Artist Alley Waitlist?

[pinklemonadegoddess]

Does anyone from previous years know how many people from the waitlist generally get a booth? I understand it's something that could vary greatly from year to year, but I'm curious what experiences people have had with it.

Also if you have booth and want to share let me know. I'm number 70 on the waitlist so I don't think I'd get a table unless I find someone to share with. If you want to share I will gladly pay more than half the cost of the table. I'm making buttons and stickers like this: pinklemonadegoddess.host22.com. I was really looking forward to getting a booth and it would mean a lot to me if someone wanted to share space.

Thank You

I'm not sure how many people got tables from the waiting list last year, but I know it does happen because I have a friend who was on the waiting list for the past two years and both times she got a table. I'm on the waiting list too, so I'm hoping they rearrange tables again or something to allow more people to participate. It was all full within 15 minutes after registration opened, btw. I verified my email account at 12:17.

last year there was'nt a wait list.. perhaps the first 200 was approved until AAA finally reduce the Lounge section and applied another 112 tables..
however, those 112 tables became a "lottery", so the people that was on the waitlist, got a voucher ticket response for part of a lottery system, (so instead of first come first serve, it's "random" to anyone)

this year there wont be a lottery system which is good. but don't think that we might have the same tables for this year! Anything can change so we either might have MORe new tables (which reduces both the lounge and art gallery) or less tables (due to fire safety).

keep your chin up, I am very sure you might get a spot for the tables soon! and goodnews, even if a person got a table, you can try your luck on other days if they can not arrive on that certain day!
