I just got an e-mail today from Comic Con that there badge policy will change. They’ll be scanning badges randomly at the convention and checking the names to make sure they match. Yes, that means they’ll be checking the attendee’s ID. I think it’s a bit much, especially the ID part. It will ruin the mood of the attendees with random checks as they concentrate on wasting…I mean investing their money at exhibit hall.
Below is the e-mail:
“Comic-Con International may perform any of the following validation of badges on entry to any area of the convention. These measures are an effort to prevent illegal badge duplication and unauthorized reselling. We may scan the bar code, require a photo ID that matches the name on the badge, scan RFID embedded in the badge, and examine the badge with other technological and/or physical methods to verify authenticity of the badge and holder. Before leaving any registration area please make sure that the name on the badge matches your identification.”
