Haha! I was just looking at the off topic funko thread and wanted to post about Fundays but refrained! Last year they released tickets in May, so at least that looks like it's the next thing on the SDCC list!

Mark, it looks like after last year, you are a Funko Fundays convert!
I shouldn't have posted the corn, tasting it all over again. Burps for days ...

Am I really weird in thinking that it would go down easier if it was creamed corn? Would still be really disgusting though.
I’ve never been but have heard so many great things. But really hoping to go this year maybe I get lucky!! Someone want to take me as their plus one???I would if you do the same for me.

With no post I am not sure if the forum will get presale anymore. Historically you had to be on the board 1 year and have 100 posts.
It's been flooded lately though so I wonder if they are going a different way.
I cannot handle another year of refreshing for 4 hours, they should be ashamed of doing that.
No kidding, I just remember some pickle meme or something. Argh
A significant part of my good memories are not even from the event, but rather dressing up in 80's gear and hanging out with you and the rest of the FoCC crew in line :)
Last year's Fundays was especially awesome! I loved the prom theme, and how many people dressed up for it! And Racheva and NCDS did not see me dancing all night, because I was behind them. ;)

Who would be interested in some quick details?
When? July 19
How much? $140/ticket
Will a group of Funatics have a chance to purchase tickets before the general sale? Yes
Funko is being very generous in setting aside a subset of tickets for engaged Funatics. More information to come very, very soon!
I always thought this event was always for the privileged...Funko Fanatic Forum Members or People with Fiber optics internet.
Never bother trying really.

My understanding is you need to be a member for a certain length of time and a large number of post in the their forum.
Is that not true?
It is, but a year and 100 posts can pretty much be done in your sleep. It's not that the people are privileged, it's that they want to be there.
But like any other forum you really only benefit from being around and participating. That is true of this forum. Anyone can join and read the information but your life is enriched by sticking around and talking to people. The more you get to know people the more they want to help you out and vice versa.
As for the first come first serve public sale that is just how anything for con is. You have to be fast or it sells out.
To be fair, the year and 100 posts is just the basic requirement.
Last year people with less than ~500 posts didn't get offered a ticket sadly. (me included) :'(
My friend had under 400 and got tickets. But yes I think they then take an average of all posts to determine who will get tickets. This makes sense because they are looking for those who are active on the forum and not someone who created an account to just get tickets every year. 100% not saying that is what you did, but we both know a lot did. I do realize that their method will still exclude some, unfortunately, that can't be prevented. It is a fair way to distribute the tickets though.
how do the general sales process usually go?
So, new guy here trying to get in, what should I do? for this year try the 20 second general sale and join the forum, get 500 posts to get a chance to get direct tickets for next year?
Well your only option this year is general sale. And 2020 as well. If it is like previous years you would need to have registered for an account this year in 2019 before May 1st. Because no matter how many posts you plan to make you will still not have a star by May 2020.
So if you go by this year and previous year's criteria you won't be eligible until 2021. And that is just to be eligible for the lottery. Just because you meet criteria to enter does not mean you will get tickets either.
Like I mentioned before jump through hoops or compete with resellers.
I just base my two cents on availability and comparing them to Lego. I believe they still base their business model on artificial availability and hype. Again that is just my opinion.
Sounds like the funatic community isn't the place for you and that's fine. Just remember to be respectful of those who have found it to be a great place to be. If we were all into all the same things life would probably always just be overcrowded and exhausting. Dare I say even boring.

I almost missed the cut off for Fundays on the forum because I didn't check the forum all weekend. Oops :P Got in with 90 minutes to spare.
Glad you made it in?
I don't think I will get chosen, I only have a little over 300 posts, but I would have felt like the dumbest person in the world if I missed it.

