"Fundays tickets will go on sale on
Wednesday, June 1, 2016 - 12:00pm PT

https://funkofundays2016.eventbrite.com
$120 (plus fees) per ticket

Please read our policies ahead of time so you aren't faced with any surprises when you go to purchase your tickets or arrive at the event!

It's that time again! This year promises to be bigger and better with more entertainment than ever. You'll spend the evening at the Grand Hyatt Manchester in lovely San Diego with your fellow funatics, Funko employees and special guests. Everyone will be enjoying food, drinks and a full evening of entertainment hosted by Funko's very own Brian Mariotti and Mike Becker. There will be prizes galore, contests, corn, and a whole lot more. And, of course, every attendee receives a legendary Funko "Box O' Fun" just for being part of this annual event. Each attendee also receives two drink tickets, heavy appetizers and enough memories to last three lifetimes.

Tickets will go on sale Wednesday, June 1st at 12 noon Pacific Time. Be ready - tickets will go fast!

Doors will open at 6pm and the evening's entertainment starts at 8pm. In an effort to allow as many different people to attend as possible, there is a limit of TWO (2) tickets per customer. You must register the names for each ticket holder. Only ONE "Box O' Fun" will be given to each attendee. One ticket, one attendee, one box! Repeated for emphasis: one person cannot redeem multiple tickets for multiple boxes of fun!

 

FAQs

 

Are there ID requirements or an age limit to enter the event?

No. While we do not recommend this event for small children, children are welcome. However, every attendee will require a ticket, regardless of age.

 

Is my registration/ticket transferable?

No. Any attempts at transferring tickets will result in cancellation of said ticket.

 

Why is the limit only 2 tickets per customer?

Our ticketing limitations are designed in order to allow as many different people to attend Fundays as possible. We want to make sure we spread the tickets out and don't want people purchasing blocks of tickets. We reserve the right to cancel any attempts to purchase more than 2.

 

Why is the policy only ONE box of Box of Fun per customer?

We don't want people to purchase multiple tickets just to collect multiple boxes. Instead, we want those tickets to go to other fans that would like to attend the event. The idea is to come to the event and experience Fundays together - not just collect the free stuff!

 

Can I update my registration information?

Yes.

 

Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event?

No, but we recommend it.

 

The name on the registration/ticket doesn't match the attendee. Is that okay?

Yes, but you can only redeem ONE ticket per customer. If you have multiple tickets, you will not receive multiple boxes of fun. Only ONE Box of Fun will be given to each ticket-holder.

 

See you there!"

Please only discuss sdcc funko exclusives in the funko SDCC exclusives thread

funko fundays convo. belongs in the "off site' area

funko products in general belong in the funko thread in the con suite area

I have a question. Last year I saw the ticket sales notification too late for Fundays.
The tickets had names on them. Did anyone capture the sequence of screens for how to check out, like a step by step walkthrough?
I just want to know exactly what to do in advance to make my checkout go quickly.
Thx

Theya re using eventbrite, just go check another set of their sales pages.  They will likely be the same.

They won't since they announced in advanced the sale date last year there was very short notice.  That said, it's not going to make or break anyone's con and if it does that's pretty unfortunate and any singular event shouldn't determine your experience.

I'm nervous and I'm just helping a friend  :D!  I wouldn't count on tickets lasting an hour, get there right at the sale start time.  Better safe than sorry.

If you haven't already done so, make an Eventbrite account. It will save you time at checkout.

I know I can't believe it is tomorrow. I am keeping my fingers crossed. I have arranged to combine my lunch and break starting at 11:50, my son will be at home ready, Kurt's gf Alana is participating from her house; unfortunately, Jordan will be at work and Lexi will be at school, but I am trying to be positive. I'm just hoping not to get shut out.

Their FAQ is a little strange, but you can change the name on the ticket so I'd assume so.

Question for those here, though not sure anybody knows the true answer. I'm going to try and get 2 tickets for myself and a friend. But if we can't make it, it says no selling the tickets? I wouldn't want to make money off of them, but if I can't go, just to get back how much I spent. Anybody think I should just forget even trying, since I'm not 100% sure if I can make it?

