FanX Returns In January, with Carrie Fisher In Lineup

Via deseretnews.com:

SANDY — Salt Lake Comic Con is planning a smaller, high-quality FanX event coming in January, with “Star Wars” icon Carrie Fisher as one of the first guests to be named.

Salt Lake Comic Con founders Dan Farr and Bryan Brandenburg announced that only 50,000 tickets will be sold for the event, which returns to the Salt Palace Convention Center Jan. 29-31. The inaugural Salt Lake Comic Con in September 2013 was bursting at seams with 72,000 guests, and this year organizers drew 100,000 guests to the first FanX in April and 120,000 more to the second Salt Lake Comic Con in September.

Brandenburg expects that tickets, which go on sale at 2 p.m. Wednesday, could sell out before the year ends.

Fisher, Princess Leia from the original “Star Wars” trilogy, will be joined by Tom Felton, who played Draco Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” franchise; Morena Baccarin, who starred alongside past comic con guest Nathan Fillion in the short-lived “Firefly” series; and Christopher Lloyd, “Back To The Future,” who was scheduled to attend the September comic con but was pulled away by a film project.