I almost missed the cut off for Fundays on the forum because I didn't check the forum all weekend. Oops :P Got in with 90 minutes to spare.I will say that the post had 5/7 instead of 5/6 (today), which was updated sometime during the weekend. I even have proof it was 5/7. Oh well...
Respectfully I would like to comment on this if you don't mind.
1) not sure what you mean about artificial availability. i find the funko website similar to the "requirements" here declared or not in terms of sdcc hotel sharing. its not the perfect way of addressing people who come here or there only when sdcc hotels or fundays comes around. but it's better than nothing.
2) what business model are you referring to ? in my opinion (and yeah it's just mine). if funko wanted to have a "better" business model aimed at attracting new customers they wouldn't do it this way. for a lot of us we feel like they are trying to take care of their core fan base and it is more than appreciated by most of us. the problem comes down to entitlement over there, and here to be honest.
oh i have been here for x number of years with x number of posts. i "deserve" something. if anything it's this population of people that would make me want to stop doing it. because it's something (here and there) they do to try to take care of people who contribute to the community and then they get crapped on. i really see a lot of similarities between the fundays situation over there and the hotel help situation on this forum.

Just like I say this is one man's opinion...and also trying to get first timers to understand that it is not that easy to get into this event and plan accordingly.
I hope that the calculation is a bit more systematic. I mean, someone creating an account, say five years with a count of 500 from five years ago and no recent activity seems to have a better chance of getting picked than someone new with recent activity of 100 count, that is trying to get to know people and be active.
Thank you to those who have shared their waitlist stories I am glad that there is hope when you don’t buy tickets. I have been one of the few who have gotten tickets into the cart but have not been able to check out in time before they sold out. Waitlisted and haven’t gotten in. Just my luck but praying I get a chance to get tickets this year

Lol I can assure you that you are not one of the few but one of the many who've made it to the cart only to have them sold out. I'm in the same boat hoping for an email for presale this year or worst case try for general sale when that opens up and hopefully luck out.Thanks and I hope you and I end up with tickets!! Just throwing it out there, want to be my plus one if I get tickets and you can do the same for me?

Works for me, think we need as much help/luck as we can get lolLol great! Yeah definitely hoping for more luck. Just followed you so that I can contact you directly when that happens.
Is this fun even for someone not into Funkos?
Can't the same be said about Comic-Con itself? You need to register for a member ID by a specific time, jump through hoops in order to make sure you know the rules (and to get a better chance, jump through even more hoops to join a buying group and figure out how they work), and people who went the previous year get an extra privilege.
There’s no special privilege if you went last year. If you were a board member yeah. But not if you went last year.
Didn't say there was. My point was that like SDCC, it favors people who have been around for longer and gotten to know the ins and outs of getting in.Apologies my misunderstanding I didn’t get what part of what you say was referencing what.

Really hoping we hear an official statement from Funko tomorrow or Monday about the general sale date.
As I'm sure most of you are also gainfully employed, the more advance notice I have to block out a big chunk of time, the better!

Glad you made it! I unfortunately did not make the deadline so I already know general sale is going to be horrible :(Same here. But let’s hope that majority of us fans get to go this year!!

Sorry to burst your bubble but that's last year's post. Wait till funko members start getting there emails then they should announce general soon after.
Haha thanks for the heads up. Whew!
I actually got that link from my friend who is a Funko fanatic. She’s now very embarrassed. :-)
Early access emails will be sent out tomorrow per the Funatic forum. Good luck everyone.
yes good luck everyone tomorrow, i will be checking my email every 5 minutes LOL ;)
I've been a member of the Fanatics board for 2 years now, but haven't hit the 100 post requirement=( Last year was my first time going because I made if off the waitlist from the general sale. Hopefully I can get in again with general.
The wait for the Funco email seems almost as brutal as the OnPeak email for hotels.
Not nearly as brutal as the wait for Funko to send out the Tweet link for the general sale. I felt like I lost months off my life from the stress -_-
I remember that! Waitlist was just one ticket, correct?
Anyone can explain to me what happened yesterday? lol, sorry to bother but got so much work right now, saw a twitt about a sale and thought I missed, but now I read something about a general sale?
Thanks for your help!
i got in last yr off the waitlist,like the monday before, so there is always hope, and it was worth it
I know someone that got in with 4 stars and 750ish posts. Glad to be able to go again. Always a fun time last year I sat next to the golden hopper table. So close yet so far!

