People complain about the lines to get into the Hollywood stuff while they complain that Hollywood has taken over. Just don't go to the TV and movie panels. There are lines for some of the comic book panels, but nine times out of ten you can get in.

This. I avoided Hall H and Ballroom 20. I did other panels and never had to spend more then 30 minutes in a line. I saw a hell of a lot more and most of the stuff I would of seen in hall h or ballroom 20 is appearing online. I call that a win.

And the problems that I did have at SDCC seemed to be getting addressed as they grow. I enjoyed camping out with my kids to get into Hall H for the DC and Marvel movies, but got pissed when they opened the doors and suddenly people were walking up to meet their friends in line ahead of us. Now they give wristbands for the different points in line throughout the night, so it's harder to cut the line.

harder but still happening, now people are waiting around for their wristbands...taking a powder for the night and returning before the doors opened. Really I think the solution is to sell tickets to these much like Nerd HQ did to their events.
