I got in! I wish they would've let us know about the queue instead of making us wait all day, but I do like the queue system better.

Unfortunately, our group didn't have the guest names sorted out with who should put who on the form, so we all put the same person as guest...Hoping that's not an issue!

I have tickets from the funatics lottery but watched my friends go through the general sale- so stressful! And as others have said, it doesn’t make much sense that they made people stress and refresh all day if they were going to use queue it. But it seems like a lot more people were able to get in in general! So the larger venue is probably helping the odds of getting tickets- but maybe the queue it system also helps even the playing field against people who have insider info?

Got it too! Will be a first for and my guest. Anyone else notice there is a edit ticket info/transfer button that doesnt let you edit it lol

Think my guest should be good to go but having that option would be nice if something came up. Instead of losing 260 on that extra tix

there was an option to pay $40 extra and receive a refund in case you can't make it

LOL! Funko is thirsty for that money. That's $40 free dollars to them.

Somehow that felt worse than the SDCC badge sale and Hotelpocalypse? I was not expecting the rollercoaster ride that came from the wait time going down and up and down and way up. Then there was the waitlist drama! I didn't even know a waitlist was an option until I sat back down at my computer and saw I had a minute wait to enter the waitlist... Except that minute lasted for almost ten minutes, and I couldn't submit a waitlist request once I got in. I'm not sure if my waitlist entry even matters since I was only able to do it after they fixed the bug in their system. I'm probably at the bottom of that list.

I wasn't prepared for the stress. lol.

This'll be my 19th Fundays, the first 10 were the best always under 200 people and one year only had 125 people, Mexican Buffet was amazing you could eat leave your stuff at the table as most of the crowd were the same for 10 years, but that's before the pop and they were wobblers not nearly as popular, after the pops 2015 they sold to the general public after that became a nightmare to get tickets, and the people that went were college kids and people jumping on tables and fighting over them it was bad, literally ripping the boxes to take them from others. That's why they have the prize patrol after that year. I'm afraid the year they stop offering to boa :ready5:rd members, that would be a terrible year.

We didn't get tickets if that wasn't obvious from my initial post.  :cry: Went it right at 2pm and saw the hour wait, that jumped up and down all over the place after that. Did get on the waitlist eventually after they fixed the bug that prevented anyone from signing up for, not sure what the odds are getting tickets from the waitlist though.

I will get the chance to attend as a +1 with a friend  :) I will be keeping an eye out for another ticket opportunity if my wife can get the chance to attend as well, but in any event I have her blessing to attend myself and receive a Fundays box we can share  :)

Best of luck getting off the waitlist.

I know the layout might be different with the new venue, but does anyone recall how many people are sat around a table? I haven't been since 2018 and I think it was 8-10 people? Can we can choose tables or is it assigned based on who you walk in with?
