i'm must hoping CCI's volunteer reg que-it works LOL
but it'll be a lot less folks trying to get in

I really think that the only reason CCI is having volunteers use the waiting room is to test out the new system before real badge sales start.

Well, to some extent i agree but it enables a randomization to all the volunteers which forestalls any suggestions of unfairness. Assuming there are more vol's then positions.

Maybe, but...

I've been volunteering since 2017.  From what I remember, it takes a while for the volunteer interest list to fill up.  Like days.

There is that.  We'll know in half an hour.  It's so hard to judge what the demand will be for Turkeycon.  This will give us the first sign.

You hit it during the easy years.  For years before that, it would open and close in minutes.  People would say it was harder to get to be a volunteer than buy a badge.

I got two confirmation emails, one with 3 panels and one with 1 panel (different panels). I wonder if they will combine or if I'll only get the 1 (or 3) panels.

it's my understanding there's a **lot** more volunteers then positions for SE
Interest by the vol's is in question tho.  I would **love** to know how many people are in the waiting room right now hehe

It keeps saying my verification expired. I would much rather get up early and line up than do this stupid thing. I'm about ready to throw my phone.

Between D23's debacle a few years back and now this id be wary of cons with reservations moving forward. Has any large con successfully implemented a reservation system so far?

I managed to get in early and got all of mine with minimal crashes.  Then tried to help a friend and it’s all gone to hell.  Which frankly is what I expected.

I think this is the same engine that D23 used.

Heads up : They put (at least they did for me when I did it) The Ghostbusters panel to be from 4:45-7:15 instead of from 6:30-7:30 as listed on the schedule so I wasn't able to put George Takei on there who is supposed to be at 4:15-5:15. Maybe the Ghostbusters thing is an error? It has the same time (4:45-7:15) on my confirmation email also.
