I can’t see a downside to this. Feel free to enlighten me, however, haha

Wifi tends to be spotty at the convention center, especially on saturdays.

Not everyone has a smart phone.

The ticket requires the ECCC app, which is ReedPop/Relix/LexusNexus, a path that a lot of people do not want their data to go down.

How will ADA work - this has not been addressed in ANY announcements.

Imagine being one of the extreme cosplayers, and having to pull out your phone from .... somewhere.... that's not gonna work....

They responded to a comment on insta that said ADA will be using wristbands to show we can be in said line for stuff. Which again I still see issues with because I have sensory issues, I can’t sleep in that so that brings the question will you have to get a new one everyday? Which in a way is just more time lost everyday waiting in a line to get an ADA bracelet instead of just using a sticker on a badge. As someone who’s been going to cons for over 10 years I see this new change going horribly