I have a friend who really wants me to go to Fundays but I'm conflicted.  Last year I was standing in line for one of the outside events and struck up a conversation with a family who had been to the Fundays event the night before and spoke about how people were being hurt, children were getting slammed into and that it was horrible.  Did anyone go last year?  Was it really like that?

i've never been to fundays myself, but according to a lot of the comments from this sdccblog article from last year. it was really bad, somebody even broke his ankle. :(

The family told me a big guy plowed into a little girl and she had to be carried away.  They made it sound like a lot of people were getting hurt.

Eventbrite says on their site that you can change the name on the ticket if the vendor allows the option to be enabled. So my guess is funko doesn't have it enabled and u would need to contact them to change.

Just my guess, I don't see any concrete info about changing names for fundays

I didn't go, but the accounts I have heard - there were chill pockets and insane pockets with black friday levels of inhuman behavior. Kind of like the exhibit floor! :)

I have gone for the last 2 yrs and it has got more intense and a couple of ppl get hurt, that being said it is my understanding that they are going to do things differently this year; probably in hopes no one gets hurt.

It was very chaotic, since they sold more tickets, so lots of new people went.

Did you hear anything in particular about it being run differently to account for the insanity that was last years event?

I've been for the past 2 years and it's crazy each year. Last year there were just more people and this year there will be more than that. I think they thrive on the craziness. The louder and crazier you are the more they go to your table.

It was slow on my end after clicking on it once 12pm hit. That was it. Wow, already waitlisted. x_x

Am glad that the server didn't have any issues such as errors or super slow loading. Well on my end can't speak for everyone else.

I did - it would not do anything after I clicked on it. I kept trying it and eventually it went through, but tickets were sold out at that point. I think if your checkout button wasn't working, then the tickets were gone.

I got right in and was able to get two tickets for a friend. Was very smooth for me. Sorry to hear some people had issues. You had 8 minutes once the tickets were in your cart, to complete the transaction. Maybe some people who didn't have good credit cards, ect dumped there and some people on the waitlist will get some.

Yep, just saw that. Crazy how fast it went, but giving folks so much time to get ready for the sale, I guess it shouldn't be a surprise.

Btw, looks like you can edit the name for each ticket. I didn't hit the edit button but it was there -- the option.

1500 tickets this year, up from 1000 last year.  Price also jumped from 80 to 125, I hope that means better food, more drink tickets, or better boxes o fun.

It's sad because there are people who actually want to attend the event, not profit from it. At this point, I may consider paying those gouged prices.

Please keep in mind you can change the name on the ticket so they could sell 100 of the same ticket.   Only the first person there would actually get in.  I would advise to avoid buying from any scalpers.

Do not do it. Don't support this practice. That $700 can go towards something else such as food or paying off bills. And another thing, any ticket could be a fake so again, don't do it. As much fun this event can be, it is not worth $700.

@OriginalFunko should kids wear body armor/helmets this year or have you decided to divvy out protos and Freddys in a more civilized way?

@OriginalFunko

@VinhQLy We wouldn't actually recommend this event for small kids. But yes, we have revised our system for handing out freebies.

Thanks for the support guys. Guess I'm just really bummed out as I already put a lot of hope and prayer into this trip (as I know is also the case for others). Due to personal circumstance, this may be my first and last trip to Sdcc and after I got Preview night, I was so happy and I guess I was trying too hard to make everything perfect, from hotel to offsites etc. After hours and hours of research on this forum and elsewhere Funko was near the top of my wish list (also have a huge Funko collection). Still I am thankful for everything I have to this point.

Just want to say it has really touched me to see everyone here so supportive and big hearted. Thank you for all the love and I hope you all have a great time

Eisners comic awards
SAN DIEGO BREWS CRUISE - Comic-Con Edition
so far- i'm sure there will be other partys & events plus we haven't even seen the program list ;)

that's the wonderful thing abt sdcc.  as a general rule have 3 plans for things to do. if you end up with your plan C you still will have a blast!

LMAO! This must be a joke. This is what drugs can do to a person. They must realize that no one will ever pay that much just for a ticket. This so reminds me of the early days of the Xbox 360 and PS3 -- shortage for both at their release dates thus crazy prices on EBay. I do hope people are smart enough and don't fall for this trick.

You can go the scalper route you just need them to update the listing on the ticket which you can do.  If they won't do that, then it's a scam.

