Title: Conan 2019
Post by: frgx on February 26, 2019, 05:53:36 PM
I think an over-eager 1iota intern listed these dates prematurely--    :-\

https://conan.1iota.com/show/370/Conan

Surprised to see that there are taping dates listed for the Conan show that go all the way to August. There are even a couple listed for Comic-Con week, July 17th and July 18th "Coming Soon". However those tapings take place in Los Angeles, not San Diego.  I don't know what to make of this.

Conan's show is now only 30 minutes long instead of an hour. I wonder how this will affect the SDCC shows?

I honestly don't expect him to show up at all.

As a Conan fan, will be sad if he is gone.
As a fan of free pops, Will suck they are gone.
As a person who knows the ridiculousness that people go to try and get the pops from Conan the last few years.....I'm ok with it being gone.
Would mainly be a bummer if the Conan Comedy House wasn't there again because that was amazing.

lol that about sums it up doesn't it.  I loved the show and I love the pop, but the crush of people trying to get that pop from you after the show was super frustrating.  As was the process of trying to get tickets anyway.  Still gonna miss it if it doesn't happen though.

Conan is a solid no for me. It was a fun time, but I felt like it was a wasted day, as far as the con side goes. Get me back into a fandom party, now that’s a completely different story.

My guess is also NO.  If he does come I wonder if the shorter show will affect demand?  The time invested to get in will be the same, but the show will be half the time.  Just curious.

In my opinion, if Conan does go to SD, the demand would stay the same/high.

I agree, personally I would love it being shorter but starting at the same time on PN.  Then I could get back before the doors open

I don't think he'll be back.  He's scaled down production quite a bit upon his return, but I think he DOES still want to travel and do shows in other cities/countries.  I suspect he'll bail on SDCCI in order to put production travel budget elsewhere.  Will be curious to see what happens, though.

Conan is a solid no for me. It was a fun time, but I felt like it was a wasted day, as far as the con side goes.
Yeah, I'm really torn about whether or not I'd want to go again.  I'm very very very happy to have gotten to go (it was one of the few Comic-Con related things I hadn't done over the years: 3rd time was the charm for me & Conan) but you're right about the time commitment.  The year I went, I did not have a Preview Night badge & had 4-day.  For me, Friday is often 'complicated' due to usually wanting to wait in line for Saturday (or, like last year, I went to panels most of Friday).  In a perfect world, when I get 4-Day + PN (like this year: yea!!!!), I use PN to scope out and enjoy all the vendors in the Exhibit Hall & Thursday is my kind of 'laid back,' no plans/anything goes type of day.  The year I went to Conan I didn't have PN, and went to Conan on Thursday.  I spent a lot of morning in line for Conan tix (and was still way high in the nose bleeds since I 'only' got in line 'as late as' 6/6:30am), went to the Hall for 90 min/2 hours or so, then back to Conan for the taping, then a few more hours or so back to the Exhibit Hall.  I felt like it 'threw me off my game' a bit, and I didn't really get to see/explore the nitty gritty of the Exhibit Hall until Sunday.  Last year I tried for tix for Thurs. & Sat. but didn't get em which worked out fine because I waited in line for a bit Thursday for Fri, and was able to walk right into Hall H for a bit on Sat.
I'll probably try for tix again, but won't sweat it if I didn't get 'em.

Same here--while Conan is probably my favorite offsite, it eats up most of the day and when I have a badge it's very hard to justify spending so much time outside the convention center. (The year I went to Conan, it was perfect since I was a volunteer rather than an attendee.) And last year, there were people who got selected and waited in line but still weren't able to get into the show.

I have to admit the whole thing with people getting there earlier and earlier had me questioning how long I would continue to go.  I wasn't going to sleep out for it after winning the ticket.

The same thing happened to Conan as what happened to Hall H and the Everything Else line.  People always try to beat the previous year's line up time and it creeps sooner and sooner and sooner.  Quite ridiculous, but a natural occurrence when it comes to lines at SDCC.  We can throw ideas out on how to combat it but ultimately it's out of our control.  Sadly, just like with Hall H, I'd probably keep doing it though.  I grew up on Conan (staying up way too late on school nights) so being able to see him in person was super special to me.

I'd still go if it happened to fit into our schedule. There have been a couple of years that we got tickets, but ended up releasing them because of a conflicting schedule. Since last year was a "non-Marvel" year we were able to actually to use our the Saturday tickets we received. It was our first time ever! I had heard the horror stories about having to line up early in the morning just to get the tickets that were allotted to you, and them running out by 10am earlier in the week.

We got lucky and were able to go to the WB panel in Hall H that morning, then go over and pick up our tickets when that let out. There were still plenty of tickets left even though it was like 1pm by then!  We were able to get lunch and do the Mr. Mercedes offsite (we had a fastpass, but there was no line anyway) before heading over to Conan. We got pretty decent seats too, in the lower section, just a couple rows behind the band. Then afterward, we went to the Purge panel, and checked out the VR pavilion thing over at Omni after that. So from our perspective, it wasn't much of a time suck at all.

They tightened things up last year and I didn't hear any complaints about not getting in.  They were smart they took any leftover tickets and gave them out on the streets instead of a standby line.  That really seemed to be an improvement on their part.

