This is something I didn't know about, so maybe I should check it out this year...

“If you have a badge, you will be able to get in the front of the line for food and drinks and activations,” Ridgeway said. “For experiences like last year’s It bus, which usually had a 3-4 hour wait, badge-holders would go to the front of the line.”

Yea I wish I would have known badge holders go to the front!

They had a lot of free treats (cookies, ice cream, water, pepsi) there last year and it was a good way to spend a few hours with a friend who didn't have a badge.

We had badges and still waited 4 hours for the IT bus, so....

I *think* the article means, now that they have taken over the operation that badgeholders will have front of line privileges going forward, so 2018 on. Last year they didn't have this.

See the following, bold is mine:
"For experiences like last year’s It bus, which usually had a 3-4 hour wait, badge-holders would go to the front of the line.”

Not really Comic-Con related, but Humphreys Concerts by the Bay released their summer concert schedule and there are a couple of concerts that take place during Comic-Con--

Chris Isaak on the Tuesday before the Con and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy on the Friday night.

Yea, last year i discovered i had a mixed bag of stuff wanted and other stuff thought others might want and find out they was like blah lol. so now i know be more selective and just go with stuff i want most and try not give in to so many copies as i had before went to con of the tv guide lol. besides check major labels early to by pass the vultures later lol.

They usually give out the wristbands for ticket holders around 9am, then you don't have to back until afternoon, I think like 3?

I believe they started giving them out at 9 but depending on how far back you are in line it can take a while. We were at the friday show which is the one that ran out of tickets. Luckily I had been seeing that you needed to get in line early to have a chance of getting said tickets and getting out of the line at a decent time. I think we got in line at 7am and got our tickets by 10:30am. Had to be back around 3 or 4pm.

Standby got much harder to do last year and a bunch of people got locked out even with tickets on Saturday? People go just to get the pops now which makes it harder. I've been trying to get tickets since it started too :(

Comic con will email everyone when you can throw your name in the hat to hopefully win the Conan lottery. Just a website you put your info in, and then wait for an answer back. This forum will certainly have discussion threads that light up like a Christmas tree once those emails go out.

If you get selected, make sure you show up the morning of your showing to get your numbered “guaranteed entry” wristband for the showing later that day. People will line up early in the morning to get a low number wristband to sit closer to the stage.

There will also be a “standby” line next to, or mixed in with the lottery winners each morning. They hand out a limited number of numbered standby wristbands. Standby people show up for the afternoon shows and hope to get in for the no-shows/empty seats. (This is usually me)

What exactly is this?
