I think on line lottery is going to happen because:
1. lines are getting longer
2. they start earlier ,  you will have to line up the day before  to get into line
3. when you have to waste a day to line up, thats bad
4.people are abusing ADA because its helps you get in faster

This slash dealers.
So many people causing lines to be capped before general attendees can even make it inside.

I still hope this isn't the way they go for SDCC, but if they do it means that I'll be either trading or buying the signings I want to attend before the con.

I am open for anything they wanna try. I will go with the flow. I’d they don’t do a lotto, I’ll try my best to get in with camping and waiting. If they do a lotto I’ll certainly enter.

I do worry that everyone who is shouting lotto now will be very upset when they get picked for nothing! I had 8 people in my group for NYCC and there are about 20-30 options and I didn’t get picked for anything. I was lucky enough to have some people in my group get picked for a few panels, but no Lego or Funko or signings. Sooooo it’s all left to chance really.

Having said all that, this board is truly a wonderful place full of people helping people so I hope we can all pool our resources and help each other! Honestly, I’ve never been part of a friendlier message board than when I joined up here. I’ve been helped by several great members and I’ve in turn been able to help a bunch of people on here. I’m always humbled by the kindness of all you fellow members!

Yeah I'm screaming Lotto. Yes I know the odds will be very low for many things (especially stuff like marvel signings and funko booth).
But guess what low odds are better than the 0 odds I had when ADA and booth vendors were cutting the line making it all but impossible for regular attendees to try for some stuff.

Yea! At the end of the day, they are gonna do what they are gonna do and nothing we say or do ultimately means much! We all just roll with it and adapt to the new system! We can all help each other!

As long as they do lottery for Hall H as well, then I suppose it's fair.
I have very little interest in sitting in Hall H all day and what leads up to getting in there in the first place, but I'd enter the lottery.
So those of you screaming for lotteries for the thing that I love then please keep screaming across the board to make it fair.

A Hall H lottery would only work for the first panel, as they do not clear the rooms.

It makes no sense for Wondercon. It was well organized with space to line up with the different chutes for each signing.
For SDCC I understand something has to be done, with the exhibitor dual badges for Marvel booth, fake Ada clogging up the real Ada lines and the marina sneak attacks.
I said on Twitter, that a very simple solution would be to give wristbands to everyone that enters via the everything else line through the front doors.

They may be using it as a test run for SDCC.

Can someone with access to the exclusives lottery post screen shots of the process? Pretty please?

That's exactly what they are doing, I'm just frustrated that they are messing with a system at Wondercon that isn't broken.
Now I have to compete against nearly every badge holder instead of a few hundred or so.

I’m all for doing this to be used at comic con, no more waiting/camping out overnight. We’ll be sleeping in bed I paid for heck maybe we don’t even need to get a hotel room downtown. What are odds to get a winning ticket at sdcc if they use a lotto. Say 200 tixs for each signing
