20,000+ Swag Bags?

So, I go to the Deviant Art page of the fine folks at UDON and I see this:

20,000 Free Comic Books Flood PAX

Reading the post shows that they're including one free random full-sized UDON comic in your swag bag. Since they have over 20,000 free comics and everyone's bag has only one, does that mean they're are atleast 20,000 swag bags?

A few of the attendance numbers I've seen are 22,000 to 30,000. Looks like if you pre-registered and show up not too late, you'll get a bag.

    Nah, I'm just kidding, I don't play card games anymore. I just like the art one the WOW ones. They have a good group of artists, including PA's Gabe, and even Todd McFarlane.

    Fair enough. I could probably turn it around on eBay for a quick buck.

    Boxes are for hiding. Nothing else. Cut eyes holes too, and put a straw through the top to breath, and bring a minifridge, those are fucking handy. Also, your iPod, cause boxes can get boring whilst hiding in them. Also maybe a portable DVD player and a laptop (Which could be the same thing, but if you want to watch a movie and check the forums, you should have both). Maybe a sandwich. You might get hungry in the box. And a woman. Cause getting a blowjob while performing professional level espionage is very exciting and important... ya know, for the sneakiness...

    So maybe it's 13,000 bags and around 7,000 comics at their booth. I guess if you don't like the one you got then you could trade it in for the ones they have at their booth.

    I'm assuming they hand out these bags to the first people who come in? How does this work exactly?

    Other cons I've gone to you had to pick up your badge on the day of, and they just gave you the bag then. However PAX I have my badge. So will there just be tables when we walk in with these bags on them? I plan to be one of the first 500 people in so it shouldn't be a problem. Depending on how many people line up early, I may be one of the first 200 or even 100 people in :)

    Last year a gauntlet of armed enforcers thrust swag bags and wristbands into the arms of everybody as they swarmed in through the door like water through a burst dam.

    Edit: Armed with swag I mean.
