Where were you if I may ask? This year they did things so different. It used to be upstairs at the sails was let in first. And those lines are so tightly controlled that people can't cut there. (Aside from the people who join their friends/party later) Now people are coming in from the other lines at the same time? That really screwed a few people I know who camped the everything line. So I'm curious at what time they let the other entry points in.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I would prefer online lottery for hall h attendance. I think eventually, this is what will happen. There's a similar process for signing on to popular Gencon events.
How bout offering a streaming service that's only available at the con (some very tight geolocation technology perhaps) and to badge holders where the footage can also be shown.
A stamp on your hand before entering sails to prove that you are entering the autograph lines by official, supervised means. Ideally that means that they would notice if anyone joined before the front of the EE line
If there was some way to rope off the hall h line better it may help with the cutting/large groups. I know since it wraps around all around the convention center and the marina that this would be rather difficult but maybe they could set up a better designated area. Also maybe not allow tents. Was sure there was a rule for no tents though and people seem to not listen anyways. They just need stricter measures.
]This is one of the areas that interests me The group I belong to is very strict concerning the 1 to 5 ratio. We also have seen other groups swell beyond out gusesstimations of what their numbers should be. We can not monitor the other groups since no one person was monitoring the other groups for the entire line camp.I suspect a lot of people are developing ideas. It in essence I think the plane will have to include better monitoring of group during set up of the lines AND the follow through of checking before entering hall H.
I like the idea of a quick hand stamp to prove you went through the front first before getting in the ticket pull lines. As long as they actually enforce the stamp that would keep people from jumping in from the marina. Or have that somehow tied into the rfid scan in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't think an online lottery works. The barrier to join the lottery is too low and thus many people would throw their hat in to see if they can win just in case. As has been shown by the numerous RSVP only events, people don't follow through and show up. Then those events are left scrambling for people to fill seats. If people have to wait overnight for a wristband, chances are they will show up. One way to deal with an online lottery is to have a penalty for not showing up. Then people will think twice if they aren't before going for the lottery. It could be something like you lose your priority status to get tickets next year. It could be a $100 reservation deposit. You show up, you get your deposit back. You don't and you lose. Either way, people will still camp out overnight for standby. Just like for Conan.
