A couple days ago, Funko had a Q & A on their twitter page, and I asked them when tickets will go on sale for Funko Fundays and they responded
"Follow us here and you'll be the first to know....''
I immediately placed their notifications to alert my phone, and have been freaking out everytime it buzzes lol
Does anyone remember when they have gone on sale, or what the procedure has been the last couple years? Would love to try to go again and have fun!
admin edit to include "SDCC" in the title
-
Last year they went on sale on 6/1 and immediately sold out.
-
They'll give plenty of notice for the ticket sale date. They used to announce it on the Funko forum and tickets would gradually sell out (30 minutes to an hour), but last year they gave a set date and time and the tickets sold out instantly. I know some people said if you didn't click within the first 3 seconds you were immediately put on the wait list.
-
I tried for tickets last year, was out on the wait list immediately. I did receive an email to buy a ticket from, the waitlist but I needed more than one and could buy one. We will be trying again this year.

This is the one i am most nervous for. 1 click and you're either in or out!

I got so lucky last year as I was able to get tickets once it went live. Fingers crossed this year I get lucky again.

since last year was the 1st time trying for fundays tickets, there was no pressure. i had no idea what to expect from fundays. but now that i am a funatic, the pressure is going to kill me this year waiting/trying to get tickets. :(
also i hope we all can get tickets this year. :D
-
How many can you buy at once? Would be interesting to see if we can do a funko fundays ticket buying group. Didnt' participate in last years sale though, so don't know the specifics.
I remember the first year I went, I felt very intimidated. All the groups and knowledge and games. OMG. That in itself, was stressful

Hey CaseyJones. Its like running into someone at the airport, seeing you on this forum versus funkofunatics. you watch. the shop exclusive tomorrow during the hotel sale will be a gold qui-gon jinn pop edition 12.
good luck with the hotels tomorrow. and to everyone else.

Any one interested in budding up to try get Funko tickets?
I only require 1 so would be happy to buddy up and if I get in first when tickets go for sale I'd buy 2 tickets (one for the other person) or if the other person gets in first they buy 2 tickets (one for me).
Basically given how quickly tickets sold out last year it increases our chances of getting a ticket. (although still v unlikely)

great i'm just getting ready for the hotel sale but i'll drop you a mail after :)
The tickets sell out so quick we might still be left out of luck when the sale does happen but anything to help increase the chances!
-
i am looking for a buddy too.
:-\
super reliable. over 300 perfect feedback on ebay. (bad for my wallet all as a buyer).
-
First year trying for this, fingers crossed!
-
I am looking for people as well. I think there are 5 of us at home that will trying, so potentially 10 tickets? I have no idea how the sale went last year (read ALL 23 pages on the 2016 thread) but it seems to have gone fairly quickly. Also saw that you could change the name on the tickets, just can't transfer. If someone can help me with the logistics of last year, maybe I can think of a way to do a buying group, like open reg? [member=1]alyssa[/member] Is this something that I could put together?

The sale last year sold out instantly, so this year won't be any different.
Not sure what you mean by transfer. But last year my 2nd ticket when I purchased them I put my daughter's name and email address, in which she decided not to go, so i sold it to my friend and was able to replace her name and email with his in which he got a new email for the ticket.

My bf and I were both trying last year, they were instantly sold out. :'( :'(

So each person gets a name and an email address? Did you have time at check out to do that, or is getting tickets as quickly as you can charge them to your card?

i changed the names after buying the tickets.
yes add tickets to your cart and check out ASAP.

I might be interested in this. Didn't even know about it until well after the fact last year since I was so concerned about Conan tickets.
Me and my friend would be willing to partner up too.
-

So you didn't have to put in any names during checkout?
I am just trying to think of the best way to do a buying group, after the fact. Obviously, doing a buying group during the sale is out of the question. . But if people are willing to buy 2, and then go to the buying group and see who needs them.

no you didnt if i remember correctly but that was almost a year ago since i used eventbrite. i would recommend you create an eventbrite account already and be logged into your account before the sale.
-
last year the sale lasted 2 min, that's if the do the same as last year, who knows? last year there where very few extra ticked being around, many people missed out

I saw that! Someone even got off the wait list like 3 days before the event even!!!
I just think those, including myself, that are just planning on buying one.. why not see if we can all help each other out..

