Boohoo!!! My streak Ended

Missing out on Friday and Saturday badges for Comic Con 2025 feels like being a superhero who forgot their powers just when they needed them most. You sit there, finger poised over the refresh button, heart pounding as if the fate of the multiverse hangs in the balance. And then—Sold Out. Just like that. It’s not Thanos snapping his fingers, but it might as well be. Instead of joining the con crowd in cosplay, you’re left with an empty cart and a heavy heart. You tell yourself it’s fine—you didn’t really need those two biggest days of the event, right?

Had 2 of laptops waiting in a virtual line

 Of course, Friday and Saturday are when all the best things happen. That’s when the big panels, the surprise guest appearances, and the once-in-a-lifetime merch drops happen. Meanwhile, you’re stuck imagining the con like it’s a post-apocalyptic wasteland. “Oh, cool,” you think, “maybe Sunday’s got some great exclusive scavenger hunts—because that’s all that’ll be left.” But no, while others are queuing for epic moments, you’ll be outside, probably cosplaying as a person who totally forgot to set their alarm for badge sales.

Still a long way in front of the line, and badges are near sold out

But hey, at least you’ll get more  sleep that weekend. No need to wake up at 5 a.m. to beat the crowds or risk dehydration while trying to navigate the chaos of the exhibit hall. You can take solace in the fact that you’ll have all the time to watch everyone’s social media posts from the comfort of your couch. And maybe—just maybe—you’ll convince yourself that Thursday and Sunday will be enough. Or you’ll just give in and buy a ridiculously overpriced resale badge because, let’s be real, FOMO always wins in the end.

And the dreaded words "Sold-out" popped on the screen

And even this moment I'm doing this entry trying to convince myself that it's ok. It's not. Would I be able to score those two days for general release or just throw in the towel and accept that my streak ended.
