I'm sure I'm not the only one who assumed it was an equal number of wristbands for each group A,B, C, and D. Seems likt that's not actually the case. Saturday morning, we were group A and fortunate enough to be in Chute 2 when Chutes were first loaded in the morning. When 3 was loading, I looked over and saw a group that clearly had B wristbands. And two chutes alone do not hold 1500 people.
So trying to read all the info out there on what happened w/the counterfeit wristbands (and am still catching up), wouldn't' there have had to be prior knowledge to the color of them for counterfeits to be made? Just out of curiosity, were the bands the same as last year? I would hope not, but then again, crazier things have happened before. Do the colors change each day?
I'm not discounting that there were fake wristbands at all, but want to make note of another problem that's more controllable by SDCC. On Saturday AM, the staff never came and asked our section about large blocks of seats being saved or that were empty. In my mid hall H, center section row alone there were 5 empty seats, three of which were together- that stayed empty until well after DC. The women next to us tried to hold seats on either end of their group so that no one would sit next to them. They had bags on their seats and we assumed someone was coming until they were directly asked. Good news is that eventually staff/volunteers did start getting proactive and got those seats filled with stragglers from the Hall H wristband group.

If you want a personal bubble around your group, then Hall H is not the place to be. The nerve of some people!On the other side, I did have someone sit next to me that was pretty trim, but somehow managed to take up a couple of inches of my chair. I was practically on DH's lap. (This was not in Hall H-I liked the new chairs in there!)
