WANT TO GO
TO SAN DIEGO
COMIC-CON 2015?
O f course you do! So 20th Century
Fox Home Entertainment are once
again giving you the opportunity to
win a trip to the biggest pop culture expo on
the planet, running July 9–12 at the San
Diego Convention Centre. All you need to do
is purchase any specially-stickered Fox TV
title at a JB Hi-Fi store from April 13 to win
– and you can even take a friend!
Emily Brown from Newcastle, NSW,
was last year's lucky winner, and describes
the four day event in San Diego as "simply
amazing".
"A friend and I were trying to get tickets to
Comic-Con and missed out," Emily explains.
"We were in JB Hi-Fi and saw the competition
sticker on some of the sci-fi DVDs, so we
bought the ones that we wanted and entered
about five times."
Appropriately, it was the purchase of the
Stargate series that sent Emily and her friend
through a gateway into the world of cosplay,
comic books, superheroes, talent panels,
special previews and more merchandise than
you can pack in a suitcase, at the 2014 event.
A full four-day pass granted the girls access
to celebrity panels, teaser screenings for
forthcoming TV series, an advance screening
of The Maze Runner, and a meet and greet
with Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey and the rest
of the cast.
Emily notes that the preview night prior to
the event's official opening proved particularly
helpful. "We were in the media section, so
we got to go into the ground floor where all
the booths are set up a day early, which was
an awesome way to get the lay of the land
and prepare for the next four days. And we
got to see sneak previews of some upcoming
TV series like Constantine and The Flash."
San Diego Comic-Con is the premiere
event for breaking news and first looks
at hotly anticipated film and television
projects – so the burning question this
year is, will J.J. Abrams preview footage
from Star Wars Episode VII: The Force
Awakens to a rapturous response? And
can you afford not to be there if he does?
Getting to San Diego this July is as
easy as purchasing a DVD from JB. The
promotion will run for six weeks beginning
April 13, so make sure you stock up on
your favourite Fox television titles branded
with the Comic-Con sticker during this
period. Then simply enter online, and in
25 words or less, answer the following
question: Which Fox TV star are you
most excited about meeting at San Diego
Comic-Con 2015? The winner will be
chosen on originality and creativity.
Good luck. May the Force be with you
and the odds be ever in your favour.
San Diego Comic-Con 2014: the calm before the storm.
