I still saw plenty of people camping overnight. I think the only thing the lottery did was give someone like me a chance to get something who would have never considered camping out overnight. Other people in the signing I won also said the same thing. That's why I don't think that a lottery is the best way to go. Since I think the people that want it so much that they will camp out overnight should be the ones that get it.
I'm very much looking forward to winning an autograph lottery as there is no way in hell I'm leaving the comfort and security of the expensive hotel I'm staying at, to camp out in line like a kid. I don't understand this mentality, but to each their own. Now I'll get in line if I can as early as I can, but I'm not camping out, it's ridiculous. I know CC tries to make camping out in lines overnight as part of the CC experience, but that's not right. I think a lottery is a fair system and I wish all of us the best of luck.
I am still a bit peeved that there is no 24-hour shuttle service this year. Sent an email asking for a return of the 24 hour shuttles..oh well. I think having a shorter schedule may foster some safety issues.
Was anybody impacted by the reductions in shuttle service this year? Specifically the removal of some hotels from the shuttles, like MGH and the Embassy Suites, and the loss of the late night hours?We had a horrible shuttle experience on PN, we got on it in Little Italy and the driver took a totally different route, got snarled in gridlock and we were stuck on it for over an hour. Finally some people convinced him to let us out by the MGH even though he wasn't supposed to.
It was really frustrating watching us pass our hotel, make a circle and have us dropped off a few blocks away. It seemed like it would be easy to just add a stop.
The shuttles were a weird experience this year. A lot of the drivers seemed new. Thursday morning our driver kept pulling out a map to read WHILE HE WAS DRIVING. I had to ride the shuttle Thursday to Saturday and I think I had a different route going from MV to downtown each day. I wish someone from CCI would ride the shuttles so they can see what happens and also how much of a service it provides. They are always packed with con goers.