I would think that you would already be there.. so much to do besides Fundays, even if you don't have a badge
But are two people trying for 2 tickets?

no just me trying to get 2 tickets for us. my wife wouldn't be fast enough to get 2 tickets. :(

Last year was my first one and it was a blast! So looking forward to seeing if I can get tix this year.

It seems the key is to make sure your account is logged in and ready to go to get tickets. If it's event brite, it should store CC info.. I haven't received my total head count in my group for how many ppl are trying vs how many we need, but I hope it's enough to help others out!
-
Please add me as I'm in the same boat, I'll try for others and if someone has an extra, please pass along to me.
-
I'd love some help with this. I'm just looking for a single ticket!!
-
Those that are looking for a single ticket, should definitely try for two! That way we can actually help those out, and not just submit for one.
-
I'm in for helping or receiving help.

I'm in a group of 6....fingers crossed at least 3 of us get through!

Hmmmm, can't wait to hear something about Fundays '17. For sure I'm trying for it! I'm a golden ticket winner from last year, so I have to defend my title, esp. IF they have another contest similar like last year, hehe! ;) (I'm sure the other 3 winners are thinking the same!)
-
First way to get tickets is live now. Lottery for their board members that meet certain criteria. Unfortunately I missed the mark.
(If anyone does qualify and needs a +1, I'm your guy!)

I'm stoked they are doing that for the board members though. It worked well for Fright Night.

So with that post, Lord Beerus (aka Funko Fundays) is back from his nap. >:D

I entered on the Funatics board, but want two tickets, so I would not be able to help anyone out. I have been on that board since 2014 (really 2012, but my account got messed up-my own fault-and I had to start over). Fingers crossed that I get something that way, but I have a backup for Friday night (assuming they do the DCU Animated movie screening). I may try when tickets go live, but it's gotten so difficult that I am not going to get my hopes up.

I sent an email to Funko's website. I hope they finally activate my account. I created an account last year, but never got the email activating it. I just re-created the account again with the same username and email. I hope they finally accept me! Been driving me nuts that I can't have a member on FunkoFanatics.

Hotels should become available during waitlist. Might not be downtown but I doubt you won't be able to find any hotel. There's still general sale of Fundays tickets as well so you're not out of luck. And if you know anyone that gets through and is allowed to purchase presale then you can always inquire to be someone's +1.
It's super stressful not having everything set and ready to go but there's always hope.

Not sure how much 'stuffing of the face' there will be this year. The email says there will be 'heavy appetizers' but doesn't mention 'dinner'.
What is a 'heavy appetizer'? Lead-filled hot dogs wrapped in crescent rolls? 20-pound mini-quiches? What?
-
When my work has parties, they say "heavy appetizers" and it turns out it's a bunch of stations of small plates of different types of food.....which you just get as many plates as you want to make it a dinner. LOL

I just checked and last year they said "heavy appetizers" too lol. Last year, that seemed to mean small hot sandwiches and cookies. At least, that's what I ate. :P
There was sort of a mini buffet set up in the back and they seemed to have a good amount of food through out the night.

Sounds good! I can deal with hot sandwiches and cookies! I'll probably be in Hall H all day Friday, so a hot meal would be appreciated.

I had sliders and some pasta last year. Small portions but definitely enough to call it dinner

Eating at sdcc is an annual struggle for me so I always appreciate events where food is included. It's a nice break from granola bars and convention center hot dogs.

I think that is a food blog, so naturally they would be pickier.
Just checked out the Funatics forum and I don't see *anyone* who said they didn't get an email. I think everyone who applied was able to get tickets.
Aaaaaannnnnddddd.... they say that Fundays this year will be 80s themed! I am going to have to find a cool outfit to wear!

If I go, I hope to see all of you there. But I say this every year, then end-up not going. SDCC I plan for so much, but then so many things pop-up. It's like impossible to plan things. In all my years of attending SDCC, I'm sad how many "special event," "offsite", and parties I've gotten invited to, or tickets to, and had to pass last minute. I keep hoping SDCC becomes 1 full week long (I'm only half kidding!)

