The Great Allentown Comic Con (Lehigh Valley’s Largest Pop Culture Convention) announced today that it had sold out a packed 10,000 sq ft dealer and artist showroom in advance of its upcoming July 16th show.

About 12 minutes ago (make that around 11:54-ish Pacific Standard Time) San Diego Comic Con announced on Twitter that all badges have been sold, though some remain in their special hotel package deal offer.

SDCC has JUST opened sale on a special limited time 4-day badge + hotel room package deal.

ComicCon will soon be re-selling the Single Day tickets returned by attendees who couldn’t make it the 2011 comic convention after all.

The buzz is that the major movie studios are looking to avoid Comic Con 2011 in San Diego this year. Film such as Sucker Punch, Tron and Scott Pilgrim were heavily advertised at SDCC last year…who could forget the 30 story Scott Pilgrim banner that took the whole side of the Hilton on the Bay Front? It was impressive at the time, but it did not translate at the box office.