Any good strategies to get some nifty Freddies/Protos while remaining safe?  Because it seems like there's some level of mutual exclusivity for those propositions. :X

Then when they sell it to the next person they will update the ticket with a new name.  No one will find out until they are at the event and they get turned down when they scan the ticket as already used.

I don't encourage anyone to use a scalper.

But what's to stop them from selling the same ticket over and over? I can change the names on the tickets and regenerate the tickets over and over. They could sell one ticket multiple times, and only the first person to use it would get in.

I never trust online reviews.  If you have a bad experience you are more likely to write a review because you are pissed off, but if you had a good time you probably aren't going to rush to the comment section of a website to tell people you had fun.  I'm sure it'll be crazy, but don't believe everything you read online (including this :P)

If anyone has an extra ticket and needs a bodyguard to shield you from hits,kicks and getting trampled or if you just want to use me and throw me out into the crowd to scavenge for pop giveaways then I'm for hire. To get this 270 lb brute to do your bidding in this so called mash pit called funko fundays, all you need to do is give me a ticket and Im yours. :)

Disclaimer: No guarantees that I will not keep the pops I collect when you send me out into the crowd!

Previously, it seems like there was no way to stay completely safe.  Apparently, this year they are changing (read the tweets on the last pages).  I'd guess they are going to do a lotto, or they should at least. Or place numbers under chairs or something.

Nothing, that's why you use a reputable scalper.  You just don't hand over money, see if they have references, anyone you know, etc.  People act like 100% of scalpers will burn you, that's not the case.  Do I encourage caution? Absolutely, but if I scalped my ticket I'd hope my previous history dealing with people would speak for itself.

I don't usually either, but I have read crazy reports from various different places (Facebook groups, etc.) However-most people did still have a good time, but did report seeing some craziness. I believe a kid was involved in one of the altercations (hearsay only, on my part). Funko does say it is not an event for little kids, but I don't  think that excuses the behavior. I am going to see what the reports are like this year, and maybe try for next year. I would love to go to this-I am a huge Funko fan, but the atmosphere turns me off. Plus-the Box of Fun is usually all Freddy Funko based, and I am not particularly fond of those (weird, I know).

Besides-Friday nights are DC Universe Animation screenings. Those are free and with no projectiles! We have made that a Friday Night tradition/priority. As Alyssa and others said earlier-so much to do!

If I remember correctly from last year it was all Freddy Funkos.  They didn't have any other exclusives there.  Hope that helps your decision next year.  If I find out differently I will report back.

I call them my nerd choices :)   They are all hard because there is so much to do and I want to do it all!!!!!!  If only my mutant power was to duplicate I could go enjoy everything and then morph back into one with all the wonderful memories.

Just like anything else SDCC related, if you want a good table you need to line up ahead of time. For those who went last year you know how big the room was. Last year I brought "RESERVED" signs to place on the tables. I managed to get 2 tables next to each other, next to the catwalk. Then as the time got later I opened up the unclaimed seats. I would also suggest bringing noise makers, that is probably something they will continue

Just like anything else SDCC related, if you want a good table you need to line up ahead of time. For those who went last year you know how big the room was. Last year I brought "RESERVED" signs to place on the tables. I managed to get 2 tables next to each other, next to the catwalk. Then as the time got later I opened up the unclaimed seats. I would also suggest bringing noise makers, that is probably something they will continue
that's a great idea about the reserved signs

How early did you get there?  I was thinking about showing up an hour before, but had no idea if that was early enough.
i was thinking about getting there an hour early as well, but that is early enough. but with SDCC it might not be. LOL ;)

People actually didn't attempt to take those seats?  I'm surprised.  I get saving one table, but two? I'd probably be a little salty if I saw that.

hi guys.  my wife and I were lucky enough to get the fundays tickets.  I can only assume pure luck.   

we are looking to sit with people from here.  this is what we offer and are looking for. 

we offer
1)  two people who are not rude and will have showered at least 10 hrs within the event
2)  we are not scalpers
3)  we also don't drink alcohol so we will give those away
4)  medical care for any children hurt we are both pediatricians
5)  we are funko newbies

we are looking for
1)  non-scalpers
2)  people who don't smell
3)  people who wont physically harm us for items (I am a gentle giant and sideshow collector so I understand and get it.  I also out of pure curiosity went to the funko booth last sdcc at openings just to be a part of it).