80s themed?!? Ok, now I wish I would have signed up for the pre-sale. I haven't gone in a couple years because it got too crazy and I've been going to the DC Animated Premiere instead, but I heard they got things (relatively) under control last year. Oh well, there's still the general sale!

I noticed that they will be assigning tables as you check in. I assume to try and dissuade lining up, but I don't know how much it will help. People just like to line up!

and yes people love to line up especially since some are already in SDCC mode, so it comes natural.

It's not SDCC without lining-up. Doesn't matter if it's an offsite, still, same thing holds true.

My friend was able to secure us two tickets today. Very excited for my third year in a row. My first trip to fun days was in 2015 and although fun, I was frustrated by the throwing of product into the crowds and the pushing and shoving nature of it. We also encountered rampant stealing and shady behavior from some gross people. Last year was way more relaxed with the prize patrols coming directly to your table to drop off prizes. In 2015, I got the three boxed pops and at shirt. Last year I ended up with 6 pops, a prototype, an oversized figure and a handful of buttons...it was far more diplomatic and seemed more equitable.
The food is never the priority, but there was quite a bit of variety and you could easily count it as a meal, despite the precursor of it being "heavy appetizers." The bars were never that crowded, but it was harder than expected to get some water.
The entertainment was ever changing and fun...there was so much going on, it was a complete sensory overload. It's funny to me that it's now maybe the thing I'm looking forward to the most...good luck to those of you who are going to try for tickets in the general sale. It is a complete spectacle that will give you a million stories to tell later.

I got lucky and got tickets through the general sale last year! It was my first time going and I thought the event was amazing! We were near the end of the line and were super rushed to get through the photos and food lines before the event started so if the Funko Gods shine upon me again this year I'm gonna try to get in line a bit earlier! For the amount of people I was impressed that I was able to get enough food to count as dinner and drinks easily without missing out on any of the fun on stage!
-
Glad to see so many of us get tickets. We should probably plan a time and place to meet up so we can check-in at the same time and get some FoCC tables going.

Hope I can get in on the line up after the general sale as I want so lucky

And the link will be posted on Twitter and Facebook. I'm guessing at 10am? (Unless I am reading it wrong there?) They are doing some different things for the sale. If this is the way, posting the link at that time, Microsoft did this for their E3 Fanfest a few weeks ago--it works just gotta be fast, which is a no duh. They did, however, only used Twitter. Too bad Funko is not using one social media site for this. Two bring in more traffic, if they are doing it this way.
Anyway, time to get ready!

I guess I won't dig out my leg warmers quite yet ;D ;D ;D

Either way, it should be something fun.

I think that press release says 'Intergalactic Superheroes' of some such. Captain Eo, perhaps? That would also be 80s... ;)
Posting on FB and Twitter seems like a bad idea. No matter what, one site will have it BEFORE the other, giving one group of people an advantage...

Agreed. Using Facebook or Twitter only--just 1 social media site--would avoid this. Both, yikes...
-
Good Luck everyone! This will be my first year attempting to get tickets. Knowing the time and date just made me 10x more nervous.
-
Sold out in 30 secs...last year. hmmm hope everyone has a Delorean to hop to future for some really fast internet.

Don't think any of my Melmacian technology will work....

Good news is.. it will be a very short meeting.

This will also be my first time attempting to get tickets to this event. It's intimidating! Hoping for the best, but not getting my hopes up :)

I got lucky and got Xbox Fanfest Tickets a few weeks back (which dropped at the exact same time as the Downtown Hotel Sale, smh)...let's see if my luck holds out for Funko.

Do you think Funko will use Eventbrite again?

They are using eventbrite

yes funko will use eventbrite again.
they used eventbrite for the presale tickets people bought on Tuesday for those who qualified at www.funkofunatic.com.

Same here. Wanted to try for it last year, but ended up having to cancel our whole trip to SDCC. Figured since we're staying at the MGH and it's happening there, it's worth a shot! At least it falls right at the end of my lunch time, so no "meeting" for me. 😂
-
I utterly failed at getting tickets last year, so this is my second attempt at attending. I don't have a lot of hope as I'm trying from my phone at work, but I just want to experience Fundays once lol.

