Just got my email approval as a trade professional. Sent my application in on the 18th, so it took just over a week.

Dr Tran posted:What's the difference between Trade and Creative Professionals? Creative Pro gets a free badge, and I believe can buy 1-2 extra ones at cost (or maybe free). Trade Pro gets the opportunity to buy their badge and one for a guest. Both Creative and Trade Pro badges come out of a different pool than the regular crazy GA pool. 3 years ago I got my badges about 6 hours after opening, 2 years ago about 3 hours and this year I was in instantly, but I feel like they ran out in about 4-5 hours this year. Creative Pro reg takes place before Trade Pro, but it's like 3 days before. Both of them take place after GA. edit: If you mean like what's the difference between getting a trade/creative pro, Trade pro is like "i'm in marketing/sales/biz dev/cashier/ etc for a company that does business at/around comic con" and Creative pro is like "I'm an artist/writer/penciller/colorist/costumer/etc"

Will you be informed if you don't get professional status? Or is it "no news is bad news"?

And the laws of supply and demand strike again! It's still an ominous "Fall" for ticket sales for 2014 attendees right? Edit: They're saying November on Twitter. Also you have until Oct 15th to validate your 2014 badge on your member ID RevKrule fucked around with this message at 00:19 on Sep 3, 2014 |

So, this next year will be my first year registering as Press. Is the procedure pretty much the same as what you do for Professional status (what I had the last three years) just with different deadlines? Basically some printouts of our work/websites/employment pages and send it in?

Pretty much: It's a Cover Letter (basically your info), the Press Application, a letter from your Editor with your outfit's logo, and three articles. If you make it through, they send you a link to register for the Press Badge sometime before the event. I think I got mine a few days/weeks after the initial sale to the public.

So I'm registered as a Trade Pro, but also qualify for regular pre-registration since I attended last year. How is the trade professional registration process? Do trade pro badges sell out quickly too? I'm mostly trying to get an idea of if I need to try to use both of these. If there isn't too much hassle with getting a trade pro badge, I'd like to just do that so I can also get a guest badge for a friend, but if those will also have potential to sell out, I might just try for regular pre-reg. This is assuming regular pre-reg is before trade pro.

Trade Pro, in my 3 years of experience, does not have nearly the same rush that pre-reg does. I've gotten mine a few hours after open and no issues. Also it doesn't crash.

God dammit, already? Has it ever been this early? I feel like its always been in Spring, but due to them trying new technology out in the fall that goes wrong and they need to take months to fix it.

A couple years ago they had it in August. About 4 years ago, they had it on site. Last year was in Oct/Nov. Feb/Mar is when they have gen pop registration.

Same thing, we have 4 people working on getting in and covering for each other, so we'll have at least one extra slot available, and my wife and I will keep waiting even if someone else gets in first.

If you get in and have extra spots, consider posting your email address to help out goons and wait like 2-5 minutes for a reply before checking out. You have 15 minutes for the whole process.

I wonder if they have cut down availability significantly. That was awfully fast for preview night to get sold out.

Bummer! I guess I'll pick up a Thursday badge if I can, then try my luck for Friday and Saturday on general sales day. e: gently caress Thursday is almost gone too!! I wonder if they allotted less for presales this year. Or my party just has bad luck. Oh well, either way. e again: Woaaaah, even Sunday sold out so soon!! bobula fucked around with this message at 18:46 on Nov 8, 2014 |

I clicked "purchase for 1" reading it as "purchase for 1 (other person)," so I ended up with my own 4-day pass, but not my brother The system disallows you from hitting the back button to correct the number of badges you want to buy. I hosed up. I called EPIC. They were nice, but customer service said no dice as far as being able to squeeze him in due to my mistake. Sending a follow-up email to them and CCI, but not too hopeful. Any other ideas? Very upset with myself. XOIC of Radishes fucked around with this message at 19:10 on Nov 8, 2014 |

On the up side seeing as how several of us did manage to score 4 day passes that leaves several people with spots in gen reg to try and pick up for the rest of us.

If you got 4 day but no preview night, you have a dog in the gen pop fight. That means if you're happy with no preview night but you have a friend who didn't get anything, you can be there w/them for gen pop adding another chance for them to get a pass.

I would greatly appreciate this. I've not had to do something like this before so I'm not sure what the protocol is, but any support I could get in helping my brother get a pass would be wonderful. There's honestly no sense in my going if he can't go.

How does purchasing badges for others work in terms of email notification? E.g. If someone here were able to order a badge for my brother during open registration, would he be notified by exactly who ordered it? Due to my error, it looks like him and I both will need to participate in the open registration to help get him a 4-day (and maybe each get a chance at upgrading to preview night), so when the time comes I wouldn't mind being able to get into a goon network for it and offer any of my extra spaces for others (1-3 depending on what happens/what's available when we get to front of line). In fact, I'd be willing to offer a bounty on his getting a 4-day or our both getting 4-day+preview as well if that's kosher. That's why I ask if the person who gets the order through would have their name in a notifying email so I'd know who to send the extra money to (in addition to the cost of the badge, of course). Pretty much trying to pull out all the stops to make up for "my bad," but don't want to do anything that's against SA's rules, or doing something that might get me scammed. I know open registration is still pretty far away, but just wanted to check and see if this is an OK thing to do so I can relax a little bit.