I'm with you on that.  I was a fan of his when he was on SNL: mainly as a writer, but he appeared in some sketches and had such a uniquely goofy demeanor I couldn't help but think, "ooh: the red head is in this sketch!"  I was hyped when he got the Late Night gig, and watched him almost religiously (sometimes via VHS, recording his episodes and watching them the next day)!  His early days were almost boarder-line disastrously funny, and as he found his stride he was second only to GOAT Letterman in comic genius (IMO).

I was so hyped when I won the golden ticket on year three, and had a blast at the taping.  Now that I've done it, I don't stress too much about scoring another ticket.  I hope to scores tix if he's back this year, but I won't stress if I don't (and I'll certainly find other things to occupy my time :) )

I still quote his late night comedy jokes from like 15 years ago to this day.  Of course nobody gets the jokes but they were so funny they stuck with me for a decade and a half hahaha.

I think at this point we don't know yet: nothing official, just some sort of SNAFU on their ticketing website is my best guess.  No point being super excited or bummed out just yet (don't tell my wife, but Comic-Con seems to be one of the few things I'm perpetually optimistic about)

It would certainly be odd if he didn't have any kind of presence at SDCC - ever since 2015 his face (or his POP face) has been an integral part of the marketing for SDCC. I remember the first year he was there his POP ad was on one of the biggest hotels downtown. I remember the first SDCC promotion I saw last year was Conan on the airport escalators as soon as I got off my plane.

I will say, I don't think he'll be back at the theater, even though they controlled a bit of the hype last year and didn't allow people to lineup overnight, it still seems like his live tapings at Spreckles are getting harder to control with each year...but I could see him coming back as a moderator for panels, have his own panel, or maybe even host the SDCC Funko Funday party.

Or maybe they've got something planned that is completely different, like an event at the baseball park or some kind of party.

I just think he's made too much of an impact at SDCC to completely disappear.

Post by: chocolateshake on March 06, 2019, 11:10:36 AM
Many things became iconic at SDCC and then just stopped one year.

I also don't think they will have the tapings any more. There's really no show to tape anymore. The new format of the show is more sit down in my living room and chat then a variety talk show like it used to be. I doubt they have the budget for it anymore.

I do think that Conan will be back. He already showed how last year. The comedy club. That worked really well last year. It's relatively low cost to put on. It boosts Conan the brand as oppose to Conan the TBS TV show. He could do it independent of TBS. Last year it was free but even if he charged for it, I think it would still sell out in an instant. That would go a long way to mitigate the cost and it fits right in with his comedy tour earlier this year.

I definitely have a gut feeling we will see a Conan presence in some sort of capacity, even if it is a reduced one, if for no other reason than the fact that the promo is too good for him to pass up, imo.

Remember those Conan Pops! advertisements everywhere were for his TBS show: not really Comic-Con per say.  Ultimately it was promoting his TBS Comic-Con show-run.  I can see him maybe doing a live podcast in SD for a change: he can even do it similar to the comedy shows last year and put them in smallish, intimate venues.

It bummed me out when I thought about Conan not coming because of his new show format. Doing Conan on Wednesday in 2016 was one of the best parts of our first SDCC experience. I hope he comes back in some capacity.

Hello! It is a lottery through the 1iota website; however, "winning" the lottery still requires to line-up at the ticket distribution site. This offsite has become so popular that having a 1iota reservation does not always equate to a ticket to the event. There will be an announcement once the tickets are available; last year was on 9 July.

Here is an article from last years sale for reference. https://sdccblog.com/2018/07/conan-san-diego-comic-con-2018-tickets-now-available/

Which offsite?  The show taping was a lottery.  The comedy club was a straight up first come first served sign up.

A lot of people didn't.  The comedy club was way easier to get into.  They also gave away the Conan Pops there.  My call is no taping this year, but that they will bring back the comedy club.  The taping was there to promote the TBS show.  The comedy club was there to promote Conan.  I don't think that TBS had anything to do with it, but I could be wrong.  To me, it seems like it would make the most natural continuation of Conan presence at comic-con.  He may have even had that in mind last year when he started it.  Since by then he probably already knew the show was getting cut back to half an hour.

The comedy house was presented by TBS... I found the link in the old offsite thread, and it's still active. http://www.tbs.com/teamcocohouse

So it's likely any Conan presence this year will still be dictated/influenced by TBS.

My guess based off of zero info is no conan taping but he will have the comedy house and moderate some panels. It's too bad as we've made conan taping on wed a tradition last few years. Hopefully some more off sites open earlier this year to check out wed before preview night.

I'm glad they figured out a better process last year and didn't allow the crazy standby lineup. But wouldn't be surprised if the theater event doesn't return. It was really fun, but probably larger scale than they want to deal with anymore. It would be cool to bring back the comedy club event - I didn't get to check that out last year.

moderate some panels.

Like official SDCC panels or offsite panels?  I know most of the offsites with panels have stopped, but I honestly haven't been to the Conan offsite so I don't know what it has (besides the show taping).  If official SDCC panels, has he done it before?  Because if not, he'd be a great addition to the line up.  It'd be a bit different than being a show host where he's the center just as much as the guest is, but I think he could strike a balance.  He's been asking celebs questions for decades so I think he could do it.

