I will continue to maintain we do not want to encourage things going to an online lottery. It seems to me we just need to encourage them to do better crowd control.
Thursday was a giant mess for the line, but it seemed like they fixed all the problems for the rest of the weekend. The online lotteries for ECCC and SWC seemed like giant jokes (people were selling tickets on eBay) so if SDCC does end up being an online lottery I really really hope they tie your entry to your memberid account somehow. I'm not sure CCI would be willing to do something like that though so who knows. I'm hoping they keep the system the same as last year, but just make sure security doesn't mess things up this go round!
really thursday line was a mess? i was in the front of the funko line thursday so i must have gotten lucky and missed all the commotion. what happened exactly?
The line got so long that it wrapped around out back to the pier and random people just started jumping in line
They held an online Funko lottery at ECCC this year, and I believe for Star Wars Celebration as well. It was very smooth, and all buying slots were allocated before the con even began. no line rushes and no hassles. I am hoping that they do that at SDCC this year as well.
Camping out to assure yourself an early chance at a wristband (where about 80% of the people won a time slot) is the most fair way to do it.
My own preference would be for a lottery but linking the lottery to badges.
