the line thing is a huge issue. you ask a staff member, they say an hour before, but then you show up an hour before and the line is already capped at 12:05 for a 1pm panel. Consistency between all the tracks would be helpful. Also whoever is leading the line, it would nice if they knew what the line was for. I asked a staff member, "Is this the line for John Barrowman?" and he said, "Well, we have torchwood here ,and star trek and some other people later." I was like, thanks for explaining dragoncon to me, but I meant this specific line.

I will say that a lot less people got off an escalator and just stopped, staring around like they were lost children. Which is usually my biggest complaint.

There were problems with the line staff to be sure. I was at the Barrowman panel on Friday, and when I showed up the line was told that the event was full and maybe there would be an overflow room. Then we were told that there was no overflow and no one was getting in and to disperse. After another minute or two of talk between the staff, they then let in about 20-30 people. In the back of the panel, there were still quite a few seats available. I didn't even have to sit next to anyone.

When I showed up to that panel, i had to argue with teh lady that my friend was holding me a seat. She said, we told them that they couldn't do that. When I finaly got in, my friend had my seat, and there was two next to me open, she told me they had never said no holding seats, and then there was a emtpy seat next to me the whole time that they didn't fill.
