As I mentioned in a recent thread, I am going to be visiting Seattle in March/April for work. One of the things I wanted to do was to get to Emerald City Comic Con on the last weekend in March. Unfortunately, by the time I had all our travel details sorted, all the online Saturday and Sunday tickets have sold out (I won’t have time to go on the Friday, as I will be on the training course I am attending).

However, there may be some Sunday tickets at Fantasium Comics (1500 S. 336th St., Suite 12-A, Federal Way, WA 98003) in Tacoma. They can only sell tickets in person - I tried emailing. There would have to be a second visit in March to exchange the ticket for a pass, although I may be able to manage that.

If a doper was able to help me out by purchasing a single ticket for me, I would be very grateful. I can remit the ticket cost ($30 USD) via PayPal, plus some reasonable expenses, and a suitable compensatory drink as thanks.

So if anyone is able and willing to help, I’d be extremely grateful. Respond via thread or PM.

When did you contact them? According to [their website](http://www.fantasiumcomics.com/archives/1064), all their tickets for Sunday only are sold out already.