I meant official. I've been to a few hall h panels that he was moderator for. He was great as to be expected. Think he also hosted that star trek screening and panel a couple years back.

coco house was both the highlight and lowlight of last year.  because i went to two different shows.  one was fantastic.  the other................

it was cool because a lot of them were after 5pm.  some even 11pm.  conan showed up to one of the shows i went to outside.  took a picture and autographed for anyone who wanted.  seemed like a good guy.

coco house was both the highlight and lowlight of last year.  because i went to two different shows.  one was fantastic.  the other................

it was cool because a lot of them were after 5pm.  some even 11pm.  conan showed up to one of the shows i went to outside.  took a picture and autographed for anyone who wanted.  seemed like a good guy.

What was wrong with the other, non-fantastic show?

i prefer not to call them out specifically.  they taped a podcast.  half the crowd left.  the other half took a nap.  felt bad for them.  the great one was a medley of comedians and the host was a great comedian as well.

I actually had more fun at the team coco house events, free drinks/snacks and entertainment was fun, quick 1 hour out of your day

On the other hand, the paid Conan writer's show I went to at the improv (I purchased a week before because I didn't know you could do standby for team coco) was quite...bad. It was on the 3rd floor of a deserted mall, drink/food minimum, and just went on for far too long. It was sooooo hot, no AC in that place. After a whole night, it also didn't really understand comic-con crowd, in fact made fun of them? I get it wasn't for comic-con goers per se, but it was a bad backup plan. I wish I didn't waste the time to walk all the way there, and stay out til midnight for it. Just seemed like a weird juxtaposition to pay for something that was in a worse venue, worse acts, and required minimums. Oh well, live and learn.

I'm so hoping Team Coco House returns.  We went to  his  comedy writers show - Conan showed up - did a 10-15 minute stand-up and then stayed to support his writers as they did their own stand-up. It was truly THE highlight of my Comic-Con last year.  As a caveat look at your tickets.  They have standby tickets and guaranteed admission tickets and it was just delineated by a small note on the side of the page.  I used an atomic clock and clicked as soon as sales opened. I thought I had guaranteed admission but had standby so I stood in the wrong line for about 2 hours so I could get the POP.  The house manager made sure I got in, and I even got a Funko pop thanks to some great people I met in line.  It was a really great experience for me - both the show and the kindness of the Comic-Con community.

When did Conan make it official he was coming last year? Have we already passed that mark for this year?

I was fortunate to see his show the first time he had it at the theatre. And I definitely want to watch it again. But my gut says he's not coming back.

IIRC he said he'll come back for the next year at the last taping of the 2017 show. Nothing else was said then he put out a video in June saying he'll be at con.

Just checked the 1itoa ticket buying schedule for the normal show.  Schedule shows normal Mon-Thurs dates for attending taping for July 15-18.  But the tickets are not available yet, so still time for them to change it.  Fingers crossed! We were at the Westin last time to SDCC and had to watch people coming and going to the shows everyday. Really wanted to sneak in for a chance at one of those Conan White Walker POPS! Hopefully he'll return this year!

IIRC they normally do a couple week hiatus on shooting before con as well to prepare so it doesn't look good right now. But like you said still time to change.

My email shows tickets for some of the Coco House events the second week in July, but I can’t recall when they actually announced their events. I bet it’s listed somewhere on the SDCC Unofficial Blog!

I think they announced the event officially at around the same time as tickets released. I remember small leaks from people in the shows saying around what day the tickets dropped a week or two before and someone on reddit found the website for it like a day or two before. I don't think SDCCU blog actually posted about it until tickets dropped because of a teamcoco tweet finally talking about it. It was pretty low key until everyone tweeted about minutes after they released it as I was able to get tickets to like 5 shows because barely anyone knew about until they actually released the tickets.

I hope he comes back, we enjoyed his show and the experience 2 years ago.  We missed out on Conan Bingo that one year and they didn't bring that back last year.  By the time I found out about the Comedy Club tickets, they were already sold out.  Feels like any offsite event tickets announced in the few weeks prior to the con sold out immediately.  Where would be the best place to follow leaks for ticket release dates, Conan on Twitter?

Please Coco house Conan.  Its great because a lot are at night so your dont lost exhibit hall time etc...  and it gives up and coming comics exposure etc.

Win-win Conan !  Do it we beg you.

Spreckels Theater seats approx 1450 people. The morning the lineup, which ends around 9, would have more people than that as it will include ticket holders and standby peeps. No Conan would probably increase the Hall H and Everything Else lines but by how much is unclear, since Conan is open to the public, not just con goers. Afternoon effect would probably be more spread out to various panels and exhibit floor.

Probably. On the other hand, if there are no Conan tapings, the Spreckels Theatre is pretty prime real estate, so some other attraction may take over and reabsorb the same number of people.

Most people that go to Conan have sdcc passes.  Would be interesting to see what percentage did not.  Would really have zero idea where all the people will go.  I think the effect on any singular line or event will be minimal.

Same here!  I would try and try to get Conan tix via the site; nothing, so I diverted my interest elsewhere:  Hall H!  I did set my DVR to record Conan, that week, and spoke with a few people who attended the show.  They said the show itself seemed a bit...rehearsed but they did enjoy the Pops.  I saw Conan at my hotel, that year, and wanted a photo with him but had to rush off in order to get in line at Hall H; I barely made it back in time to receive my coveted wristband for the next day!

