Actually last year my group skipped out on the last day. This year we *will* be staying for it but you'll not miss anything big if you don't- there are a lot of seminars and panels going on that day *but* nothing you probably couldn't have seen the other days. Last year though it took us pretty much the first two days to get used to the ebb and flow of this huge event so by the time we were checking out of the hotel we had a 'damn we're just getting started!' attitude.

I live just south of Atlanta, and I've been trying to get a group of friends to go, seeing as I've been wanting to go back since working one of the booths a few years ago.

While it is also pretty much a 24/7 costume fest, it is also one of the biggest sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comic book, anime festivals there is as well.

This far into the game it looks like Ticketmaster only (PayPal was accepted but only for early sign-up):

thanks GreenCapt. i sent the dragoncon people an email about it, but if ticketmaster must be used so be it.

the ticketmaster site has a whole shipping segment, does that mean i get my badges sent to me or do i get a receipt to pick up the badge at the con?

Last year we bought about a week in advance through Ticketmaster and were mailed 'tickets' but still needed to pick up the official con badges when we got there (in a much shorter line than buying them on the spot).
