Dragon Con (Board gathering) - 2

Yes, you'll save money if you buy it now, but as for the line... well... A2 and I were pre-registered, and we waited an hour and a half in line. ...and that was good. We got there a day "early", Thursday, but even with doing that the line was ridiculously long. The shortest line was for those registering when they got there. (REALLY unfair, if you ask me!) By the time we made it out of line, the line had grown through and out of the (huge) room and up the stairs into the hotel. :\

The only benefit to registering early is the cost.
