San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Badges On Sale Today...Or Not

UPDATE: Due to traffic, the San Diego Comic-Con website has suspended badge sales. They posted a message on the official site saying to check back on November 8. More info after the jump.

Just a heads up, if you want to attend the world's largest pop culture convention, San Diego Comic-Con, happening July 21-24, 2011, you will want to purchase tickets today. Four day memberships go on sale at 9 a.m. PST and will sell out in a day or two, possibly less. Four day passes with preview night sold out at Comic-Con last year, so no preview night for people who purchase today, but you won't miss anything beyond that. Four days of comic books, video games, television, toys, exclusives and – of course – movies. And if you can't make it, you can bet the entire /Film team will be on hand to cover all the news that breaks. See you in July! Click here to purchase. 11:22 a.m. PST:

Here's the updated message on the Comic-Con Page.