I just plan to table up with [member=2335]LibertyRoxx[/member] [member=3724]jristen[/member] [member=3729]racheva[/member] [member=1]alyssa[/member] [member=846]rando[/member] [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member] [member=1527]dolphina[/member] ( I haven't even asked some of them) and any other forum member who wants to tag along (hint [member=3963]CaseyJones14[/member] and [member=2397]TheNeck[/member] [member=5910]CathexisZero[/member] ).  I bet we have enough for two tables! We can get to know each other and win some Funkos.


This sounds like a good idea.  I would love to make some new friends at the Con and win Funkos! I'll definitely have to keep my eyes on the thread as the event nears.  :D 

And I hope Funko comes up with a sane way to distribute giveaways.  That would make it better. 

Another question, though: I've seen on the thread that people recommend getting there early to line up.  Does that mean line up an hour before the 8 PM start time, or between the 6 PM doors opening time?  I assume the latter (because SDCC), but just want to coordinate things.

Also, is the food any good?  Buffet style?

Sounds good.   Dolphina get the reserved seat signs ready we are going to need them.  Closer to the event let's start a list of members and guest who want to try and sit together.  Let's face it any planning before the schedule comes out will be pointless.
Title: Re: 2016 Funko Fundays event chat

i Love the idea of a couple of FoCC tables

maybe we can make up a couple FoCC Reserved signs  to make it clear we're all from the forum.  that way folks who don't recognize us from previous meet ups can find us easily. 
I can provide a pdf of the mini logo or the big bannor which ever might look better.  Or i might be able to get them printed too...  get with me [member=1527]dolphina[/member] ok?

organizing a line wait makes a LOT sense.  We'll need to wait to finalize until the sched. is released but we can start an in thread interest list.

My own group family/friends was 8 or 9 not including other FoCC members. Between the 2 tables we only had 3 avail seats that went to ppl outside our group. I also had people seating at both seating tables with the reserved signs at the empty chairs, and truthfully, no one had a problem or said anything. FYI, be aware Funko also reserves tables for their guests and employees, so 5-7 tables are already reserved before you even get in.

If they were with you when you got in it's one thing, it's another if one person holds two tables.  I guess I just treat it like a movie theater you know?  When people say "oh im reserving this row" vs "hey I'm saving two seats" I think it's different.  It's Funko's event I'd expect them to reserve tables for staff and guests just like you would see at a club.  If no one else minds, I'm happy you can keep your group together.  When'd you line up last year to get your table?

Just discovered this forum today from researching previous fundays. My girlfriend and I like pops a lot and were able to get tickets. We would would be open to sitting with folks from here rather than completely random people who might be jerks. We are excited about the prizes and stuff but we find the previous stories about fighting and chaos pretty disgusting so wouldn't be interested in participating in that or being around that, maybe would even prefer sitting on the outskirts but possibly not, not sure how the setup is gonna be.

sweet thanks for the welcome, yeah I am pretty excited but also hoping they do the prize distribution more randomly and organized and safely than what I've seen. I'll for sure have a look around here, this will be my 3rd SDCC but my first fundays.

I will be there too, so that I can get into the Funko Booth.  I've been inside the Hasbro Booth...but not the Funko booth.  That's kind of my White Whale this year. 

And I would like in on the FOCC Seating area at the Funko Funday event!  Looks to be a blast going with a big (and organized) group! 

(Sorry for all the exclamation points; I'm just super excited)

I was pretty shocked myself, when all of the wait list spots seemed to be going to long tenured members of the Funko Funatics board I didn't think I had much of a shot. Just need to remember to bring the charge cable for my phone this year so I can meet up with all the great people going from this board. Last year was really wierd with my phone shut down 80% of the time.

I love you guys, but I'm pretty sure 99% of events would SERIOUSLY discourage/not allow you to make your own reserved seat signs and putting them on tables. That's not really your call, and you'd be liable to get into trouble.

Huh? 3am with a ticket? What are you referring to.  I wasn't intending at lining up at 3am for Fundays.  I think Dolphina had already said elsewhere that an hour before was fine.