Actually, they ended standby, between line management and people not getting their tickets one year it was a mess..  So they changed it so the winners got tickets and then seemed to do twitter contest or on the street contest to fill the theater.  so it's only the 1450 people.

And they oversold the tickets (which I guess is a common practice) and people who had tickets who showed up late didn't get in either.

Like I said people not getting their tickets  :P

But yes it's normal to give out more tickets in order to ensure the theater is full.  They did not anticipate the demand correctly and didn't read the signs of what was happening until it was too late.  They did a good job correcting for the future though, just in time to stop going to San Diego during SDCC.

Looking at his July schedule, unless reschedules his LA shows, fans are probably looking at two shows (Friday and Saturday instead of four.) Of course, he could add Sunday but I doubt it. Overall, I can’t wait to get more info soon.

Regardless, awesome that he is returning.

This is great news.  It's comic-con tradition for me to not be able to get Conan tickets. ;)

I'm surprised that Spreckels put it up so soon and before Conan officially announced what would happen this year.  He did say he would be here but didn't say in what form.  It's also not listed on the Spreckels website yet.  I didn't realize that Spreckels only has 1 event per month.  I thought more things happened there.

I've never been able to get into a Conan taping at comic-con, but I have been to a Conan taping.  The tapings are normally in the late afternoon.  It's not like a movie where you can show up 10 minutes before it starts.  You have to show up hours before it starts.  So even for a regular taping, it pretty much takes up the entire day.  At comic-con, you have to devote even more time since you have to show up in the morning to claim your ticket.

The Conan San Diego Comic-Con dates have quietly gone up on 1iota, the ticketing website that distributes tickets to the tapings. They’re not currently live – but they are “coming soon”. It’s likely all a sign of things to come soon. Very soon.

This, combined with the Spreckles Theatre billboard, confirm that Conan O’Brien will be doing his usual four tapings during San Diego Comic-Con at the Spreckles Theater, Wednesday, July 17 – Saturday, July 20. This is currently (subject to change) the schedule:

Wednesday, July 17 at 4:30PM
Thursday, July 18 at 4:30PM
Friday, July 19 at 4:30PM
Saturday, July 20 at 5:30PM

There’s no word yet on guests for this year’s event, but in the past, it’s included everyone from the cast of Suicide Squad to Game of Thrones.

I’ve struck out every year I tried (last three, IIRC) and I want to know EVERYTHING!

TIA

Got in the first two years. Did it immediately it went live I think one year it got bogged down a bit so it took like 20min to get through. Its all random so it doesn't really matter too much the time seen people get accepted and denied before and after my submission times. Make sure you opt in to 3rd party emails instead of opt out as they emailed a day ahead of time in the past of ticket availability with a special badge holder only code.

...I got in at Coco House and it was amazing.  Less time commitment and more fun than the taping.

I’m more excited for coco house than Conan itself tbh. I do not enjoy waiting in two sep lines (ticket pickup then entry) the pre show with the same jokes and the slow departure process. I love the taping itself though!

I've been to a few tapings and it was a cool experience, the pop you get is a great bonus as well. That said I'm not heartbroken the times I do not get tickets. ;)

I’ve tried every year and never got in, via iota. I get the email from CCI (I think it was from them) then sign up to request tickets. I noticed last couple years they gave away tickets on social media more.

They also had street teams giving away tickets around the gaslamp if you found them.

I am interested in the "bigger than ever" statement in the video.

This is how I scored, I honestly knew the landmarks which helped me find the giveaway points using the tag and following them on instagram. Honestly I was super lucky.

It will take a while for the button to show up when the servers are busy.  Just give it some time.  If you get an e-mail from 1iota, thats a good indication the option to edit is there now.

Yea, i think its been like this years before.  Although I think one year they did have a separate field for the code also.  This year I just put both in the same field.  For me, I had distinguished:

"Member ID: _______, Code:_______"

Thanks. I was trying to remember if it even mattered. Somewhere in the recess of my brain I thought there were a good number of folks last year who didn't enter the code and got tickets but my mind is mush so I cannot be trusted.

If you get selected for tickets, what's the time investment on this? I've been to other night talk show tapings and it was the show + another 2 hours or so of standing/waiting etc.

Is this similar? Trying to figure out if this is worth going to. Not a Funko fan, which is seemingly why most people go.

I have done both standby and gotten tickets before. Both require quite a bit of time invested. I didn't get tickets last year, so I decided not to do standby as it is not worth the wait. I have done standby before and people line up at like 2 or 3am, tickets aren't handed out until about 8am. It looks like this year, no standby really, just to call and ask. Previous years, even with tickets, people lined up early to get "better" seats. I'm not 100% sure if that is the case. But when I did, I got floor tickets a few rows back and was able to shake Conan's hand AND get his autograph from my seat. Other times, I ended up on balcony. Getting in line in the AM for tickets can take up a few hours. Coming back for the taping, it's usually another good 2-3hrs. Basically a good half-day affair. Not sure how the process will be this year.

Thanks for the insight! The tapings say 12:30. Is that potentially just the ticket pick-up?

No, if taping says 1230. They start at 1230 and you will want to get there like an 30min-hr or so before. You have to go through security check and all also. If you get there after, they can give your seat away and take standby people.

