Lining up

Hey everyone. What is the protocol for lining up for panels? How early does one need to line up for a popular panel in order to get in? I know a lot of people were sent away from the That Guy With The Glasses panel last year. Thanks!

All depends on what the panel is and timing. IM not sure how lines will be done this year, but if it's anything like last expect a decent amount of time devoted to waiting in line (bring something to do or better yet strike up a conversation in the line!). From my understanding the concerts will be back to back with quick stage changes, and anyone who attends one of the concerts is not required to leave when the next one is setting up (correct me if wrong anyone), so there technically won't be much if any of a line for those. Guest panels and popular themed panels is the ones you'll have to judge yourself. Always allow yourself plenty of time, and if it's a panel you really really have to go to I say allow yourself as much time as possible. Sorry I can't be of any 'real' help. Midwest will be am amazing convention none the less (:
