Non Pre-Registered Badges...?
« on: August 17, 2009, 01:13:01 pm »
I was extremely sad this morning to find out that I was wrong in thinking that the last day for Pre-Reg was the 20th not the 16th... awesome.  So to any of you who may know, I have a question.  Generally how long is the line if you are not pre-registered?  I recall waiting in the pre-reg line for like an hour the last year I went (2006)... but didn't pay attention to the line for those not pre-registered.  Thanks in advance.

Well, I remember waiting at least three hours in the Pre-Registered line last year, and from what I could tell the line for the non-pre-registered was even longer than that one by a good few blocks. That's just if my memory isn't failing. It'll probably be about...3-5 hour wait unless you get there mega early and are near the front or something but that's just my estimate. I might be really off.

So... how early do people usually arrive to try to not be at the end of the monster line?

It depends, anywhere from 6-9 is what I've heard but maybe I've just not been paying attention.

That may be true but people do try to go early to avoid lines.
Last year we got there at 7 AM and STILL she waited four hours.

We were also told that they might be turning people away due to limits met so that kinda helped us get in line early. That was not a good night x.x I got three hours of sleep. I went to bed at midnight and got up at three to get ready and drive them there x.x