Happened to me as well. Though the one taping that I had received a confirmation for did stick. I just made new requests for the other dates. We'll see :(

ETA: I should note that this didn't happen to anyone else in my family.

So seeing as how some received confirmation emails already, is this really a lottery? Figured emails would go out in a single wave saying yay or nay on tickets. Seems to be a case of fastest fingers for a few and then lottery for the rest?

I just requested the same date again since I’m unsure what happened to the last request. I did delete 2 prior requests because

1. An edit button never showed up as promised after waiting and refreshing for 30 minutes. So no chance to enter promo code. Then,

2. The promo code fields are different between app, mobile, and desktop browsers. Some have two promo fields and some have 1.

So, although I'm not a Veronica Mars fan (guest stars on the Friday show), I do hope I get tickets because it's otherwise going to be a lot of fun attending this special taping.

The confirmation emails we received doesn't mean we have tickets, they're only telling you your request has been received and you have been placed in the waitlist.
The confirmation emails moving you from waitlist to accepted/selected will come tomorrow, that's it if you get selected. Also, once you have been selected you need to rush to the site to claim your tickets. You don't have tickets if you don't claim them through the acceptance confirmation email.

Hope this helps :)

Too add on to the other replies. The edit option will only show up when you get your waitlist confirmation via email (could be a little sooner.) It is confusing with the different fields and the instructions that don't quite match but I wouldn't stress much about that, just make certain you have both your cci member id and the code from the email.

Our waitlist confirmations are slowly trickling in, maybe 1/4 of them so far.

Half of my family has no waitlist email yet for any day. Who knows what is going on this year.

that's crazy, isn't the waitlist sign up still available? and how come I haven't gotten a confirmation email yet too (j/k)

Yes to the former. This is why I think this is less a lottery and more of a fastest fingers situation. A true lottery would put all submissions in a bucket and pull at random. The fact tickets are going out before the waitlist is closed is a point for "not a lottery".

Some people are saying they claimed tickets for multiple days already. Guess it's another year of striking out on Conan tickets...

Happened to me as well. Though the one taping that I had received a confirmation for did stick. I just made new requests for the other dates. We'll see :(

ETA: I should note that this didn't happen to anyone else in my family.

Ours did for both me and my mom. Had to request them again, we got confirmation shortly after so I hope they don't affect our chances.

I requested for all four days and never even received a waitlist confirmation e-mail. I know it is Comic Con and everyone is trying, but I always strike out even though I have my profile to Super Fan and input the code and my member ID.

So people who were stalking the site WITHOUT the code got tickets then? What's the point of even having a code. The years I got a ticket, I don't even think I put in the code. All the years I tried with the code, nothing

Not everyone stalks, some people do and then it gets out there on social media.  For example, the unofficial blog tweeted it out before the e-mail was sent out.  I think in the past people have requested when the tickets go live and then add the code afterwards by editing their original request.  That said, I dont think they distribute tickets on first come first serve, its been kind of all over the place, I am not sure how they pick the people.

Now for the important question, how long do the tapings usually last?

I tried searching but couldn't find the answer.

Congrats! I posted about my past taping experiences earlier. It's probably pushed a few pages back now. Long story short, like half a day. You pick up tickets in the AM to secure your tickets. Supposedly you get better tickets the earlier you get your tickets. I have gotten orchestra a few rows from stage and on balcony... so I'm not sure that theory works. Come back, check in, go through security, then filming. A good 2-3 hrs. You COULD pick up your tickets right before taping but if you don't get there in time, theres a chance your ticket will go to someone on standby instead. I have never risked that.

I've been stalking my request page/emails for a confirmation.. I logged in and even i went to edit to double check if i put everything right, there was a new spot to put in the promo code that wasn't there earlier. Then when i went on to my husband's request page, it told him "be patient! We are working on filing as many requests as possible. If we reach your position in the wait list, you will receive an snail with further instructions" ...so i don't know what this means for my fate, but I'd really like to go for my last sdcc outing  :'(

Preview night doesn't start until 6pm I think. You should be fine. The taping itself it fairly quick. It's the whole process that takes a while. I don't think lines for preview night are insane like other days. OR speed walk/run after the taping if you want to be in line haha

I've never gotten in, and so i go to request tickets and only see the waitlist. Does this mean all tickets are accounted for and I am only waitlisted in the event someone cancels?  I have not even received an email from CCI with the code...  i was always under the impression that it was a lottery... but i'm getting the impression it's is really first come first serve....

Everyone gets waitlisted when they sign up. If you can still sign up, there is a chance. They don't confirm that tickets are completely out until about a day before the taping unfortunately.

I can only say that there are people that only go for the funko and don't care much about the show or him. There was this guy last year had about 10 funkos he wanted signed and conan only signed a few. He was probably a collector and sells them on ebay really expensive.

On the other hand there are people who really love him and his show and don't care about getting that funko just want the experience of attending of his shows.

And of course there are people that love him, his show, and funko but wont sell it on ebay like the collector they just keep it.

So there's that   ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, I should've been more specific - on 1iota there appear to be profile strength levels, mine says I'm a "Super Fan"; I was just thinking about if that was standard for everyone, or if I'd somehow earned a high level or something to be classed as a "Super Fan"?

Did you put in a request for Wed/Thurs only? If you're also trying for Fri/Sat, then you might still have a chance. I haven't seen tweets of anyone getting the last two days. And I think in the past they only sent out emails during business hours. So they've probably stopped handing out tickets for today and will likely resume tomorrow.