Yeah I kind of tried to make that point previously, I'm certainly not a Funko employee or someone who plans on arguing with others.  But if you have an empty table with reserved signs, and every other seat was singles  I'd probably ask what's up.  I did and would get just as frustrated if I camped overnight and people ducked into the Hasbro or Hall H line in front of me.

Honestly, a sign would be more for a meetup in line waiting to get in. then we would go in as a group, get scanned in, get the Box o' Fun and find some tables. Then you hit up the food and drinks after you've already set up your tables. Nothing to get mad at there, the other people at Fundays meet up with people they know and sit together too, not really a big deal.

Hey Funko peeps! 

I'm pretty new to the Funko thing but my group and I were trying for the Funko Fundays event and like most people...were shut down faster than Spaceball One went to plaid! 

I know this is probably a laughable request but this is the only place I can thing to ask sooooo...if anyone is not going to make it and wanted to let us have your tix...we would be more than grateful!!  There are 4 of us and we are actually staying at the Manchester so either way we will probably swing by to say hello to you guys!

Thanks...and please don't laugh too hard :(

LOL, it's not a reserved sign in the sense that there will be one person taking the whole table when it opens.  More like we'll have enough folks to hold the table(s) & the signs help folks find us.  Remember most of us have never met in person. ;)

Huh? 3am with a ticket? What are you referring to.  I wasn't intending at lining up at 3am for Fundays.  I think Dolphina had already said elsewhere that an hour before was fine.

i am trying to point out the other thread explicitly for the funkoy booth- this is the thread for the event. Please don't conflate the two.

Although the chances are prolly slim you should register on the wait list at the Funkofunatic.com website.

We sure did Dolphina, thank you for the suggestion.  I've seriously never seen tickets go that quickly before and I've done my fair share of fast draw online purchases!  If someone had taken my picture, you could put it next to dumbfounded in the dictionary!!

LOL, it's not a reserved sign in the sense that there will be one person taking the whole table when it opens.  More like we'll have enough folks to hold the table(s) & the signs help folks find us.  Remember most of us have never met in person. ;)

Yeah I figured you were, but then you said "no lineup at 3am for the ticket" which kind of further conflated it.....anyway glad that we're on the same page.  I ceased and desisted :0

how did the process work ?  you got an email and then had a certain amount of time to claim it ?  just curious.

Post by: lelee8483 on June 06, 2016, 02:57:25 PM
The email just stated there was an available spot (only 1 ticket, not 2 like initially) and to click the link in the email.  Once you're in you have 8 min to complete the purchase.

The email was in my inbox for about 15 min before I saw it so I don't think there is an exact time limit with the email portion.

Can't believe this one is still up.  They even posted the Funko FAQs that state there is no selling your ticket, and they will cancel if they find out.

I am NOT a proponent of selling it on ebay.  but how would they know ?  if you can change the ticket name at any time and you use it only once what is in place for them to stop this outside of some big brother like technology ? 

I guess you could win the auction.  not pay for it.  find out the sellers email.  would that work ?

What a BS line. "There were for our kids, but we thought they were too young for this"

You knew they were young when you bought them.

This was the plan all along.

Shameful. >:(

Like Karl said, ebay would work with them.

Also, with it stated explicitly that the vendor doesn't allow this and they will cancel - meaning there is a good chance the buyer will not get their product, ebay usually yanks the ad.  Ebay tends to lean on the side of protecting buyers over sellers

They left a "taking best offer" thingy up, so I assume they're just trying to see how much they can get for them.  I'd be curious myself.

Why report him? Just leave the guy alone, it's not his/her fault that the market justifies that.  Increase the supply or reduce demand.

We've had this discussion many times on many threads. Some of us think scalping is wrong, some of us do not. We are never all going to agree, so we should probably stop debating it.

But in general on this forum we try to abide by the rules of the event in question. So if Funko says you're not allowed to resell the tickets (even if they don't make it impossible to do so), then we frown on reselling the tickets.

Can we please move pass the debate on whether scalping is good or not and focus on the event. 

I think [member=1291]semigeekgirl[/member] stated it well "in general on this forum we try to abide by the rules of the event in question. So if Funko says you're not allowed to resell the tickets (even if they don't make it impossible to do so), then we frown on reselling the tickets. "  Let's respect the forum community on this belief and move forward.  I feel the debate has been addressed thoroughly in this thread.

