As an aside, I don't think this necessarily increases Hall H lines. You pretty much have to choose autograph or panel since the autograph sessions are either immediately before or immediately after a panel and take long enough that I wouldn't personally feel comfy risking it with a bathroom pass as they can often be delayed making you late or they get cut off and people who show up late don't get in even with a wristband.
I think people mean it will just increase the overnight Hall H lines, since previously you had to choose between the "Hall H" and "Everything Else" lines to camp in. So all the people who were only in the EE line for autograph drawings will now be somewhere else, and some of them will be in the H line.
What makes me think it is because they call it the "exclusives" portal and they never called it that when all they sold was their preorder merch did they? Also, because none of these companies enjoy having to staff Sails distribution and come up with ticketing solutions and have been asking CCI for lottery for years. These companies have been handling their business at the other big Cons with lotteries for a couple years now. As an aside, I don't think this necessarily increases Hall H lines.

I believe that’s exactly what they called it at wondercon “exclusives” that is. I don’t think their personal wants really factor into what SDCC decides as they’ve shown previously they march to the beat of their own drum. Ultimately it’s speculation but I’m defering to SDCC blog here and their history is pretty good on this stuff 🤷♂️Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I defer to no one because this is all speculation and as I said, there are no big exclusives at WonderCon, ever, you can't go by how they used it there and apply it to SDCC. Also, a great deal of whatever the blog posts is stuff I saw here first. There is no magical connection over there that is privvy to anything we don't know and they have often been wrong. Last year's hotel sale date comes immediately to mind.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
You realize lawboysam cross posts some stuff right because she runs sdcc blog? And they do have some sources we don’t have here. They break news all the time; case in point the bait booth pop. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I've been around here a long time. I know who she is. She was a modertor here first and she's here reading every day. Things we say here end up there. Which is fine, I'm just saying it's not a special source on anything when it comes to what is going on inside CCI. Also, CCI absolutely DOES care what their vendors think and want. Especially the big ones.Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using Tapatalk
You have equally valid reasons. Well know in 60 Days or less 🧐
Hopefully less. Come on CCI, we are obsessive planners. Let us plan.