Honestly, we'll ever know how someone gets selected or not. It's all so random. I've been selected 3/4 years and I've done everything I can to make sure my profile is 100% because I like to have some semblance of control over the selection process and prefer not the take chances. Updating your information takes no effort at all, so there's no reason not to do it.

My logic is that they could be using parts of your profile or not. If they're not, then no worries you're still in the pool with or without the info. But if they are, then it's better to have that info in there...just in case.

I got a Thursday ticket confirmation yesterday at 4:50pm so I can confirm they're giving out tickets really early this year.

I snagged some extra Coco House tickets (Ron Funches, Moses Storm, and Rory Scovel) I am hoping to trade for Conan Wednesday show tickets if anyone has any extras in their group. Delete or redirect if not allowed please.

Pretty sure both are non transferable, but even IF CocoHouse is, Conan is not.

People do get off the waitlist as the show approaches. I have heard of people getting Conan tickets the day before!

Worst comes to worst, if you really want to go, hang out near the theatre a couple of hours before the show. Last year they were just giving away the unclaimed tickets. Since there is officially no standby now, that’s how they do it.

and

"AT&T presents TEAM COCO HOUSE POWER HOUR: No ticket required"

Has anyone attended these before and know whats up?or how they work?

They normally send out an email to announce when your chances are dead. Here's an email from 2018, it was sent to me 2 days before the taping.

Quote
At this time, the demand for tickets to Conan on Wednesday, July 18, 2018 @ 4:00 PM exceeds our limited supply, which means we will NOT be able to accommodate your request.

Please Note: Some reserved ticket holders may cancel their tickets within the next 48 hours. If tickets do become available, you will be notified via email immediately.

If anyone has one extra ticket for Wednesday or Thursday please let me know. I would love to go! I've never been able to get ConanCon tickets from 1iota.

I'm also looking for someone who might have 1 or 2 extra tickets to the Friday show since Veronica Mars is my #1 favorite show.

 I don't really have anything to trade for though.

That listing looks like it's for the pop, not actually attending the event. It's weirdly phrased but it only seems that the confirmed is that they have Wednesday tickets and there's obviously a huge assumption (almost certainly correctly) that Wednesday will be Pennywise pop (since the cast of IT will be there that day).

Don't get me wrong, $250 for a pop is insane but there's nothing wrong in selling that as far as I can tell.

I randomly ran into a VM signing years ago in San Francisco.  I was just walking and there they were.  The entire cast.  Kristen Bell was standout.  She's a hard worker.  During the lulls the rest of the cast sat there waiting, Kristen did not.  She was getting up for selfies and working the people that were there.  In between she was an autograph signing machine working on a stack of photos.  She's either a great actor or genuinely super nice.  There wasn't a moment that she looked bored or over it.  She seemed happy to be there.

If anyone has two extra tickets for my wife and I, we would be much appreciative! Tried for the past 3 or so years and got nothing.

Don’t have tickets to exchange, but I can try to get any non-portal exclusives for you on Preview Night. I’ll pick up and pay and you can pay me back when I give them to you. Still, a long shot, I know..

PM if me if you’re interested.

For Trade;
I have 2 tickets for Triple Header Stand-Up Friday July 19th at 7:30pm and now have another event I have to attend at the same time.
Or, you can be my plus one for one of the other Team Coco events or the Poppy event/concert on Thursday. 

I'd love to get 1 or 2 (preferably :) Conan show ticket(s) in return, it really doesn't matter what day.

PM or email me if interested.

For those with extra Conan tix, if you don't find a trade that works for you I suggest either updating your # of tickets in 1iota (you can adjust down without losing your reservation) or offering the spot to someone here.
There are plenty of folks that want to go and either way opens it up for others. Even 1 helps.
Plus you do not chance getting dinged by 1iota for no shows (although I do not know what impact this has, it definitely lowered your 'score' in their system if you have no shows).

The "official" party line is to call the box office just before the show time to see if there are openings. I'm sure it's to keep the words of people who want to go from milling about.
Keep an eye on this board though as there are usually people who need a filler, sometimes at the last minute.

No one knows for sure if it has any affect but if you go into your 1iota account under history you should see something about a no show and your overall score should have taken a hit. Again though, we have no idea if it really matters for Conan.

I just asked the same on the scarediego thread.  I've concluded that is just standard 1iota language they have for every event.  Since some of it doesn't even apply here.  Since I've seen people with at least comic-con bags on the shows they tape at comic-con I'm going with at least comic-con bags being OK.

Thursday could also be His Dark Materials with Lin Manuel Miranda. Their panel is after the taping.
With the signings schedule released, it shows His Dark Materials autograph at 2:45–3:30 p.m. So I think this officially eliminates Lin Manual Miranda from the list of possibly Thursday guests.

Not necessarily, the taping is at 1:30 I believe so he’d definitely have time to make it down to the convention enter.

Maybe. But when the doors close at 130pm, then there's a bit of a pause while they fill all of the seats and get ready for about 10 minutes, then the band plays a few songs, the dance contest, some comedy warm-up which is all about 20 minutes. So I put Conan walking on stage around 200pm. Even if they were the first guest, that would be a huge challenge to get to the signing booth.

