How do they know if you're a creator or not? Do I just say I'm the brokenmetronome? How do they prove or check it?
Either A: I get two tickets.
B: They tell me I showed up too early/late and that my timing is wrong.

In years past, if you entered a video into the contest, they should have your entry form and will look for it when you ask.

I dunno how it will be handled this year.

Didn't you get the info? This year you need to send in your index finger so we can do a DNA test on site to ensure it's you :P

I immediately pulled up the indicated page, but it says "Online sales are now closed. Tickets will be available onsite on Saturday, June 30th, for all attendees at the Main Events Ticketing Booth. Thank you and see you at the Convention!" Did they run out of online tickets in an hour (in the middle of the night, no less!), or were they never actually available?


As of that message, all seats are booked solid. Not a seat left in the house. Woooo AMVs!




Just kidding. In any case, the message is a bit odd. June 30th is a day late for AMVs. Secondly, AMV tickets shouldn't even be available at all yet. Here's the word from the manager of ticketing:

"Tickets for AMVs are simply not distributed until the day of the event as people will always claim free stuff even if they have no intention of using it. This is as normal for every year that current ticketing has been in existence."

As for creator tickets, I've been comfortably assured that there's a decent number of them set aside.

Simple. I'll have a list of names. If your name is on the list (and I'll be checking ID), you get a ticket. If not, you don't. Also, I'll be sending out an email in the next few days with information on how to get your tickets. If you receive that email, you're obviously on the list.

Ooh, I didn't expect that answer. I got answer C: My timing is both wrong AND I get two tickets. My timing isn't always right..but when it isn't, it's wrong. Time your drinking responsibly

You bet. :)

Okay, all trolling aside, here's my concern: Being selected for preshow isn't a guarantee of playback. If I announce the intended pre-show roster, but a block of videos in that roster end up not getting played due to time constraints, I've gotten those creators' hopes up for nothing. On the other hand, I would like to announce something...

So basically in a nutshell, I haven't decided yes or no yet.
