An online lottery can help quantify interest. Once the line gets dispersed, after all the WB ticket draws and wristbands, you don't know how many actualy were in the queue. I'm sure groups get in line (and online) sometimes to help the odds for a small number in their group. That's viable since WB allowed you to give your winning wristband to someone else, they just have to be present at placement. Not sure how they would limit that, if they haven't done so prior years.Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk
Online lotteries drastically decreases success odds because now you are going against the other 100k plus attendees and your destiny is based on an algorithm - not your hand in a bag.
You have to get your hand in the bag and CCI poor job with line management the last years have shown an inability or unwillingness to improve that. First CCI should actually use the RFiD tech as when I was in line for Funko we were led into the building (tapped), led through thr building to the back and exited down the stairs and then went into our respective lines. To get to all drawa you had to tap again to reach Sails - but when we headed outside we found a crap ton of people already inline who never lined up nor went through thr building. Security told us that "yeah people got through. We are aware of it and no more can get through'. But the Funko line was already massive and soon after all spots were taken. When speaking to security they 1) did not clear out the back to make sure people didn't head into line who shouldn't be there. 2) Did not use the RFID tech to ensure that everyone coming up the stairs into Sails had the punches from the front and the exit - technically the only people outside of ADA that should be there. 3) proceeded to blame Funko and exclusive companies for the line cutters and not their inability to do their job. Despite this - I think an online aystem is a wrong idea. The tools are there for a better system already they just need to use them. Getting competent people running the lines and using RFID properly would do wonders for line management. Online will result in more people trying for things they aren't willing to invest time into - making it harder for folks who feel that whatever is their #1 draw of the show. Also a charitable donation could price people out who scraped by to attend. Putting a paygate for free parts of the show is a no go IMO. Sent from my LG-H812 using Tapatalk
I hate to say this but I seriously think wristbands are needed for the front line to control the jumping in line at the back of Sails. Yes people may not be pleased about that but the back of Sails has morphed into a potential problem area. Make everyone go through the front and Sails before going to the back. Especially the first 1-2k attendees.
I prefer Hall H over getting autographs because I have been unlucky when I tried for signings...including the 2015 Legendary booth fiasco where I was right by the elevators and somehow the line was capped by the time I got there. At least you know if you're getting in to Hall H. I personally think they should do a lottery for 2/3 of the signing tickets and let the other third go to people willing to camp. You could get in if you're devoted. But I also know that lotteries breed a black market. I went to SLCC when they had Chris Evans and people were selling their panel seat (won through a lottery) on craigslist/Facebook.
If they go the online lottery route, they might be doing this to stop the fake Ada people.I hate the fake Ada but I hate the online lottery as well.Why not make Hall H online lottery as well to clear up the people camping out etcNot sure if there is space but WB should have chutes like Wondercon not just one line.And as I've said multiple times one wristband per person per day for WB signings.
Please note that the WonderCon online Exclusives Portal will launch on February 28th and at that time WonderCon Anaheim badge holders can log-in and create a list of exclusive signings they’d be interested in attending. On March 19th, WonderCon attendees will be selected at random and receive an email confirmation with more details.