I'd love for it to be Lin, but I'm placing my bets elsewhere.

I agree...for a 1:30 taping, the show will probably be on from 2-3pm (cutting into the autograph time). My bet is on GOT or even the Russo Brothers

How strict are they with the bag policy? I saw on the ticket we can't bring backpacks.

Team Coco House process: (actual information from Thursday 2pm)
Worker walked the line with a scanner. Absolutely no concerns at all whose name was on the ticket
Next worker checked ID SOLELY for the purpose of placing an over 21 wristband or not. He did not ask to see the ticket, only the driver's license.
Upon entrance, we got .... nothing.
There were small 1 inch Team Coco buttons on the tables and lying around.

At the conclusion, an orderly exit of each section. You walk outside to the fenced in patio and 1 Pop for everyone!

The 345pm non-ticketed show received a Team Coco swag bag with a random pop (Woody and Iron Man were seen).

I thought it did since it's a bar but it doesn't.  They just won't serve you unless you show ID to get the alcohol wristband.  They had what looked like a 10 year old up on the stage during the first show.

[member=1]alyssa[/member], I think you were about 5 people in front of me in line.  Was that you?  Were you wearing a Black Spire hat?

Let me guess, you left early.  You missed the announcement at the end.

That swag bag was better than the other Conan events including the taping.  It had sunglasses and what people thought was a protein bar.  It's not a protein bar.  Read the label.  It's a USB battery charger.

Everyone got a pop in a swag bag.  Unlike the regular Conan events, they handed this out about half way through and not at the end.  Many people left after getting their swagbag since it wasn't really a show.  The show portion was only like 5 minutes.  It was basically a happy hour.  The people that left early got faked out.  At the very end, they announced that anyone with AT&T phone service would get the set of 4 pops.  Show them "AT&T" on your phone, they gave you a case of pops.

People have already caught on.  A lot of people walked up to us outside after a later show and said "I heard they gave out all 4 pops at the power hour."  I spent all day at Coco House today.  It got to the point that no one asked us for our tickets anymore.  They just waved us in.  I expect the power hour line to be massive in the next couple of days.  I expected it to be massive today.  I was shocked it wasn't.  It was short if anything.  We weren't going to go until we saw how short the line was.  It was shorter than where we were in the priority ticket line.

Supposedly they also changed it to first 50 for a pop. Also the schedule for today was all kinds of messed up. The website says Trivia is at 4:00 but it's at 3:30 and the Power Hour at 6:00 but it's at 5:30.

Also hearing lots of over promising and under delivering (Midnight Coco they said there would be exclusive swag and a Conan appearance that didn't happen).

What the difference a day makes.  Yesterday Coco house was chill, cool, relaxed and fun.  Today, in the words of someone behind me in the pop fish in a barrel mob, it was a "poopshow".  She didn't say poop.  The lines were massive.  There was a lot of line cutting.  They moved the line from one side of the building to the other side to across the street.  As with any unsupervised line move, people took that opportunity to line cut.  After the move we were at least twice as far back as we were before the move.  At power hour today, only the first people got the swag bag.  AT&T phone holders only got one pop.  Instead of handing them out on exit as normal, the caused a mass mob into the little submerged area.  Yesterday they barely looked at your phone.  Today they scrutinized it like a tech.  More than a few people got sent away for trying to cheat using screenshots of other people's phones.

The worst part is that I didn't even get a chance to get a drink.  I barely got a plate of food.  Then the pop mob started and I moved to the back to eat.  I got in line and a couple of minutes later they said the bar was closed and to leave.

Yesterday everyone was chill and having a good time.  Today it was drudgery.  Not many smiles from attendees or staff.

Funko Pops (mostly their resellers) have the unfortunate effect of ruining a good thing. My wife was early in line early for Power Hour and also said the line cutters were terrible.  Team Coco staff weren't helpful in maintaining order, and she even overheard "Its Comic-con...people cut".

She luckily got in...gave the first bartender a fiver tip, and never had an empty glass though.

I heard her say the same.  Team Coco wasn't just not helpful, they were absent.  Which is completely the opposite of yesterday.  Yesterday they walked up and down the line making sure everyone was in the right line and answered questions.  Today, few were to be found.  They were only close to the front door and they only offered words of wisdom like "It's comic-con... people cut."  It's like they gave up and decided to hunker down in the safety of the bar.  Even inside the bar, they were completely different.  It's like invasion of the body snatchers.  People that were smiling, inviting and friendly yesterday were like guards tonight.  Yesterday, they told people that everyone would get pops but let's be cool about it.  Just like in school, they would dismiss us in sections so that it would be orderly.  It worked.  Everyone cooperated.  There was no rushing and pushing.  Tonight, the same guy said everyone go at the same time.  He did ask us to form an orderly line.  That didn't work.  It was a mob scene.  Especially since they gave pops out in an area down some steps with only those single set of steps to get in and out.  I don't know how that made any sense.  Also, because people just were in a mob, I'm sure some tried to double dip.

I know there is good reason for their change in attitude.  As I said, just in the few minutes where I had a view of the handout process, I saw 3 people get rejected.  I guess they were using a screenshot to pretend they had AT&T service or were trying to use someone else's phone and couldn't unlock it.  They made sure to lock my phone and asked me to unlock it.  The whole process wasn't very friendly.  It was like a TSA security check.

