Comic-Con Line Controversy


LA Times shares a little bit of what we might experience if we were waiting on line for Hall H:
A group of girls, who wanted to be called the anti-Twimoms, complained loudly to Elite security officers about people who were saving space at the front of the line, and older fans -- or mothers of fans -- who were cutting in line and camping out. The girls proceeded to say that it was also "creepy" that some of the women were so adamant about going to a panel to see a teenager (Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob - apparently the moms were on 'Team Jacob').

Security told them that each person was allowed to hold 3 spaces in line, and that that was a courtesy granted to them. "You are actually loitering, " said one of the security guards. The girls countered by saying that if one person can hold 3 spots, then if one of those people came, then they could also hold three spots, and the line in front of them would increase exponentially.
I can understand these girls' frustrations, as it makes sense that the people willing to camp out overnight really deserve to get into Hall H...but going after older fans? Inneresting.