2 drink tickets for each person. Regular types of drinks.

So can they hide the listing for the event till a certain time? Just wondering that even if not posted you could find the listing so you don't have to watch both twitter and Facebook?

This is what I would like to know. I have heard rumblings that a few people last year found the link early? I thought the link was given out last year with the announcement?
Is anyone willing to share the pre-sale link they got? Maybe this link will also be used for regular tickets?
Thanks!

I'll be at work Wednesday 10 am. Will the funko sale be listed that morning when i search for funko fridays in the eventbrite app? Is it one of those things where if i click on the link on facebook/twitter, it will ask me if i want to open up in eventbrite app?

If they do it the same way they did last year the eventbrite page was set up and I just went straight to it with the app on my phone however not sure if it will be the same this year! When I checked this morning the event wasn't listed yet!

since i didnt use the app myself last year, i'm not sure how it will work when clicking on the link once funko posts it on Wednesday.

I suggest try open other links for events on the site to get an idea of how they open

No one knows your guess is as good as mine. Last time they pre posted an Eventbrite link in advance. Not so this year.

Not sure if I like the announced sale with the stress or the first couple sales years ago that were completely random.

What is the entertainment like at the Fundays? (besides winning prizes)?
-
[member=5005]ripresa[/member] I only attended last year but they had photos, food and a prize wheel at the entrance then it was sort of a game-show like atmosphere. The host, which I believe was the Funko founder, was hilarious and kept the crown energized! They had games that involved people eating creamed corn for prizes, a celebrity impersonator come out in between give-aways and awards they gave to Funatics and showed videos and pics of the top collectors! It really was a blast and I highly recommend trying for tickets if your a Funko fan at all!
-
For anyone getting hype for the ticket sale and wanting to re-live or just experience the magic from last year here is an awesome video from Funko: https://youtu.be/F3R4prrhoMU

The Funko Twitter feed is kinda silent of late...

Can't transfer. The name of the person who bought them is the name of the ticket holder and you can't change the name and you will be asked for ID at the door.

Glad Mel mentioned this that way if anyone is helping someone get a ticket they need to make sure and have it under the correct name of the person attending! Definitely deters people trying to purchase and sell at a profit though!
-
The second ticket is also an and 1 ticket so they have to enter with the person that purchased the tickets, a bit of a departure from last year.

All set and ready to go! Nothing much else to do but be lucky. :/

Note, there is no "second name of the person attending", the second ticket is considered a +1...

Why can't I change the name on my second ticket?
Tickets will only have the name of the buyer. The second ticket is looked at as a "+1" of the buyer!

Got my 2 - was annoyed they didn't post the link RIGHT at 10am so I had to refresh and panicked for a hot second but I came prepared, signed into my eventbrite login already so I didn't have to fill anything out just hit confirm :)
As for waitlist - my friend and maybe even I are still unsure if we'll actually go in case something comes up that night that we can't miss since Friday is always such a big night so I feel like waitlist people should have hope that people may refund/cancel their tickets in favor of something else

Sigh, no ticket. First time trying ever. Well... let me know if you need a +1 :)

I'm a funko fan and my friend is interested but would be more likely to surrender her ticket in favor of a party or something that comes up so we won't really know til like the week of the con but I think I am for sure going unless something insane pops up I can't miss - less likely since Nerd HQ isn't happening this year - if it turns out I need a +1 I will certainly post in the forum!
Just wanted to give waitlist people some hope as I know more things are announced the closer we get to the con

Yes, it was just as brutal this year as it was last year.

I wonder if it's partly network connection, and since I'm here in Texas, I had a few more hops ;-)
I felt like I clicked almost immediately after the link went up on Facebook.

I used Twitter and was also able to secure tickets so it might be network related from where the user is connected.

Lots of people got in through the waitlist last year, including me. There's always hope that you'll get in. If not, then there's always Funko South to camp out for.

-
Man, so many angry people on social media complaining about the sale. I get it, just good grief. Funko can only do so much, besides doing a lottery. But even with that, people would complain. It's the demand--so many want to go; small number of tickets available.

