Hi! I attended WSC Atlanta 2016 with a VIP pass. To be honest, I'm not sure you'll be able to meet him with a GA ticket. Here's my experience: by the time we got into Norman's line, there were about 50 other VIP people ahead of us. I've attended other cons & met Norman on a few other occasions so I was anticipating waiting a couple hours but we were in line for over 10. I spoke with some volunteers after the con and apparently the line control team is supposed to let 4 Platinum holders through, then 3 Gold, 2 VIP, and 1 GA. In theory, that would mean all the lines are constantly moving. That being said, Platinum gets absolute front of the line so I don't think they wait for anyone to go ahead of them and they can come back and get back in line immediately afterwards. Despite WSC saying that there are very limited quantities of Platinum & VIP passes, it seems a lot of people get them. Our movement in line was very consistent: every hour we look about 3-5 steps. By noon we heard that they had cut off his line, not just for GA but for VIP as well so the only people getting in who weren't already in line were Gold & Platinum pass holders. And we STILL waited 7 hours at that point.
I had heard horror stories about the lines at WSC and unfortunately they weren't exaggerated. Now, to be fair, this was Saturday. Maybe Sunday was better. I hope it works out for you! However, if you are located close to a different Con that he's scheduled to attend, I would recommend going to that one instead.
