I walked through under the Sails on Sunday afternoon and was amazed at how many people were still newly coming through the Bag/Books/Lanyards lines (were all those people really just getting there for the first time?), although they were out of Bags (so sad for those attendees, how did that happen; and they were freely handing out as many of the badge boxes with the pin included as you wanted (extras?). Who gets to Comic-con on Sunday late afternoon with just a couple of hours left to hit the floor, wow the floor might've been even more crowded on Sunday afternoon than other days/times.
...but, what is to stop everyone from lining up to be first in the "check in"? You will always have those that are willing to show up extremely early to try to guarantee themselves a seat. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Let people line up. The problem is people cutting , tents, and groups of 5 turning into groups of 30.
I tend to think alot in any possible way, as i picture what possible with all the tech created old and new. cant somebody in charge have a scanner of sort to scan badges that stores that u was in line at start so if u had to go anywhere they rescan and says to those who rescan that u have entry into panel, but can also tell if anyone tried to make fake entry badge or other was able to pull those people out of line and call somebody to investigate it on the spot so they cant just add a band to wrist as if they was there and got scanned to be inside and have a space reserved cause they had legit badge scanned before anyone was allowed to go in at time. cause the system would know how many seats are open and then would say after all r taken that it would say something about being full so no fire marshall would freak out later. unless they made sure people had moved up when seats are emptied that was able to slowly let new traffic into place as somebody is directing them to fill space in a row of chairs like being a usher lol. if anyone went to get eats they put their bag on chair to say was coming back. just what i can imagine and easily to do i think, but guessing somebody might prove me wrong some how lol
First yr back for me after so many years by chance getting to go before i thought it was busier saturday and sunday, but those who i was with and like in charge of help said they thought thurs and fri was leading up to the craziness over the weekend since not many got a badge for fri or thurs, or only got a badge for days they was able to go or get working or not. i think bags ran out cause they was able to replace bags that broke so that took away from those who not got one in the first place. if they only allowed anyone to trade and not try to replace a broke bag then maybe they have enough for anyone any day. i glad i had a pack and extra tote bag plus any that was given away from booth at times. so they need to make the bags more durable so not to break or rip so easy. im guessing they gonna get or got an ear full at their feedback session they have after con was over and by any they get by email at anytime. for as much as the traffic pays to get in any day possible , hope they read and consider all comments and put it all into play some how for next year. Ok, rant over lol
Yeah I was surprised to see a super long line for bags Thursday morning this year. Did the WB print a lot less bags this year compared to previous years? Before, I was always able to go to the Hall D lobby area where they fix bags and find an extra bag I'm looking for. There was a nice guy who worked in that department who helped me find the Arrow bag I usually look for. I didn't see a bag-fixing area around this year. If there were less bags this year, I presume it's because of the special pins attached to the bags. Thankfully this year the bag I got was an Arrow bag (and a Arrow pin, whew).
Saving spots in line is a minor detail in this scenario, but still needs at least some sort of a written rule by CCI (even if not enforced by them totally). I don't care if it's 1 person is allowed to save 2 total spots or even up to 5. Whatever the number, it's not going to change the thickness of the line at the end of the day since space should have been established for these people at the initial creation of the line (when badges were scanned).There are probably some holes in my logic, but something needs to be done. I love Hall H and at the same time I am seriously reconsidering if I should do it next year if something doesn't change.
