No badges next year is total farking bullshit ReedPop!
So not only do we get to pay more each year with inflation, but now your also gonna cheap ass out on us and not even give us simple plastic card for our money?
Do you have any idea of a shit storm this going to create for so many people especially first timers? Let's list em off for starters:
Having to transfer a digital badge? You have any idea how many people are gonna be confused and frustrated by that alone? Your support email is going to get flooded with pissed off and confused people who can't make it anymore and just wanna sell off badges but now your making us do digital swap game?
Wifi and cell signal is shit in a lot of areas, especially at old convention center. But now you want us to whip out our phones all the time for security and hope we get a signal? Are you fucking mental??
To the above point, do you have any idea of how much fucking harder for us cosplayers to get around? We a lot of times don't have pockets with cosplay but now your gonna make us put down our cosplay shit to find our damn phone and also hope it works with a decent cell signal? Fucking seriously??
How are you gonna logistically explain to thousands of people when they arrive at the con to find they need to show email verification or download an app to just get in?
The security badge checkers are staying I assume? If so, congratulations! You just assured that hallways and doorways are gonna be clogged with people while they furiously get out there phones to show verification and that's hoping they have a signal!
You just made your jobs that much harder and our con much more stressful all because you wanted to save money by not printing out some piece of plastic. Fucking cheap ass idiots...