Funko is the only company that really looks out for us funatics, like [member=1062]squidward[/member] said.
yeah it was funny, i just went over to say hi to Cameron. and he asked do you mind if i interviewed you. i was so nervous! LOL ;)
2 stars here and 1600 posts.. can't wait!
[member=2397]TheNeck[/member] just so happened to watch last years preshow again and saw that you got interviewed! haha
I mean, I spend plenty of time each year posting to Twitter, FoCC, and the Robot Japan forum.
I guess I need to spend more time posting on the Funko forums, as well, if I want to significantly increase my chances of attending Fundays (via the pre-sale). Only a few posts each day, for the next year -- that's not too hard, is it? :)

A quick heads up, if your going to Fundays keep your car parked where it is unless your Hotel is closer to the MGH as they charge $100.00 for guest parking. Just a heads up.
Anyone remember what time it went live last year? I was at work and I tried but that code word threw me off. Hoping this time I get tickets since I took the day off. Looking to score 2 tickets as well.

I can tell you exactly when: it was at 1:01pm Pacific Time last year, which was 3 hours and 1 minute into the 4-hour window.
With this year’s window “only” being 3 hours, it appears Funko has chosen to be a bit more merciful :)
I could have sworn it was the end of the 4 hour window.
Time flies when you're having fun! ;D
Your definition of fun and mine are very different!

do you need an account to get a funko general sale ticket?
Yes, you must have an Eventbrite account.
[member=4905]mattytreks[/member] I see you all over twitter too helping out, best of luck next week sir!
How do those of you with jobby jobs handle this? Refresh inccessently for 3 hours??
And make sure your EB account has payment details in it already, so you don't need to add it during the general sale. Saves precious seconds.Really not necessary, because you will have 15 minutes to complete your purchase after getting lucky. Tickets are on hold for that amount of time unless things have changed. So far, it hasn’t.

On that note, what are your thoughts on the Tiki theme? Do you think that will translate into Tiki-themed Freddy's, or just be the theme of the decor/drinks/entertainment? I am certainly intrigued by it! I can totally see hula hoop contests, fire-dancing, hula dancing, etc.
For those that were lucky enough to get from the Funatics board, do you remember if you were able to change the attendee name from the buyer? (ex. using parents cc info but having son/daughter attend?)

It's been a couple of years since I'm gone for Funko tickets (and I've never actually succeeded in the years that I've tried), so apologies in advance for this ELI5 question:Additional charge sep ticket
Does every ticket come with a +1, or is that a separate ticket (and thus an additional charge) that one can purchase?
You cannot change them. The name on the ticket must match the name of the attendee per their rules. Also I find it a little odd that a twitter account with a similar name to yours is doing some suspect fake eventbrite setups.

Hey [member=4657]nootheroptions[/member] that is mine and those are just test events that I use to practice. I’m not sure how they were found though bc I don’t have followers and this account is solely used for me to practice. If the images are inappropriate bc of the likeliness, I will change that moving forward. Again, I’m being fully honest bc I’m not trying to screw anybody over, all I’m doing is trying to practice for tmro with as much detail as is think there would be tmro.
Why did you photoshop the poster? That looked super sketchy. You are clearly setting up scripts. It’s not hard to spot. As far as billing goes I don’t know I believe the billing needs to match the acct.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I really don’t know how to do scripts lol, I wish I knew just for my own benefit but I really have no idea. The picture was just bc I really didn’t think anyone was going to see it. If I’m good at anything, it’s photoshop so don’t mind my personal reasons of trying to do something I’m good at to make me feel better lol. Anything beyond that, there is no reason. I’ll go ahead and take that off for any future testing I do.
With that said, and related to scripts, was I really close? Lol, I really don’t have any idea but I thought scripts is more related to coding.
And thanks, I won’t try to deal with another account. Hoping to just get two then instead of just going for one
For those that won the lottery to get tickets, did you purchase them through eventbrite as well?
Was the password case sensitive?
Anyone else super nervous this morning? Been trying for years and have yet to go. Fingers crossed this is the year! Good luck to all!yeah, i'm pretty anxious this morning.
hey guys one question, eventbrite wont let me add CC info before the event, (I have never bought a ticket on eventbrite) but testing on other events, when I click buy, it says it protects my ticket for 10 min so I can enter my info without a rush, fundays works this way too? If I get in on time, click buy and get in, will it protect my ticket or do I have to speed type everything?
thanks!
Anyone knows something about the question I posted earlier?
Why did you photoshop the poster? That looked super sketchy. You are clearly setting up scripts. It’s not hard to spot.
That's a lot of paranoia for a simple billing question. ???
Is there a limit to how many tickets you want to buy? We wanted to get 3 if we can get any at all.

