I have started this thread for anyone like me who was not lucky enough to get tickets to 2916 Funko Fundays
if you here any updates on the wait list, the idea is to keep everyone updated
or if you have tickets and can't go or dont need them, ( no asking for more money then the cost of the tickets and service fee)
I wish everyone the best of luck

this was posted an hr & 15 after the sale.

Please add me to the list for 2 or 1 if possible.
If it makes this easier, I need this for my daughters friend and you can keep the box of fun, as he's only 5.
-
I thought they had room for 1,500 this year? Interesting...
-
I've been the last two years and no tickets for me this year.....
-
Got 2 of 3 needed tickets. On the wait list for that third one.
-
there is also a list going on the funkofunatic

Reports of waitlist emails being received are going out. Be on the lookout.
-
the times i am seeing is around 730-830pm eastern,
-
I have a feeling that they already went out and not that many. But since people reported there was a time limit I wanted to warn everyone.
-
lets hope for the best, maybe there will be more over the next couple days ^-^ ^-^ ^-^

Where are they reporting wait list emails went out? I've searched and haven't found any news on it.

Funko Fanatics Board

I have been the past two years and was shut out like many. Tis the way SDCC events go, but in case someone has an extra (or two and I can take my brother again) it would be greatly appreciated. I will update if I hear anything from the waitlist. Not hopeful, but haven't given up!

Also FB page, I believe "Top Funko" FB group
-
I just need one ticket, for what it's worth I have given back to the community. Gave away two rooms here. Good luck to all.

So my husband is in several Funko boards and it was asked how the wait list process will work. It seems that the people at Funko can go into the wait list from Eventbrite and manually pick and choose who to release tix to. That's why certain people on Funko board got their emails yesterday. That's how Funko works from what I've seen and learned. At the booth they let certain people in. At the party certain tables with their favorites and admins on boards get a lot of prizes.

I was just telling someone yesterday I suspected this was going on. They have built a friendship with a lot of the older fans so I'm not surprised they are going the extra mile for them.
-
I was told the same thing that they were picking who got the waitlist email and when you go on to the board you see that it is mostly long time board members that got the waitlist letter, and I'm thinking that is where some of those missing 500 tickets are.
-
I just assumed they did a pre-sale for their long-time fans. :-\
I guess shuffling everyone to a waiting list and then picking and choosing from that list is pretty much the equivalent.

Yeah I don't have high hopes, nor expectations. But you don't get anything if you don't respectfully ask :) If people can help each other, awesome. if not? Just another day not going to make or break my fun.

I like that they take care of the individuals who have been fans for a long time. If this is indeed what is happening. Still hoping to see my name called off the waitlist or hope to get help from the community.

Everyone that was waitlisted - keep an eye out for an email from Funko about being able to purchase tickets! I just got one from them, letting me know that I was eligible to buy one. It limited me to one ticket, and also gave me 8 minutes to finish purchasing them. Best of luck!
-
Just got my email as well! Good luck everyone!
-
Please keep me in mind with your stand by emails! My friend still hasn't got one and I don't want him to have to sit out side without us!

So they're giving you only 8 minutes after getting the email to make your purchase?

Ah sorry, I meant that i got 8-minutes once I went to the purchase screen.
-
emails seem to be going out in waves, good luck everyone
-
Yes, I just got a wait list email today!!! So happy!! It only let me buy one so unfortunately the other 3 in my group won't be Funko-ing with me but I guess there is still hope!!
-
So glad people are receiving emails!
-

:D
Hoping there are more waves going around.
-
Just curious those receiving emails is it the same email address you use for the Funk Forum?

sounds like there's going to be a fair amount of singles in our FoCC group ;)
-

Yes, I used the same email address for Eventbrite as I do for the Funko Funatics forum.

Cool just curious mine is a different email. My friend got off today but wasn't on the Funko wait list so I was curious if they saw his email matched. I'll have to ask him tomorrow. My Eventbrite is a different email.
-
i used the same email adress for Funko forum and eventbrite as well.
-
I checked my email again today and nothing. I hope they are still sending emails throughout the week. I refuse to lose hope. :)
-
They haven't closed the sale yet or declared a total sellout, so I guess there's still hope. :)

are people still getting off the waitlist ?
-
its kinda odd people can still get there names added to the wait list on eventbrite
-

I haven't seen any since Monday, but then again, I'm not on the Funko forums.

Especially when they already stated that they had over 3000 people on the waitlist. :-\ Time to close your sale down, Funko, and declare a sell-out. >:D
-
funko needs to call it a day... there are no more
the funny part of this whole story is something will pop up on the same night, same time, marvel or star wars
-
I also got an email on the 6th allowing me to purchase one ticket. I am a newer member of the funko forums, but I was able to go to fun days last year and had a fun time. I just wanted to assuage some of the conspiracy theories that the people getting off the waitlist must be funko insiders...I'm not on anyone's radar, just a fan. I am crossing my fingers for more people to make it off the waitlist!
-
Funko had a twitter QA and I asked what they where doing, when they where going to finally say no more tickets, they did answer me "soon"
2 things i think are going to happen maybe:
1. waiting to close of the last bunch of emails and tickets
2. there is one last batch of tickets to be released
lets hop this gets done Monday and put us all out of our misery
-
Thanks, I didn't get a chance to follow it yesterday. Let's hope it is soon.
