SDCC - San Diego Group bag pickup tip

If you're in a group when you go to pick up bags, split up so you all don't get the same exact bag. When you head down the aisle they'll be bags on your left and bags on your right. Split your group in half and one half go to the left and half go through the right. Then when you get to the side that you're going to spread out. The bands are mixed up on the table but usually not by very much. For example, I was at the first position on my side and if you just stopped at me you have either gotten a the rookie bag or Percy Jackson bag. The people further down the road had completely different bags. If you split up you're all likely to get different bags and be more likely to be able to trade for the bag you actually want.

when i came through some volunteers are heroically yet subtly flashing the bag art as they ask if you need a bag.

I'm not sure I can explain it any better. When you go to get your books/bags/lanyards, there will be a tables to you left and right. There will be about 4 people at each table. If you all go and get your bags from the same person, you'll probably have duplicate bags. If if split up and everyone gets their bags from different people, you're more likely to have different bags.