I am on this board for SDCC, not Funko, so to the uninitiated me, it looks like a legitimate site. If you hadn't said it wasn't I wouldn't have known.
I really hope that ppl don't try and run scripts and bots later today. Not to imply thats what the intention was behind that test page, but it does seem sketchy for sure.

Regarding those questions with changing names, etc - it just opens one up to questioning. I know with sneakers, ppl buy "slots" and can pay someone to buy something limited. Not saying that this is what's happening here, but all it leads to is more questions with the changing of the name thing.
Glad to hear that Funko is very strict with checking names, CC info on the tickets.
In any case, good luck to everyone trying today!
I dont get the scripts and bots thing how does that even works with a password and merely seconds to get in? isnt this sale almost bulletproof against those? password, cc check, id check...
Mondo poster drops, for example, are fraught with bots because they don’t password-protect.
I applaud Funko, however, by introducing password protection. It virtually necessitates the human element.
To try and write a bot/script to perform that type of precise operation increases the difficulty significantly – to the extent that I doubt any will even be effective, if attempted.
right, thats the hope!Didn't have my ID checked at either Fundays I went to.....Not saying they don't, just they didn't to me.
if Funko wasn't strict with checking tickets to names then forget it, no one would be getting tickets to the event today. scalpers would have everything for sale on eBay.
Didn't have my ID checked at either Fundays I went to.....Not saying they don't, just they didn't to me.
I must look shifty lol. They verified my ID and asked to see my CC.
there were plenty of shady people who got through with no hassle. it's random. they just can't check everyone due to time constraints. i wish they did it during the hours in line and put a bracelet on those verified. that would be so easy to do.
That would be a great solution!
It would also stop the ticket takers from being distracted as much. I heard that last year someone stole some of the bags of fun while they were checking IDs.
For real? Ugh! That is so gross! The thieving is strong there!

Anyone else take the day off?
I have failed every year but still I persist. One day I'll get lucky.
Just have to remember to actually read the password before clicking on the link and then realizing that I needed the password.
One year, didn't someone try and take the actual Freddy Funko statue they had set up on display?Not try, DID!! It was awful. We even told them and they shrugged their shoulders. I would much rather them raffle them off or give them to big collectors or something.
Does your +1 need to be named at time of purchase?

Holy s#!t... I got tickets. I can't believe it... I'm so so so excited!
Yay congrats! Me too, I can't believe it. Reading all the 1 second delays makes me feel super lucky. I'm still in...slow shock.
I clicked the link soon as it went live. Entered the password, it then asked how many tickets I wanted. I clicked 2 and then it redirected me to the waitlist page=(
I keep seeing people on Twitter saying the password was leaked early. Did anyone see it or know if that's true?
Does anyone know if their are payment failures, will they go to people on waitlist, or give people a chance to resubmit with another form of payment?
They said the same thing last year. Not true. You are competing against hundreds of thousands of other browsers, refresh rates, and server distance (on top of auto-scripts).
Per Funko last year, they decide on the password right before they tweet the link. Not decided days/weeks before.

On the fanatic forum it looks like 2 members saw the link ahead of time with the code, but they are not providing their source yet so until they provide it, you can't really say info was leaked. But I think they were saying it was a few minutes before funko tweeted the link out.
Now when you click on the funko link for eventbrite you don't even need to put in the code to be added to the waitlist either.
Looking at the twitter comments someone posted that @dis.pops knew when the code was gonna go up. I took screenshots of that person's post and I was gonna attach them on here but I don't know how to scratch out the persons twitter name that put the source up.
Dis.Pops posted a screenshot of his tickets before the password had even been tweeted out. There's also posts from Twitter Bots showing the "success" they had botting tickets.
Do you gave those screenshots that you can pm me?