I would like us to focus on the fun of the event.

So anyone have a Freddy in mind they would like to see at the event?  Or a proto they hope snag?

Since I was pulled from the wait list and am now attending, I hope for some Harry Potter themed Freddys and will be content if I get any proto.  The first goal is to snag at least one proto and then I will worry about what I get.  Last year I was able to make a proto trade and I will go that route if I am not crazy about the one I get.  IF I get one.   O0

Lol Karl that was me, I think we try to encourage the community in general.  Although I gave an actual hotel two? months ago to a member not a wait listed hotel unless you were referring to someone else.  If you contribute (I gave a hotel here and a hotel on the Funko board), all other things being considered you should try to take care of others.  I'm glad to see people getting in off the waitlist, and if I don't get a spare oh well.  Con is teeming with awesome things to do.

They were actually in the third largest ballroom, the second largest was used for the X-Box lounge and the largest was broken up and used for fullfilment, the blood drive and the independent film festival. Things get moved around every year so it could be in one of those rooms or they are just using the space better.

Yes, the Film Festival is moving to the new part of the Marriott Marquis. I'm guessing that means upgraded room for Fundays.

Really hoping for a better experience this year. I did manage to get two Freddy's (Deathstroke and Jack Skellington) but I was there with NCDS when she got hit and in general, it was kind of a disaster. There was nowhere to sit, we had to argue with Funko staff to get our boxes of fun, the Star Wars concert (though incredible) made us really late. So this year; getting their early, sitting with friends, and hoping they have a better system for getting Freddy's to people. My best friend and his 6 year old are coming for the first time to Fundays and I want the kid to have the best experience possible.

You over on Funko board too? Someone has the exact same avatar and it trips me out.  I think Funko staff themselves said it wasn't recommended for young children right?  Don't worry, I'll muscle up  ;) and make sure people stay safe haha.

Also, sorry it might be MMM I forget hotel acronyms I just meant wherever it was last year was pretty big already.  Wasn't sure there was aplace that was 50% bigger.

Yep, guilty as charged! That is indeed me. They did and I told my friend that, but his son is dead set on going. That kid once he's made up his mind, it ain't changing. I plan on being his bouncer, no one is going to ruin Fun Days for him.

It sounded like something like that happened. That or they weren't properly checking and people were going up and saying they hadn't gotten theirs. Either way it seems Funko is keen to address that this year.

[member=2339]NCDS[/member] we are each other's Con bffs, we both know it. I wouldn't have it any other way. :)

What is this Oreo thing you speak of? At Fundays it's about chugging a can of creamed corn. Seriously.

I'm not going to lie, 7 years of college and I chugged a few cans of corn in my day.  Also, cinnamon challenges were a thing too.  Although I'm probably not going to be any good at trivia :)

I've only been involved with Funko for a couple of years although I've been collecting pops for a few years before that but feel unprepared for trivia

So anyone have a Freddy in mind they would like to see at the event?  Or a proto they hope snag?

Would love to get my hands on a Tali'Zorah (from Mass Effect) prototype.

Would also love to get my hands on a DOOOOOOOOOOM Freddie, or some OUAT Freddies.  Or a Dwayne Johnson Freddie...

No Star Wars concert this year so I plan to be early.  That is what caused me to be late last year and it was worth it.

no star wars concert ?  I don't think anyone knows this haha.  we didn't know there would be one last year.  but to happen again.  no not likely.  but I wouldn't put it past them. 

so what exactly is an adequate time to get there "early" ?

It's hard to say. If you get in line with the FoCC crew waiting to get in, then of course. But it might be hard if you get there later. It just depends on how many spaces we are able to save

The more people we have in line early, the more spaces we are able to save?  If so, I'll definitely be there early.

I'm hoping this is the right place to put this. My group and I were able to score Funko tickets and Conan Friday tickets.

Does anyone know if it is fine to arrive at MGH after 6PM but before 8PM for Funko if we do not mind getting seats that are further from the stage?

This is a long shot, but I am looking for one ticket for my brother.  I don't mind flying solo, but this would be the first time in three years he missed out. 

Thanks!

