Can I at the con buy a 1 day pass on Friday for Saturday?

Me and a bunch on my friends due to work and what not can only really make it Saturday but really don't want to wait in line that day 2-3 hours to get a pass.

So could we come on Friday wait in line that day pay, and get a badge for Saturday?

If not why is it set up like that?

Also if we are forced to buy a Sat pass on Sat if we go at 8 am when they open how long would you guess it would take to do so?

Nope you can only register for the day you purchase your membership for. That one-day membership will admit you up to the following day 8AM. The reason we don't sell the memberships ahead of time is that it would add to confusion for the people at the doors because they would need to worry not just about expired memberships, but also ones that are not as of yet valid. What we have currently is already confusing as we all know the days kinda blur into each other....

3 years ago it may have taken 2-3 hours, however we have worked hard to streamline our process. If I recall correctly, our longest wait times were somewhere around 1h15m. However, that is really dependent on the volume of people we have as well as any unforeseen circumstances that arise.

No sorry, but like Ewu said the lines have gotten a lot less lengthy. Last year I went on Sunday and it only took me about 20 minutes in line. :)

My advice is to show up either a little early (before the crowd) or just a little later (after everone clears up). ^_^
