I've never had anything but fun at Gencon, both at Milwaukee and at Indy.However,  pre-registration is the key word. Had I shown up and registered the day of, my wait would have been much longer. Otherwise, I wait in line for a short while (45 minutes or less) get my badge and tickets, and I'm ready to rock, roll, play games, and spend my money on hideously overpriced merchandise. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I expect some confusion and delays in any organized event, but I've never been victim to any major chaos or snafus. (Unlike poor Russ who in 2003 was victimized not just by Gencon but by the airline he flew on, too. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />)</blockquote>
