It's a raffle... but it's a fun one.

What usually happens is: on the 47th minute of any given hour, a bunch of tickets are available. Click fast--the link typically appears at the top of the page. You get up to one per week that they do it (or two total, however the timing works). Show up at the webhug and wait for your name to be called.

To the organizers: If you're looking for a place, try the second floor, either between the conference areas and the arena (there's a nice lounge area with large windows, but likely lots of traffic) or at the top of the wide stairs near the entrance to Halls 3 and 4. Plenty of room up there. If you're really desperate for a place, either 1st or 2nd floor of the America's Center by the street entrance (Hall 1 area) could also work, but that area isn't right between the pits and the arena.

And nope, sorry, I won't be there. Something about being in college.
