Here is the current situation for Main Stage.

People are lined in a particular chute. Once they get their first wristband they will hold you until 10am and then you can cycle through to your next desire chute.

Not entirely efficient but I will judge based on my outcome.

More to come later.

Just a PSA for anyone going to Hammerstein, yesterday they were making everyone throw away their food before entering, which sucked for people in my group who had backpacks full of snacks and drinks.

They didn't allow umbrellas inside either. You had to leave them outside the doors. There a bit more secure there.

There seems to have been some major controversy at the Hammerstein line Friday night/Saturday morning. People had been camping out all day and night because only the first 100 people could get Masashi Kishimoto's autograph on Saturday morning. But apparently, wristbands were given out at 10 pm on Friday to the people already in line, who subsequently left then returned Saturday morning. However, other people continued to line up throughout the night and early morning. The line was humongous come 10 am on Saturday.

That's not how it was supposed to be handled. There weren't supposed to be any wristbands at all but this unannounced change was made, perhaps in an effort to stem the formation of a line outside the Manhattan Center. As far as I can tell, no one knew about the change and so it didn't help.

I had decided ahead of time that I would not participate and camp out so I missed this fiasco, but I feel absolutely awful for everyone who got screwed.

This was updated recently. I don't know exactly when:

Signing is limited to the first 100 attendees in line for VIZ Media Premieres BORUTO: NARUTO THE MOVIE. Please, no photographs at the autograph event.

The line for VIZ Media Premieres BORUTO: NARUTO THE MOVIE at the Hammerstein Ballroom will start at the entrance of the Manhattan Theater (311 W 34th St) and head West toward 9th Ave (toward Sam Ash). The line will NOT head toward 8th Ave as there is construction. Please look for signage at location on where the line starts. Lines for this event are not permitted until 10:00 PM, Friday, 10/8. This will be strictly enforced by onsite Staff and Security.

Fans looking to attend this event should arrive as early as possible as seating is first come first served.

Oh one last thing. If you have any feedback on the coordination effort please post it so I can figure out ways to enhance it for next time.
