I went to a ComicCon in Melbourne, Australia last year with my sister. When
we arrived there was a huge line up. I can't imagine anyone at the end of
that line getting in any sooner than a couple of hours. Thankfully we had
bought high priority tickets so we got in fairly quickly. I was told later
they had to stop letting people in because they hit the maximum allowable
capacity. Even people who had the highest level of ticket weren't being
allowed in and it was a bad idea to leave because you wouldn't be allowed
back in.
I think the main reason was some of the guests, they'd invited Stan Lee
along and a lot of people wanted his autograph.

I went about 10 years ago, and if I hadn't had a VIP pass (my buddy used to
be an art director for an industry magazine) I would have left. The line to
get in was about a half mile long. People waited to get in for hours. It
was insane.

I used to when it was easy to get into anything…oh, 20 years ago. <g>
Now, I either wander the dealer’s room looking for goodies, visiting
people I know, or I go home (or this year, back to the hotel). The lines
are getting longer and I’m getting older.
