SDCC: Wrist Bands to be Implemented for Hall H Exhibition

With the explosion in popularity of San Diego Comic Con, and geek culture in general over the last few years, attendees have surely noted the increasingly cramped space within the convention center, and competition in seeing the biggest panels.  Due to the increasingly long lines, specifically the line for Hall H, a wrist band will be distributed to gauge line length and communicate the likelihood of individuals getting in to see this year's big reveals for movies and television.  At this time, the wrist bands are only for Hall H, but perhaps this is only the beginning of a new trend at the country's biggest comicbook convention.  What are your thoughts?

Wristbands will be distributed for Hall H ONLY. These wristbands are not guaranteed entry passes. They will be used to gauge the length of the line for Hall H. You must have a badge or badge barcode to be in line. Wristband distribution will begin in Plaza Park as people get in line but will stop at approximately 1:00 AM, resuming again at 5:00 AM at the spot where the last wristband was given out. You will need to have a wristband in order to enter Hall H for the first panel of the day only. If people with wristbands leave the line for the first panel of the day and more seating becomes available, the room will be filled with the first people in line who do not have wristbands. These are not meant to be entry passes, but a marker for attendees in line. As always for Comic-Con International lines, if you need to leave the line for any reason, be sure a member of your group remains in line or you will lose your place in line. Wristbands cannot be sold, saved, or traded. After the first panel of the day loads, the wristbands will not be used and the line will proceed as normal. The wristbands will be in four colors, each color denoting a section of the line. The first quarter of the room capacity will receive a certain color, the next quarter another color, and so on.
