Alan Smithee posted:fwiw if you get one badge you have 2 because you can get a replacement. You might not want to stand next to each other at checkpoints though. Also it used to be like 60 for a replacement and now it's full price iirc I think the badges are RFID chipped now, so they can "deactivate" duplicates. Not sure what system they'll be using (if any) to ping badges, but something to be aware of if you are pulling something like this.

Re: Wondercon, but also likely relevant to Comiccon: http://www.comic-con.org/toucan/07-your-wondercon-rfid-badge quote:To help prevent scalping and counterfeit badges, WonderCon 2016 badges will be enabled with RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) tags. At various access points in and around the Los Angeles Convention Center, you will encounter gates with a large “Tap Here” indicator (like the example at left). All you need to do is tap your badge briefly to the indicator. When you do, you’ll get a green light that indicates you’ve been validated and are okay to enter. When you leave, you must also tap your badge out so you may re-enter when you return. In theory it makes sense, but I can't wait to see how this affects traffic in practice

In the words of Othello... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvkBvzpbBPs&t=36s I actually saved the website in an offline format last year so that I could practice my fast drop-down box selection skills, which already hadn't failed to net me my top choice for the past few years. But now...

It's only a matter of time before there's a lottery system for each day of Hall H.  (Not that that would affect me in any way. Indigo Ballroom 4 life).

Still waiting for mine. Anyone else in the same boat? Not sure who I'd need to contact if I don't see anything in my inbox by tomorrow.

Rocco Botte/Mega 64 should be there as usual. Always worth stopping by for a laugh.

Followed the stream of people out of Ballroom 20 after Killing Joke, down the stairs outside of Sails, and onto the street. There wasn't anything to tap out the badge on, and when I asked a Comiccon person after I'd realized, they said "Don't tap out." (I.e. don't worry about it). Do they reset the system every night or something?

Kevin Smith line still hasn't moved. Still emptying room of Marvel people. I think it was supposed to start 45 minutes ago. Poor guy getting shafted again this year.
