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... ;)

I was able to select tickets as well, but then it sent me to the waitlist. First time trying this year and thought the theme sounded fun. Congrats to those who nabbed tickets!

4th year in a row waitlisted!! Congrats to all those that got tickets.

On a side note if anyone needs a +1 to Fundays I would be more than happy to attend and am free that night!! Haha

5 seconds and a cloud of dust.  My God, those went in absolute record time.

I copy/pasted FAMILY with an extra space on my first attempt "FAMILY ".  All it took was one failed login and on the next screen, the waitlist had already appeared.

We now live in a world where Fundays tix are going to go in sub-5 seconds.

While I was not able to directly purchase due to my error, I was graciously given someone's +1.  Very happy for those that scored!! CONGRATS!

I keep seeing people on Twitter saying the password was leaked early. Did anyone see it or know if that's true?

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.

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?

No luck, but at least I don't have to refresh that page anymore.

I'm assuming that eventbrite doesn't kick someone out after the first payment failure.  Most merchants will let you cycle a few times before that.  They don't want to lose the sale.

I think the best hope of tickets right now is from cancellations.

The odds are definitely slim when you look at the previous posts funko was tweeting and how over 1 k responded. So definitely luck of the draw with refresh and seeing the word pop up. I know when I typed in the password it was definitely freezing on the page that it went right to waitlisted.

Being fair, they update the eventbrite page with the password, then tweet it out later (about a minute). So there is time where a password could be sent to someone and bought before it's supposed to be public.

I continued to refresh and at 12:22, I was able to select a number of tickets again, but after that, a red error came up that said "The tickets, ticket quantity or date and time you've requested are no longer available, due to previous sales. Please choose a different date, time, or number of tickets and place your order again."

So close, yet so far away!! :'( ;D  :(

I actually saw a twitter notification on my phone, had already refreshing the page on my laptop, saw the pass, click the link, enter manually the pass, choose 2 tix... seems like I was incredibly lucky, I dont think I did it under 5 sec, but no more than 7-8 I believe

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.

I was able to select number of tickets, but then received an error. Probably just because they were all already in carts.  :( Waitlisted now.


i got the same error too! :(
