My friends are trying to add me as a +1 to their panel lottery picks and getting an error that I don't have a badge for that day.

I have a press badge.

Thanks, ReedPop, for continuing to suck.

EDIT: Yeah, apparently if you have an industry badge, regular attendees can't add you to their lottery picks.

honestly RP should have no say in who a paid attendee adds to their badge as their +1; they paid. I have no idea why RP has become so anti-press this year but really it's a bit grating.

Agreed. I asked them why and they never responded, probably because they don't have a reason that makes any kind of sense. It's not like it gives us a leg up - it gives us the same chance as any paid attendee.

Also, for fellow press badge holders, I'm not sure what your experience was like last year, but I had issues getting through the press entrance. They weren't letting me in through the blue entrance until 9am - actually one woman told me I wasn't allowed in until 10am. I usually don't show up until 9am anyway so it wasn't an issue before, but I was there early to try and line up for a Main Stage panel.

It's YMMV; I've seen it both ways last year but I also think it depends what time you get there. Pray for rain cause then they will let you inside.

It just seems like they say here is a press badge cover the show, but don't acknowledge that they have given you the badge to cover the show. Not all press are paid or are from huge outlets so we don't always just get approved to cover content. To cover the show right they should let us in the building.

I'm guaranteeing it will rain.  It usually rains on Saturday.  However, we got so much rain this summer in NY, I wouldn't be surprised if it rains on all the other days as well.  Just sayin'...    :)

It will rain Friday and Saturday, because I will be there. Sorry, guys, I bring the rain with me whenever I visit the east coast.

Just read past post and it seems RP has so many flags. Myself i am pissed because i never ot my tickets and now i have to go to the Crystal palace to get them...hopefully they will have them there.
Their work around issues like this: Called RP around 3 pm 3 weeks ago, "Hey i never received my tickets".. response: Oh, no!!! lets us know by the end of the week so we cna see what is the problem, after my call around 5pm they sent me an email saying: hey your address is incomplete and as result your ticket were never delivered :S BS

Lottery emails have started going out. Anyone get lucky?

(I, so far, have not.)