Man, that stuff is infuriating. It's hard enough getting in as it is, and things like this just make it impossible.
All i can is start taking screenshots and complain to FUNKO, maybe more people will then get off the waitlist!
I think it's just a matter of time before they change completely to a lottery, one for funatics, one general... something like SDCC badges
I mean if there’s documented proof of bots and such, only a lottery can prevent that stuff
Congrats to everyone who got in! I struck out so I will have to find something else to do on Friday night. But it's SDCC so I'm sure there will be something good... ;)
Wow sucks to be you! I am going. I have a really hot plus one also who offered to wear matching outfits.

I had the link like 20min after the ticket sale started. Funko slowly updated the page adding the graphics, etc. Around 2:49pm the PW prompt showed up. Regardless, I still didn't get any tickets. The PW hung up for a bit after I submitted, when I added to cart it also hung up and then just kicked me out to wait list.
get a roomOK this made me laugh out loud. Well done, sir.
how did you have the link before they tweeted it out? having that gave you a slight advantage over everyone else, despite you not getting.

He said *after* the ticket sale started – not before.
It's all over Twitter but not gonna argue about it.It’s called fake success. It’s fairly common. Sneaker groups do it all the time. It’s to boost their membership numbers. Funko garage has already been caught lying before. Funko Dojo only knew when the eventbrite page changed because they were tipped off. That’s an advantage but no one had the PW early. Even if you had it IMMEDIATELY after the PW prompt uploaded you had less than 30 seconds advantage.

True, but it still stinks that you won’t be going this year.
... so forum count. Do posts in "Off-topic" not count? Since the posts expire?
I had phone notifications on, and didn't see it till 3 mins later because I playing in an event.
I had a choice on whether to spend 3 hours looking at a screen and refreshing all the time, and I decided it was not worth it. I also thought it was really annoying of funko to post non stop during that window.
Here? Or where? Funko no off topic does not count. I believe some forums here posts don’t count either.

really? so where do I have to post on the funko forum? Not worried about here since I post in many places, but the funko foroum is stacked with posts, dont even know where to start lol
I don't know, I am not going to miss her at all. >:D
get a room
That’s because I will haunt you like a demented Caspar. ;D
If you are haunting me don't you have to be dead? Or is this Scooby Do style? If it is I demand it come with snacks.

What if it comes with a Venti Chai Latte, non fat, no water, no foam?
As for me, I may already be dead. I haven’t checked my pulse recently....
Phone alerts are too slow. The twitter app has a roughly 6-7 second delay after being live. By then it was too late. Funko did it much worse last year they kept trolling.

Well then, haunt away!!!!
I rarely check my pulse. I am scared of what I might find out.
For the record, is anyone able to confirm nor deny that inputting “family” in lowercase (versus uppercase) actually worked for the general sale's password yesterday?Confirm lower case works

He said *after* the ticket sale started – not before.
If you want a good seat, then plan on getting there about 3 hours before hand. If you are fine sitting wherever get there about an hour early, that gives you time to get food and do any pre-show games they may have. Then I want to say it lasts till 11ish.
It’s definitely not over by 9:45pm. The event lasts until 11pm – then people linger around until past Mignight :)I agree. I would estimate the event to finish around 1115pm-1130pm.
Just a little memory of how brutal it used to be at Funko Fundays! I had it in my hands and some jerk ripped it away from me, this is all I have left from my Wacky Wobbler. It was Savage! 2 POPS landed near me and I grabbed one and let someone else grab the other. The other person told me to give him both and tried to rip it from my hands. I was like nope. The box is somewhat damaged on my old school Freddy The Hulk. I'm so glad they don't do that any more.
Is anyone dressing up?(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190603/d410d032615a5983203a7f6c5cb3e1bd.jpg)