My experiences were not as expected! Went as standby yesterday to the 730pm Triple header show. Saw SOME people leaving the 6pm power hour with one pop, some w a goodie bag. Im not sure how they were handing them out. A guy leaving said "everyone gets one" but many leaving had empty hands so I am guessing that guy was lucky. For the 730pm Triple Header show only the first 50 got pops... so dont bother with standby if you are trying for a pop. First 50 will be all ticketed. My friend had a ticket and no pop as she wasnt in the first 50. Regardless, I wanted to check out a show as I have never been, pop or not. The 3 comedians for very funny and it was a nice break and an hour of nonstop laughter. Went back for the Midnight @Cocos as we had no idea what it was... thought it was some raunchy late night comedy... Waited 1.5 hours as it was standby only. Let me say, what a total waste of time and complete let down. It was not a show, just late night bar time!! Most people waiting another 20-30 min and left. There was no show, it was literally a restaurant bar open until 2am. Zero swag, zero idea of what was going on. I wish they described things better. Only people who stayed were the drinkers. We took off and made it to catch the verg last shuttle back to hotel.

Seems like Thursday ruined it for everyone else. Also seems the experiemce is different from previous years as well.

Did the Rory Scoval set. Got there 2.5 hours early, they checked people in about 1.5 hours early. During this time, we went from 30-32 to 51-53 in line. Because they checked people in early, you had people show up who didn't even have tickets but had friends in line and since the 21+ wrist band is just one color, you blend in easily if you got in at some earlier point. So that was more than a little infuriating. However, the show itself was fantastic. There was an opener then Conan himself came up for a 15 minute set followed by Rory Scoval doing an hour of improv including calling in a limo driver off the street, having members of the crowd try and catch cheetos in their mouth, discussing the virtues of high outlets on walls and calling three randos waiting in the standby line inside. The talent was great but it felt like there was a huge drop off in feeling the second year.

(I did not visit it on Thursday where it seems like the vibe was much better)

By Saturday the line was crazy. The ticket line and standby lines had flip flopped in size since they started giving only 50 Conan Pop!s away starting Friday. Before then, the standby line for the 2pm Friday show was a crazy length and by Saturday the standby line was only being used for the 6pm (no ticket) event so they could get a Pop and try to scheme for the additional ones for having AT&T.

I agree with the previous post that people were sneaking in before doors opened but at least on Saturday they had a security person that kept the line orderly and asked us a couple times to report line cutting. Unfortunately a new scheme popped up that allowed people to go to the front right before doors opening (I won't go into details to avoid more people scamming the system). I heard people openly brag about how they were able to get in back-to-back shows using the strategy.

We only had tickets to the 4:30 show on Saturday but were able to do standby for a couple shows Thursday. For Saturday, we lined up at 11:30 and wound up being about #40 through the door (were around 25 before the front of line cutters used their strategy). You could tell the workers were sick of the constant Pop! questions by Saturday.

Post by: NCDS on July 24, 2019, 07:07:38 AM
There really was no reason not to give away pops to everyone.  I heard stories of the pallets and employees filling their cars with them.  Clearly, they have enough.  Just the usual greed getting in the way.  We see it with Target workers, GameStop workers, AT&T workers etc.   


This is why I have my vow to not buy off ebay.  If can't get it the legit way, I don't need it.

Oh there was definitely a way to either get in early or stay in between shows.  At the end of one of the shows, a Team Coco person said that we didn't have to leave since we were coming back for the next show.  We said we did to get our pop.  As I said earlier, they really didn't check our tickets after the first time.  They just remembered us and waved us in.  We did have tickets but how would they have known if we didn't?  There was one person that was at every show I was at.  Even when I walked by on Saturday when I didn't try to get in a show, I saw her standing there next to the security guard in between shows.  Which made me think that somehow she is associated with the show.  Yet all I really saw her do was go around and try to buy pops off of people for her "niece".  She asked me a few times even though I told her no repeatedly.

This is why I have my vow to not buy off ebay.  If can't get it the legit way, I don't need it.

I think they were trying to control the madness outside by limiting the number of pops being given away.  So once the word got out that only the first 50 would get pops that people would stop getting into standby since there's no way they would get one.  If that was the strategy they defeated it by giving pops to everyone again later on.  Since no one knows when Team Coco will do 50 or everyone, why not try to get into every show?

There are way more pops than I think that people think.  That aren't that rare.  I think since it was originally only given away to people at a taping, that people think that's all there is.  It doesn't make sense to make so few since the bulk of the cost is spinning up a line, once it's set up each one made after that doesn't cost that much.  Not that making a pop cost much to make to begin with.

There was another way to get not just a Conan pop but the Team Coco swag bag that had the pop in it.  It was one of the swag options for giving blood at the blood drive.

At the end of the show, I would see people holding their pops up to the show sign and taking a picture.  I thought that was to immortalize the event.  Silly me.  Those pictures are all over ads on CL for Conan pops.  It's proof that it's a legit pop for sellers.

I agree. I got a Conan as Jon Snow as well. Traded for it. I had Conan as Woody, but seeing as I go by Jon. I had to trade it. Luckily for me, I traded it with my lady friend.  She wasn’t about to say no haha. So I got two this year. Which I’m ecstatic about. Most years I can’t even get one.
