Title: 2016 Funko Fundays wait listed
Post by: karl clement on June 01, 2016, 02:01:27 PM
I have started this thread for anyone like me who was not lucky enough to get tickets to 2916 Funko Fundays
if you here any updates on the wait list, the idea is to keep everyone updated
or if you have tickets and can't go or dont need them, ( no asking for more money then the cost of the tickets and service fee)
I wish everyone the best of luck

Please add me to the list for 2 or 1 if possible.
If it makes this easier, I need this for my daughters friend and you can keep the box of fun, as he's only 5.

I thought they had room for 1,500 this year? Interesting...

I have a feeling that they already went out and not that many.  But since people reported there was a time limit I wanted to warn everyone.

Where are they reporting wait list emails went out? I've searched and haven't found any news on it.

I have been the past two years and was shut out like many.  Tis the way SDCC events go, but in case someone has an extra (or two and I can take my brother again) it would be greatly appreciated.  I will update if I hear anything from the waitlist.  Not hopeful, but haven't given up!

I just need one ticket, for what it's worth I have given back to the community.  Gave away two rooms here.  Good luck to all.

So my husband is in several Funko boards and it was asked how the wait list process will work. It seems that the people at Funko can go into the wait list from Eventbrite and manually pick and choose who to release tix to. That's why certain people on Funko board got their emails yesterday. That's how Funko works from what I've seen and learned. At the booth they let certain people in. At the party certain tables with their favorites and admins on boards get a lot of prizes.

I was just telling someone yesterday I suspected this was going on. They have built a friendship with a lot of the older fans so I'm not surprised they are going the extra mile for them.

I was told the same thing that they were picking who got the waitlist email and when you go on to the board you see that it is mostly long time board members that got the waitlist letter, and I'm thinking that is where some of those missing 500 tickets are.
Title: Re: 2016 Funko Fundays wait listed
Post by: frgx on June 02, 2016, 11:21:42 AM
I just assumed they did a pre-sale for their long-time fans.  :-\
I guess shuffling everyone to a waiting list and then picking and choosing from that list is pretty much the equivalent.

Yeah I don't have high hopes, nor expectations.  But you don't get anything if you don't respectfully ask :) If people can help each other, awesome.  if not? Just another day not going to make or break my fun.

I like that they take care of the individuals who have been fans for a long time.  If this is indeed what is happening.  Still hoping to see my name called off the waitlist or hope to get help from the community.

Everyone that was waitlisted - keep an eye out for an email from Funko about being able to purchase tickets! I just got one from them, letting me know that I was eligible to buy one. It limited me to one ticket, and also gave me 8 minutes to finish purchasing them. Best of luck!

Please keep me in mind with your stand by emails! My friend still hasn't got one and I don't want him to have to sit out side without us!

So they're giving you only 8 minutes after getting the email to make your purchase?

Yes, I used the same email address for Eventbrite as I do for the Funko Funatics forum.

Cool just curious mine is a different email.  My friend got off today but wasn't on the Funko wait list so I was curious if they saw his email matched.  I'll have to ask him tomorrow.  My Eventbrite is a different email.

I checked my email again today and nothing. I hope they are still sending emails throughout the week. I refuse to lose hope.  :)

They haven't closed the sale yet or declared a total sellout, so I guess there's still hope.  :)

I haven't seen any since Monday, but then again, I'm not on the Funko forums.

Especially when they already stated that they had over 3000 people on the waitlist.  :-\  Time to close your sale down, Funko, and declare a sell-out.  >:D

funko needs to call it a day... there are no more
the funny part of this whole story is  something will pop up on the same night, same time, marvel or star wars

I also got an email on the 6th allowing me to purchase one ticket.  I am a newer member of the funko forums, but I was able to go to fun days last year and had a fun time.   I just wanted to assuage some of the conspiracy theories that the people getting off the waitlist must be funko insiders...I'm not on anyone's radar, just a fan.   I am crossing my fingers for more people to make it off the waitlist!
Title: Re: 2016 Funko Fundays wait listed
Post by: karl clement on June 11, 2016, 10:00:21 AM
Funko had a twitter QA and I asked what they where doing, when they where going to finally say no more tickets, they did answer me  "soon"
2 things i think are going to happen maybe:

1. waiting to close of the last bunch of emails and tickets
2. there is one last batch of tickets to be released

lets hop this gets done Monday and put us all out of our misery
