-The demand for tickets at noon was roughly quadruple what we experienced in 2014.

I don't think we cant say that exactly.  According to Lance we know there were 4 times as many computers logged on attempting to get tix.  How many people had more then one computer logged on trying for tix?  I had two.
I venture to say there were more people trying on line because there weren't any brick&morter sales but I don't think we can say there were 4 time as many people trying.

This is because there was no presale this time around.  NYCC crammed everybody (last year's attendees and new attendees combined) into one day.  Plus there are also less brick-and-mortar buying opportunities this year, except for Midtown Comics.

Can you imagine what it would be like if SDCC eliminated prereg and had EVERYBODY buy a badge in one general sale???  That's what yesterday was like!

Personally I had three going: Chrome and Firefox on my laptop, and Safari on my iPhone.  Chrome was my winning browser and I was able to get all the way through to check out (had to refresh on the credit card info page once.)

I had one computer going, one browser, no buying groups, and I got my receipt by 12:08.