I think at least with the lottery you feel you've a chance. When it goes so quickly the way it did you feel like you don't get a fair shot. I mean I was on the link and checking out with 15 seconds of the link going up and I got sold out. I don't know how I could be any quicker. If they do a lottery though they'd have issues with people trying to trick the system with duplicate entries though so not a sure fire way to improve things either.
That said reality is no matter what way they do it as demand exceeds supply some people will be unhappy. I missed out on tickets myself originally but was lucky enough to have a friend who had a friend who got in and could offer me their +1 spot.

Speaking of the L word - here is a funko giveaway that everyone can enter :)
https://funko.com/blogs/news/enter-to-win-one-hundred-pop-s
-
Funko has tried to accomadate. Three years ago it was at the Wyndham and it held 700-750 people. The next year they moved it to the Hyatt and sold 1000 tickets and I believe last year was 1200-1300 tickets. There is only so much space and so many tables they can fit in.
All that being said, I can't wait for Fundays, it will be fun. I just went to FDO LA a couple of weeks ago and it is fun getting together with people you know who all have a common interest. I wonder if there will be any Golden Tickets this year. A trip to the opening of Funko's new Hq and store would be pretty awesome. [member=2389]Mario Wario[/member] won one of those golden tickets last year and did a great write up that is here on the forum; if you haven't read it you should.
-
I have to say, even though I didn't personally qualify, I think Funko did the right thing by allowing people who met a certain qualification on the forum have the first chance to buy tickets. I don't know what % they gave out (it seemed like everyone who applied got one), but it at least insured that a good amount of the people will be the hard core collectors and not just scalpers. I've been critical of a lot things Funko has done with the lotteries etc - but I thought that was a really good move on their part.
Good luck to those on the waitlist! And I look forward to seeing many of you there!
-
I should prob know.... but what's Funko South?
Funko South is the building that Funko has in Downtown San Diego, it's an office, not a store. It's close to the convention center.
-
Of our group of 4, we qualified for two early bird tickets, which was very generous of the Funko Team. I honestly didn't have much hope that our other two folks would get in, but we succeeded in the weirdest twist. We all clicked on the link and were all told it was sold out and placed us on the wait list. Thinking we had missed the boat, we all start commiserating about how much fun it would have been if we all could have gone. My one friend said, "You know, there is a chance that if someone who got tickets, but took too much timeat the check out screen, they could time out and the tickets could drop back into the queue." He wasn't even convinced that was true and it was a bit of a stab in the dark. We also thought that any tickets that "timed out" May just convert to people on the wait list. At about 15 after the sale was sold out, my other friend announced that she just purchased two tickets. She just kept refreshing, and the link changed from "join the wait list" to "tickets available"...she quickly clicked the link and sure enough had two tickets in her basket. We all thought she was joking until she produced a screen shot of her completed order. So, against bizarre odds, all four of us get to go. It was somewhat surreal.

im hoping there will be a golden ticket to go the grand opening in Aug, that would be awesome to win.

I was reading some of those. Seems like the same old same old post SDCC badge sale.. people getting locked out. Supply/demand, complaints about system, they should cap it and sell one ticket at most to each person and not two when the next guy complains they need four tickets for their family. Can't please everyone?

Haven't you learned? That's sadly how people react when they don't get something. Nobody realizes that there are only 1500 or whatever amount of tickets. Same goes with SDCC badges, the hotel lottery, and everything else. It's ridiculous all the complaining people do. It seems like everybody wants to find someone to blame. They just need to realize what you said. The demand outweighs the supply. Simple as that.
I prefer Funko not go to the lottery. I want them to keep their system now. I want LESS lotteries. Lotteries make it easier for multiple entries and people gaming the system. I prefer everything to be first come first served. There will always be server issues and other problems when that many people hammer a ticketing site, but that's what I want for everything SDCC related. No more lotteries.

