Hah! if you read down in the blog there is a post by someone who went to the Chicago screening... talking about people cutting in line. I was there and was two people in front of the cutters she was talking about. They were eventually sent to the back of the line. There were about 15-20 of them who cut in front of us. All families and kids.... One of the kids got theirs though.. running around and hit the sales kiosk with his head and cut it open... As a parent I cringe...as a person waiting in line for 3 hrs.. Karma..

I should say I was livid, and that my anger was the only thing keeping me warm. The sheer number of these people was jaw dropping. I did have a friend meet me a little later, yes. But my ticket entitles me to one guest, and she still stood along with the rest of us for several hours. But this was just several dozen people, and the security were all completely useless.

ADarkly

That was me who posted re: Chicago screening. It looked like it was heading down the path of the internets attacking her for being rightfully upset, which is something I've seen before and really hate.

It really sounds like it was handled very unprofessionally, and that sort of thing is bad for business, aside from being very uncool. As for line-cutters, all I can say is 140,000 some people at SDCC every year manage to handle it without anyone getting stabbed in the eye with a pen (okay, except the one time). There's no reason the same common courtesy shouldn't apply elsewhere.

My friend and I got to the theatre at 3:30. First ones there and we were holding spots for my family, there are six of us. We didn't line up right away because there was no designated area. at 4:30 we go to line up and there are two people in front of us. Amazing how 2 people turned into like 15-20. It didn't matter in the end because we ended up getting the best seats in the house. Also met up with Hayvock and his friend. We had an awesome time. I stuck my phone and ipod in my socks so I didn't have to turn them in. A bit upset that there were no posters to be had, but I did get a Tron Legacy t-shirt...

That's odd. I got a poster and a coaster and a USB hub (traded the hub for the coaster, more fool me)
