The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego was announced last month. Taking place from July 12-15 at Petco Park during the San Diego Comic-Con, the event is a live Walking Dead adventure that allows you to participate as a survivor, walker, or spectator.
Survivor tickets have already available and let you race through an obstacle course that is set up as a zombie infested evacuation zone. Today, it has been announced that the spectator tickets have gone on sale.
So, what does a spectator ticket get you? You'll be able to watch the event from the sidelines at the Escape Party. Food and beverages will be available and all specators receive an exclusive special edition poster of The Walking Dead #100 cover. It is also said that there will be Walking Dead-themed photo opportunities and merchandise. A ticket costs $15 and allows you to hang out for a 2 hour duration. As it gets close to July 12th we'll have more details on the event and we'll let readers know as soon as walker tickets go on sale.
For those that missed out on the original announcement, we've included it below. To pick up your spectator or survivor tickets, visit: http://www.thewalkingdeadescape.com/
"San Diego, CA – May 16, 2012 –Robert Kirkman, the creator/writer of The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novels and www.Skybound.com announce their first event, The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego. In conjunction with the release of the Eisner Award-winning The Walking Dead Issue #100 at San Diego Comic-Con, the event takes place July 12 -15 at Petco Park, centrally located near the San Diego Convention Center. Registration is now open at TheWalkingDeadEscape.Com. There are three ways to participate in this epic adventure. Participants can be a Survivor and race through the zombie infested evacuation zone; a Walker who becomes one of the undead, embracing the inevitable; or a Spectator who watches the apocalypse from sidelines at the Escape Party.
The Walking Dead Escape: San Diego is unlike any obstacle course event in the U.S., expanding on the best-selling The Walking Dead comic book series and graphic novel storylines, allowing Survivors and Walkers to explore the initial days of the apocalypse.
“Our fans have been reading about it, watching it and now they get to live it with The Walking Dead Escape,” said Robert Kirkman. “We are literally transforming Petco Park into the early days of society’s collapse and San Diego is just the first city to fall.”
Survivors will climb, crawl and slide in an effort to avoid confrontation by hordes of Walkers, while achieving the ultimate adventure on The Walking Dead-themed obstacle course. The Walking Dead Escape is not a race, and Survivors are not timed, but the end is near, and they must move swiftly. If they’re lucky, Survivors will reach the decontamination zone at the end where it will be determined if they have been infected.
Whether taking part in the event as a Survivor, Walker or Spectator, participants will be amazed at the interactive displays and The Walking Dead references along the course. Early registration is strongly recommended, as walk-ups may not be available on event day. This summer, The Walking Dead will be taking over Petco Park and fans will have a front row seat to the real-life action event of a lifetime."
