"Today [Saturday] at about noon we made the decision to stop selling memberships on site, because the fire marshal had concerns we would reach capacity in the building, but we didn't actually reach capacity," Comic-Con International's Director of Marketing David Glanzer told CBR News Saturday night. "We were able to honor people who had pre-registered.
"We work very closely with the fire marshal. It didn't get to a situation where we had to close sections of the building. We were able to control the flow by stopping on site sales."
On Friday afternoon, CCI closed down online ticket sales through their Web site.
"It used to be years ago that Saturday was just a huge day, but now the difference between any given day is not that noticeable," continued Glanzer. "I know people think that one day seems to be far busier than another, but we haven't noticed that to be true. On Friday, we knew that our sales were doing well online and we had a lot of people in the building, adding that to who would be buying memberships on-site on Friday, so we decided to take our online sales off on Friday."