Post by: SchoolboyQ on July 19, 2016, 12:03:01 PM
Funko just sent out an email to ticket holders with the schedule.

Quote

A Message from Funko:

 

Dear Attendee,

Fundays is just a few short days away!! We are so excited and can’t wait for you all to see the amazing show we have been working so hard to put together!

 

Please note: there is no advantage to lining up early to enter Fundays this year! Please enjoy everything that SDCC has to offer instead of waiting in line all afternoon. With the seating area opening later than the foyer area, being first in line does not guarantee you first choice at tables. And also - we cannot stress this enough —there is no advantage of being at one table over another!! We recommend showing up no earlier than 5:30pm.

 

Location: Manchester Grand Hyatt’s SEAPORT BALLROOM (if you attended last year, we are in a different room!) Entry will be on the Kettner Boulevard side of the hotel.

 

Schedule of events:

6:00pm: Foyer opens

6:45pm: Ballroom (seating area) opens

8:00pm: Show begins!

 

Take your time and avoid the line!

 

See you there!

 

Funko

i initially got willie wonka, mad hatter, and sting. i traded mad hatter for umpa lumpa, and traded sting for charlie brown. personally i like the 3 i got.

my friend was lucky and got kylo ren and skeletor in his box of fun, i forget what the 3rd freddy was.

yeah no fundays is a MUST every year at SDCC.

Thank you! Indeed, Fundays was really fun. Sort of surprised that one person from the SDDCU Blog didn't like the change nor had fun. Granted, it did feel controlled at times, minus the golden ticket, but the atmosphere was still fun. Funko did the right thing; it worked. For once no one saw someone hit and push kids around while getting Funkos like in past events. (How is that fun?) But that is their opinion and they have the right to it. For sure trying for Fundays again.

Event was great.  Excellent food.  Excellent Prizes. Entertainment was ok, a little corny at times (no pun intended). 
- Between me and the wife we ended up with 6 Freddies, 6 Protos, and a few other common Pops.
- Before the show we noticed a guy "cleaning" very oddly almost suspiciously odd while getting our food.  Well then that ended up being the guy that did all the skits all night, he really got into character.
- We will for sure be trying to go again next year.  Fun night, some goodies for us, and some to sell to help pay for the whole thing.

Our body guard (Jordan) didn't understand why we needed a body guard because it was low keyed and it was his first  Fundays. I like the way it was done and there was plenty of security to prevent bad behavior. My daughter n I definitely want to go again but man it was tough getting tickets this year n next year will prolly be worse since you no longer have to worry about bodily injury.

Awesome! I even see the bat in the background; this kid is cool! Good job to his parents! Can't wait to see which characters he will cosplay as for Comic-Con 2017.

I looked around, but the hall was so big it looked like a sea of tables, so I didn't see any focc tables.  I did however run into Miss Kitty before the show, great meeting her!

We started off at Stitch but my daughter went scouting and found us an empty table that coincidently was right next to another table of FoCC members. Some things were just meant to be .

Seeing the new space would be definitely cool.  If it is in early March are you going to combine it with an ECCC trip?  That  would be awesome man.  ;D

First of all mad jealous. Second, I'd go for the current spot, because it's the classic. Butt that's just me.

Thanks everyone for replying! So I decided to do early March/new office space. And a few hours ago, Funko said that the tour date is during ECCC so yep, seeing the new place and doing ECCC. Should be fun! Still working out the other details.
Title: Re: 2016 Funko Fundays event chat
Post by: Transmute Jun on September 23, 2016, 08:25:06 AM
Whoo hoo!

I'm not surprised that the tour date is during ECCC, because they are active at that con and will likely be holding other events as well.

If you would like to write up a report regarding your visit, the FoCC Blog would be very happy to assist you in any way that you need. ;)
Title: Re: 2016 Funko Fundays event chat
Post by: Mario Wario on September 24, 2016, 09:05:26 AM
Yeah, very happy Funko picked that time. Was hoping the company would select early March before I got the email and they did. :)

And sure! Why not! Love to help out the blog.

Will do TJ, thank you! As of right now, Funko wants me to worry about the ECCC badge sale. Fine by me. And yeah Dolphina, I can't wait to talk about it/visit their new HQ. Going to be great! I will do my best in reporting in what I see.
