Yeah. Maybe I'm wrong/naive, but I really feel like if CCI had tried harder to prohibit the next-day lines at the beginning they would have had a CHANCE at keeping control. Like, that first year the 'unofficial' Saturday line formed Thursday, CCI should have just had security disperse it, over, and over, and over again. It's true that plaza is a public space and CCI can't stop you from standing there... but their TOS reserves the right to revoke your badge at any time, so they could have yanked badges if it came to that. (Or even yanked badges and let you go pick them back up the next day at Badge Services if they wanted to be nice. And as for the 'public space' thing, so is Harbor Drive... but the city seems pretty ok with letting CCI control that space for the duration of Con.)It would have sucked. They would have probably had to bring in more security and they would have had to be willing to be hardasses about it. But they MIGHT have been able to establish a culture/norms that didn't involve 3 day lines, mobs, trampling, rampant line cutting, etc. They didn't, and what they have now is barely controlled chaos. At this point I'm pretty sure they have no idea how to fix it.
In 2019 I was in a group from FOCC discord channel, We were close to the front of the line and god like second row from stage. it did get kinda crowded when everyone started to show up about 8 to get the wrist bands. other then that is was pretty decent.. I cant remember though if it was 2019 or 2018 that someone was selling fake wristbands that screwed up the line. I do remember that the people that didnt get inside got free badges for the next year
First rule of line club is you don't talk about start times.
How do you guys even know when you want to go to Hall H? I'll need to know something of the programming first.
