GMs in my group were basically ignoring ticket requirements; better to game than not to game, and few to no people had generics at that point. (Most of this ticket deficit was made up later once generics started to filter out.) Thursday night I heard stories about people who waited 2.5 hours for generics only to hear "we're out, sorry". Friday was also bad, though I was somewhat distracted and didn't check the line out personally.To not notice that there's a problem until Saturday is a huge management failure. This did not just suddenly pop up on the weekend, it was building the whole time and apparently no one did anything about it until it was too late.My suggestion: don't let this stop you from going next year, but go ready to raise hell if the same sorts of lines form again. A horde of EN people (especially if they come prepared with signs or something) tracking down Mr. Adkison will probably leave a pretty solid impression.</blockquote>
