Is ballroom 20 smaller?
Maybe one or two of the cast will come, like Melissa and Johnny did once.

I think a surprise appearance by a cast member is always possible.

Yeah, Hall H holds almost 2000 more people than Ballroom 20 - and tends to have panels that are in higher demand. For the biggest days in Hall H, you need to start lining up the day before to ensure you get in. For Ballroom 20, in my experience, showing up super early the day of is good enough.

I bet we'll see at least one cast member - I think every year they had a writers panel, there was at least one who joined, though not always a lead.

^ Last year in Hall H, Game of Thrones was the same day as TBBT, so as they don't clear the hall in between, Roxanne and I ended up forming a line group with some folks and from the time the group got in line to the time the TBBT panel started 23 hours had passed.

that's crazy!
I'd be cool to see Simon joining this year, I have no idea of what he's doing this summer.

Yeah, so I'm glad I got to do that whole bit, since it's kinda like an iconic SDCC experience (there's a whole #HallHLine hashtag too), but we were coordinating who was holding the line while who went where during the day and then a few stayed overnight so it's a whoooole thing.

I don't think Simon's been a surprise panelist yet? From what I can remember, we've had Wil, Johnny, Melissa, Mayim, and Kunal show up unannounced.

Two day premiere this year!

EDIT: Well, that didn't work. But the Instagram post says that we'll get 12.01 on Monday, September 24th, and then 12.02 on Thursday, September 27th.

I miss going to tapings.

Roxanne, we gotta get in for this finale in case it's the last one.

ennaxor

Very cool, two in one week!

Man, trying to get in for the finale is gonna be hard! It'll be like a mini Hall H line all over again!

Only more luck and less random Dads buying us ice cream.

Thanks. I'm wondering if it's possible to get ahold of two tickets for one taping. I'm in LA with a friend and I'd hate to miss out on it. I have no idea how it works unfortunately.
