COMIC-CON ADVICE:
All attendees are scheduled, but things come up.
***Also, when you find out when and where your favorite movie panel will be taking place, you should consider getting to the room or hall much earlier than you think you need to get there.

Traditionally, lines for Hall H have sometimes started the night before for a panel, wrapped around the back of the convention center and be as long as down the waterfront and past some of the piers. If you have a panel you want to see that starts in the afternoon, I'd suggest "manning up" and getting into the room a few panels before hand.
The reason I suggest that is because as a panel ends, you can get better seats by moving up between panels. In my early days of attending panels in the audience section, I'd be able to get up to the front section, or in some cases, the front row.
Patience my friends, is the key to snagging the good seats.
Also, if perchance you might have the horrible luck of attending Comic-Con on crutches or in a sling, I have good news for you.
Go see someone at the hospitality desk at the front of the con. They'll give you a sticker or some such identifier. This ID will get you in to the front of the lines or past the lines in some cases. Each year is a little different but you'll see.