I didn't get any and I'm ok with that, even tho I click the picture first then noticed that I needed to click the link lol. probably cost me a tickets but I'm sure ill find something else fun to do. I'm just glad I'm able to have the chance to attend CCI

Of our group of 4, we qualified for two early bird tickets, which was very generous of the Funko Team. I honestly didn't have much hope that our other two folks would get in, but we succeeded in the weirdest twist. We all clicked on the link and were all told it was sold out and placed us on the wait list. Thinking we had missed the boat, we all start commiserating about how much fun it would have been if we all could have gone. My one friend said, "You know, there is a chance that if someone who got the tickets, but take too much time in the check in screen, they could time out and the tickets could drop back into the queue." He wasn't even convinced that was true and it was a bit of a stab in the dark. We also thought that any tickets that "timed out" May just convert to people on the wait list. At about 15 after the sale was sold out, my other friend announced that she just purchased two tickets. She just kept refreshing, and the link changed from "join the wait list" to "tickets available"...she quickly clicked the link and sure enough had two tickets in her basket. We all thought she was joking until she produced a screen shot of her completed order. So, against bizarre odds, all four of us get to go. It was somewhat surreal.
Haha s**t I tried that for a good half hour just refreshed every minute or so and it never worked. Damnit!

Same thing happened to my friend! We were a group of 3 though.. She got in at 15 after also.. She refreshed her fingers off and got her and her friend a ticket.
I joined the waitlist myself but still tried to refresh for an hour, hoping that at every 15 minutes something may happen. Then it finally told me to stop lol

I've been trying to think of something for the contest Funko is running to win tickets and realized I have no talent or special set of skills LOL Is anyone else entering to perform a feat of power, demonstration of ability, display of ridiculousness?
-
No, i'd rather not act like a trained monkey for these tickets. I'll find something else to do offsite :)
-
Funko does seem to want people to act like asses to get things. This is why I previously didn't do Fundays b/c I heard it was a lot of that to get goodies. Once I heard they chilled on that business of encouraging people to act ridiculous, that's when I wanted to go LOL
-
my plan at last year's fundays was to chill in the back and not act like an idiot or desperate for toys, but luckily they just did random draws for prizes
-
There was a huge shift in their overall prize delivery from two years ago to last year. I hated he throwing of pops and people pushing and shoving. And while you were chasing after volunteers for prizes, people were actually stealing things off people's tables. It was so disappointing seeing this behavior.
Last year, things were more democratic and the funko team brought prizes to tables individually. They also let you spin wheels for prizes and draw cards for gifts. It's was wayyyyyyy more pleasant. I really saw some deplorable behavior the prior year.
-
Congrats to everyone that got a ticket! We tried again this year & got shutout, again. Oh well, I did sign up for the waitlist & from the input on here it looks like I might have a shot.
If we don't I do hope everyone has a great time & I can't wait to hear all about it

Last year people walked right up to the large Pops and stole them right in front of Funko staff. It was really weird. They at first were standing there "protecting" them and then grabbed them and walked out. It was shureal to watch. Everyone was in such shock, nobody did anything. ???

Woa wow how many people are in attendance to Fundays? I imagine it's quite small but it's starting to sound like a much bigger do than I thought if something like that is happening without higher ups noticing

Wait, what? Are we talking about the 18" Retro Freddy's or some other 'large Pop'?
People just walked up and grabbed them? That's crazy. I assumed that they were bestowed upon the chosen ones.

lol, i hope they don't have to fly back home. they would need to purchase a seat for it. LOL ;)
-
I had no idea we could've taken those big Dorbz I thought they were given away as prizes! That would've been well worth the shipping cost!!!
-
I thought those were just decor for the lobby. People can tend to get a little gross in this kind of environment. I wonder if they came from the funko building in San Diego or they were shipped in for the party and it was easier to just let people take them so it's less stuff to ship back?
-
Even though I know it is a longshot has anyone gotten any word on the waitlist? And am I the only one still randomly checking Eventbrite to see if tickets pop up?! ;D ??? :'( :D
-
I haven't heard or seen anything on twitter, FB, or the funatic board.
-
I'm going to call shenanigans on the giant display Dorbz (no they weren't Pops) being stolen. I did not see Lou Ferrigno at Fundays and I've also seen plenty of photos of Funko with all the display items chilling at the office. Maybe you saw people stealing the Mega Dorbz?
-
The table I was at last year was pretty much right next to that display, and after the event was over you could see people gravitating that direction, and eventually people carrying the large items out w/them. No one said (that I could see) anything.
-
I was on my way to surgery when the tickets went on sale. If anyone has a ticket and ends up not able to use it, PLEASE let me know. I've been trying to get a ticket for the past 3 years.

