GABF Members Only Entrance?

(1/2) > >>

exploring:
Hello all,

I was not able to attend the GABF last year, but I have been graced to be able to go this year.  In previous years we had a members only entrance that sped up entrance into the hall.  I had to go through Ticket Master this year inorder to get tickets, which I am sure most of you did too. 

My questions are...
1. Is there still a members only entrance?
2. If so, how do we get the stamp on our tickets?

brewingbryan:
I was curious about his as well. My ticket is marked "member" under the admission part of the ticket, although I don't know if that's referring to the fact I'm a member and bought the ticket during the member purchase time or if I access a members only entrance.

smkranz:
If the ticket does not also say "Member's Entrance", then you'll need to get into the general admission line.

elutkins:
I have tickets that say MEMBERS ENTRANCE+FC

However, this is the first time i've been able to use the members entrance.  Can someone tell me where the members entrance line usually starts?  I read as post from a few years ago that says it's inside the convention center instead of the normal one outside.  Is that correct for this year as well?

jrsyboy:
In previous years, to find the Members' line you basically just went inside the convention center in the front and somebody would steer you toward it.  It is pretty much right in the center of the lobby area.  Your ticket will be checked as you join the line and there is a pretty strict "no cutting" policy inside, so make sure your entire party is together.

Other things to note, they will walk through the line checking IDs and providing wristbands so you don't have to go through that once the line starts moving.  You can bring your dinner inside and eat while you are waiting, then just dump your trash before the line starts moving.  Previous years an insert came with your tickets that said not to expect to line up before 4:45pm but I haven't seen anything this year since I got my tickets electronically.