After careful consideration, we've settled on our list of finalists for the #NextFunkoPopContest. We will announce the winner at this year's Funko Fundays! #FunkoFundays
I am soooooooo looking forward to this!me too, i can't wait!
Anyone hear about getting off the waitlist? Should I stop checking my email hourly?? :'(
My brother and I were both fortunate enough to get tickets to Fundays this year. Unfortunately due to some unforeseen scheduling conflicts our plus 1's can no longer attend Fundays. However, our plus ones are still willing to pay for their tickets as long as they get their box of fun. Therefore, we are willing to give our two +1's to somebody else for free (since you are a plus one you will need to enter the event with me and my brother) .
Even though we will need to take the Box of Fun for our friends, you will still get the appetizers, the drink tickets and any prizes you win at the event (in the past few years reports are EVERYBODY got atleast 1 giveaway item outside of their box of fun). Once again, you will NOT need to pay for the ticket.
If you are interested please message me. In the message tell me a little about yourself and your Funko collecting. We'd prefer to take dedicated collectors. You can send photos of your collection if you'd like. Also we will need your contact info eventually so we can coordinate meeting so we can enter the event together.
i went two years ago and got 3 other items i think,
a proto
a large pop
a normal pop maybe 2

I'm assuming when they say they want "their box of fun" they mean all the items given away, not just the box.
Seems fishy to me. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

That’s because it is.

I guess at the end of the day it's not a "scam" per say and it's clear what their terms are. Anyone that just wants into the party is able to this way.
The downside is it promotes the obvious behavior of ticket(And Funko?) hoarding though. I'm not a Funko collector, so don't have a horse in this race. I think people should be aware of what could be going on here though.

But, i am not a collector, i do not want the funko's, etc. I have been offered to keep one- and i might if it speaks to me - not for resale but because i want to remember the night.

I guess to each their own, but I see it as profiteering off of the event.
Since without someone he can't use the ticket, but with someone he gets $400+ in profit. Yes the person gets something out of it, but wouldn't the same be for a hotel room?
Ex: I have hotel A and you can have the room for free, just give me all the liquor in the minibar. (A stupid example I know, but it's the same concept of only wanting it for something that is desirable.)

I don’t have a dog in this but playing devils advocate, when you have an account on the forum for a few years and that’s literally your only post, you have to understand where people can get skeptical. Especially after we all failed to get into Saw Con.

My son got off the waitlist on the 28th in 2017 which was 24 days till the event. So I’m feeling like people should’ve been hearing by this point.
FWIW I got off the waitlist exactly a week before SDCC last year...
My wife got a ticket from the waitlist on July 13th last year, so you never know. Of course, last year I was lucky enough to get tickets at the on-sale, and this year we both got shut out. I'm expecting nothing but hoping for the best. I just try not to think about it so I don't spiral into a deep well of sadness and loss.Crossing fingers and toes for you guys!!!
When you got the email (or was it an Eventbrite alert?) that you made it off the waitlist, how long did you have to purchase?
Does anybody know about the password leak? Some twitter guys were named and such....
Fake success. The PW didn’t leak and even if it did it wouldn’t have mattered as the PW splash page went up seconds before it was tweeted.Thanks,

I told her about how some people had to dig through their filters and she checked during the con. Turns out she DID get off the waitlist. She just never saw the e-mail.
OMG!!! I just got a call from a friend to be his plus 1 for the Funko Fundays!! I'm pinching myself because I still cant believe it
That's awesome!!! Congratulations. It's so much fun.

Hmmmm.. looks like the Funko Funday Pops are tanking on ebay..guess it will be hard for scalper to shell out the price of tickets for next year.Funkos might be tanking due to their own mob mentality. The collectible for the masses is now a collectible for a few.

Not sure what your definition of tanking is. But one freddy pop covers the price of a ticket. Instead of a ridiculous amount of profit they are just making a lot of profit.
That being said I hope the prices do go down. Good for me and people who collect versus sell.
I seeing on the bay that its like 100 bucks for the whole unopened pack..or like 30 each.. wasn't tickets 150 this year to get in?
You might be seeing the online box of fun ?
At the event you got three pops in the box of fun. Most got two freddys. Those are currently selling from 200-500 each. And then a proto. And then the golden freddy at the end.
Actually never mind. The stuff you get there is garbage. No need to go if you are a scalper.
;) ;)
Nope hate scalper.. looking at ebay because need to know how much the stuff i bought from SDCC are worth and see if its worth it for me to buy a protective case for them...mostly funkos are for sale... when i type "SDCC" on search bar.
Hopefully we get tickets and can nerd out together!
