Picking up badges

[stm602.livejournal.com]

My girlfriend and I are getting passes through ticketmaster and since I go to school right down the street from the hotels, I was planning on picking up our badges after class on Thursday.  I've heard that you could pick up another person's badge if you have their ticket plus a signed note giving permission to do so. I was just wondering if anyone could tell me if this is true or not, so we can plan accordingly. Thanks!

Okay, but what lines do I stand in and what order? That's the question to which I can't seem to find an answer. My last name is F and my fiance's is C. Do I go through the regular F line, and then go to the solutions desk for his? Or do I head right to the solutions desk and get both at the same time?

I justy really want to make sure I maximize Con time and not piss off people behind me :/

If I remember correctly from last year, either plan is perfectly fine; in fact, there's often about as much of a line at Solutions as there is at a given letter. If it were me, I'd probably hit the Solutions line first once I get to the split-up poing where one line splits up into the alphabet segments. That way, if they do need you to get your badge at your letter, you can join the end of the F section; and if they don't, you've saved yourself an extra however-many minutes.

Ah, thank you SO much!! I was worried about making trouble and/or having to wait in three lines just because I have no idea what the heck I'm doing, hah. And my Dragon*Con Thursday Night involves Spock cake, a bachelorette party, and Tiki Puka Pukas at Trader Vic's, so I need to get through the line as fast as possible XD

But now I know (and knowing is half the battle).

Glad to be of service, cousin, and have a blast Thursday night: that sounds like a recipe for a GREAT start to Dragon*Con!

( ... "the split-up poing"? What the heck was my brain doing when I was typing that?! Sewing hasn't made me THAT insensible, has it?)
