Last year was the first year I tried, just refreshing that twitter account. Is there something else I should be doing? I already had an evenbrite account. This year I also made an account at funko.com and signed up for the newsletter. Where is this forum to get status/presale entry? Thanks

With no post I am not sure if the forum will get presale anymore.  Historically you had to be on the board 1 year and have 100 posts.

It's been flooded lately though so I wonder if they are going a different way.

I cannot handle another year of refreshing for 4 hours,  they should be ashamed of doing that.

Last year was complete madness, and I'm sure there are so many similar stories out there.

During sale day last year, from like 9:30am Pacific Time on, I literally sat in a conference room at work, blocked out the rest of the day, and stared painfully into my laptop screen which had Funko's Twitter page up, doing my very best not to blink or even look away.  Running to and from the bathroom around Noontime was among the most stressful moments of my con career.

I ended up scoring two tickets, but my eyes hurt that evening...and I felt drained from the experience.

I'm certainly up for doing that again, but if Funko does in fact decide to go the route of a lottery system, I would not be terribly upset at my chances diminishing considerably.  I mean, I've gone twice in a row now, and there are quite literally tens (perhaps hundreds) of thousands of people that yearn to attend.

A significant part of my good memories are not even from the event, but rather dressing up in 80's gear and hanging out with you and the rest of the FoCC crew in line :)

LOLOL!  I totally remember that!  It was during the sales window not long before the actual Eventbrite Tweet went out.  One of the greatest troll moments of all-time.

We all looked great!  The line time is the best part, once you get in it's hard to socialize.

The music was so much fun.  I think [member=3729]racheva[/member] and I danced the entire night!

I hope I can be more lucky and get a ticket this year... I remember having to be up all night and not sleeping before going to work last year and missing out anyway. Its hard to be fast enough when you are half asleep because its the middle of the night. Hopefully they won't make us wait for so many hours this year haha

Last year's Fundays was especially awesome! I loved the prom theme, and how many people dressed up for it! And Racheva and NCDS did not see me dancing all night, because I was behind them. ;)

This is very true you were right behind getting your groove on!  And Dave's artwork was amazing! I am hoping all the people at our table get tickets so we can just repeat the table!

Posted on the Funko Forum this morning.

Tell us something we don't know, haha!

Quote
Who would be interested in some quick details?

When? July 19
How much? $140/ticket
Will a group of Funatics have a chance to purchase tickets before the general sale? Yes

Funko is being very generous in setting aside a subset of tickets for engaged Funatics. More information to come very, very soon!

I always thought this event was always for the privileged...Funko Fanatic Forum Members or People with Fiber optics internet.
Never bother trying really.
