and really want to attend one, and I would have held on to my ticket if I knew Celebration was going to become five days.

 

I think we are all relieved we don't have to endure five days with @ChrisLyne again.

 

There's definitely an energy dip on the Monday but I did love having a day just to browse the show floor and do the Celebration Store without worrying about missing panels.

 

I always feel rushed and miss out on a few events even with 5 days in Chicago so I would not mind 5-6 days.

 

Don't tell my wallet, but I'm always down for more days as well. I was never bored in Chicago.

 

I love that sense of basically living at the con, and four days always seems to just fly by way too quickly. So just having that overall sense of it being five days I think would be really cool.

 

I've attended the London Celebrations which were three days. I was usually Celebrated-out by the third day and spent most of the time waiting for the vendors to start packing up so I could look for sales. And i was usually just starting to come down with the Con Crud so I was glad to get home.
