Definitely discuss times with your group and not here.  As soon as you mention a time, everyone tries to beat that time.  I would edit that time out [member=3233]Katamari13[/member]

I'm not getting a confirmation email from this linegroup website to register my account. Has anyone else had any issues?

Experiencing the same. No confirmation email sent when I register.

How do the line wait groups work? I signed up for the “app” and see shifts available that I can join.

I understand the line wait groups for first panels/NDL, but don’t understand the line wait groups during the day. Since the line is constantly moving, how do you know you won’t end up in B20 or Hall H before the group returns/is ready?

I just imagine showing up for my shift and the group is long gone. Or worse, doing my shift, leaving when the next arrives, and coming back to a missing group as they were let in.

Unsure how to strategize if I’m targeting specific panels and don’t plan to spend all day in whatever venue.

I believe once the lines are let in for the first panel, any lines groups still going on are for the next day.

Ok. Thank you.

So lines prior to wristbands are for wristbands, presumably? Which means be sure to show up when the blinky blinks are coming around if your shift is before or after?

No confirmation email here.

Since I can't get it to work, we are a group of three looking to hook up with a group of two to wait for Saturday. PM me if interested.

Wife and I are looking for line buddies to share the workload of lining up on Thursday, for wristbands for Hall H entry on Friday. PM if interested.

I’m super confused about how this all works. I’m interested in Saturday Hall H, so I signed up for a 2-4pm slot. So how do I find where others are at? And after my shift is over, do I just come back when the wristbands are being handed out?
