I don't think those tickets they gave out in 2016 for coming back at a later time will work well this time unless everyone gets a ticket for a timeslot in their goodie bag or something.
If they don't guarantee 100% stock of every item (and size) for every attendee then the timeslot tickets are still very crappy. Take two years ago. I spent between the two days a total of about 16 hours in lines related to Merchandise and by the time I got to the booth they were out of 90% of the stuff I wanted. That was literally hundreds of dollars I wanted to give SE that instead went to the blackjack tables. It also ruined my Fan Fest spending so much time in line, missing a lot, and walking away with practically nothing. It's the reason I didn't even bother with this year's ticket fiasco because they didn't announce any pre-sale before hand. I refuse to give SE my money for another Merchandise Line Savage.
