I agree that the lines are my primary issue--often times i'd find myself waiting for an hour only to be denied entry. Perhaps a good remedy, for the larger panels, are to have flat screen TV's outside of the halls that have a live feed to the panels themselves. At least those still waiting in line could still listen and see the panels (especially for those that tap into Dragon*Con TV). I know the logistics of doing this, not to mention the price, might be high...but i think it would be worth the payoff in the end.

Another suggesting to to always list the capacity of the room on that specific room's panel itinerary; and maybe even have the queue count down so we'll always knows when the lines are at capacity...no need to wait if you know you won't get in. I've missed many panels in the past because of this when i could have been off doing something else.

On a more positive note...registration was a breeze. I picked up my pre-ordered badge on Thursday around 1:00pm and i was literally the 10th person in line....in and out in about 5min. It was the fastest i've gone through to get my badge my the past 17 yeah of attending. Kudos to that!!!

TV's outside the rooms showing what is going on inside? It sounds nice but..... Please Noooooo! Forget the cost involved to do that... just imagine the crowds gathering around them to watch and prevent people from moving at all.

As for the capacity of the rooms, that is something I'll pass on. Maybe not putting that on each panel's itinerary but somewhere in the guide so people know.

How about an update on the app for when a panel is deemed full?

Luckily someone on the Westin hotel staff was up to date and started telling people coming in for the first Baldwin panel that they were out of luck before they'd made the effort to get into line, myself included. That was rather helpful. Advance knowledge would help out with crowding in situations like that. I noticed that eventually he got tired of saying it and there were still tons of people coming in with that panel in mind.

That would be awesome if the app could be updated on the fly to say "Panel Full" or "Panel Expected to be Full" to give people the heads up. Not sure if it can be done but hey... can't hurt to ask.

We had a sign for the "room capacity" of the lines in our track ("after this point, you are not guaranteed to get in the room"). It worked out very well for informing those in line!