Ticket names must match photo IDs. All returned tickets go into standby lists. Also a few of us have also offered to be anyone's plus one lol. All the same good luck.

I haven't heard of anyone getting off the waitlist yet. Congrats on preview night, if you end up with room on your purchase list let me know :).

i heard with the presale for funatic forum members and the general sale, they only available tickets will be ones that people cancel their tickets. not like last year when a lot got off the waitlist. remember this is just what i heard, so total speculation on people's part, this could be totally wrong in the end.

Some folks on funatic are getting off the wl.

Don't take this wrong but there's ALOT of people asking to be +1s (myself included) that are long time contributing members. Unfortunately even being around it's not a high chance that anyone will get in. Good luck all the same.

Most of the people who got in the initial wave already have +1's. Those getting in off the wait list are only able to buy 1 ticket, so i would say the odds are almost 0 to get in at this point.
-
Any words on the waitlist? Or that happens when it gets closer to comic con?

So far I've only seen about 4 tickets released through the waitlist, looks like it's happening as people request refunds so unless plans change for people not many are going to be made available :(

It's possible people may change plans as Conan tickets are released, or when the panel schedule comes out.

I believe it's done in order of when you submitted your waitlist request.

Coincidence or not. Seemed like a large number got off waitlist after Conan Friday tickets went out.
Good luck to everyone. Tickets were released up to the week of if I am not mistaken from the latest intelligence reports lol.

Messaged! I just want in for the fun!
-
Did someone cancel on you and now you have an available +1 to Funko Fundays?
Since tickets sold out at an impossibly fast rate, and I missed out this year, I'd be more than happy to help you get rid of yours for a fair price.
Thanks! :)
-
Already a pretty big thread for this...
-
My +1 cancelled on me so I'm looking for someone to come along with me. I'm ideally looking for either a return on the face value or some sort of equivalent in Funkos (i.e. Conan funkos / if you have access to the funko booth preview night we could work something out). You would be able to keep the box of fun + of course whatever you win during the event. Please PM for details and I'll update this post when I've found my +1. Also 1 caveat, I won't be able to get to Fundays until like 7:45pm so we wouldn't be getting a super close table =P
Ticket claimed by board member. Best of luck to everyone else for finding one =)

I have at least 1 maybe 2 extra, of the 4 passes I have for the SOLD OUT Stargate 20th Anniversary Fandom Party Hosted by Legion M on Thursday 7:30pm to 10pm, at the Side Bar and would trade access/pass for 1 Funko Funday pass (I'd also help in the cost of the pass). PM if interested.

So you are willing to trade 1 free pass to a fan party for a $150 ticket to the hardest thing to get into during SDCC?
(watch out for the flood of takers!)
-
I'd certainly cover the cost of the ticket. Just throwing it out there as an option if there are any Stargate fans as it sold out in 30 secs. Shot in the dark if you will ;)

Having attended on Friday, yes there is some benefit to arriving early. You have time to eat a free dinner, snacks, and desserts. And then more time to play the pre-event games for prizes. But that's about the biggest benefit.

I successfully did it but it was cutting it really close. I didn't have service in the ballroom where fundays was going on and so I couldn't check for updates and just had to ballpark it and then run to try to meet them in time. My friend kept trying to check the Hall H line situation but even via twitter it was hard to tell where they were in line so I would just be mindful of that. I think I left around 9:40 and barely barely made it to get a wristband

It was almost cult-like how intense of an experience it was. People were SO vocal and charged up! :)
A real testament, both to how much Funko leadership is willing to say "thank you" to it's customers during that night, as well as the level of passion Funko Funatics have for the products they collect.
Something I will never forget and hope to attend again in 2018!

I agree. Cult-like. In the best sense. It has been the highlight of my sdcc the last two years. There really is nothing like it. Its like a concert combined with a forum combined with crazy giveaways.
