I yiffed two people at once and all I got was laughed at.
I'm hearing others say that if someone else got you tickets its not letting you get them for others.

Edit: just saw last post confirm this. :(


Edit2: secured 4 day

"Although there are not enough badges for everyone participating in today’s sale, there will be an additional badge sale at a later date!"

"We’re sorry, but the option to purchase Preview Night has sold out. But don’t worry, there are still four other fabulous days of Comic-Con to attend! Did you know that there is a full slate of programming from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM on Sunday at Comic-Con? It’s a great day to attend and walk the Exhibit Hall floor!"

I like the pushing of getting tickets for Sunday in the last update.

So I got to the front of the line, tried to sign in and got this: Badges have already been purchased for this Member ID. You cannot add this member to your order!

So I guess I'm good. Good luck to everyone else.

Well that was awesome. I got in, put in my CC#, hit Continue, and then the page seemed to time out for about 5 minutes. The page finally refreshed to one that said "You have already completed your badge purchase. Additional badge purchases are not possible." I didn't receive a confirmation page or anything, so now instead of waiting to get in, I get to wait to see if I get a confirmation email. Any idea what sort of delay there is in receiving the confirmation emails?

Update: Apparently the purchase did NOT go through. Luckily I had another PC with a second registration name in the queue. I was able to get in and purchase tickets for the same people, and got an almost instantaneous confirmation email.

Tip: If they don't have all four badges available and you aren't interested in going without a 4-day, still buy a single badge (e.g. Sunday or Thursday) so you're eligible for badge holder pre-reg next year.

Correct me if I'm wrong, though. I don't want people to waste money.

I don't think it's broken. Just way more people want to go than can actually go. I still think the lottery system is the best for an event like comic con. You don't want attendance to be 100% grandfathered or you wouldn't get the influx of youth and new people.

EDIT: I got in after 90 minutes.

Good luck anyone looking to deal with regular registration. Man if not for having 4 people working towards our tickets we would have been screwed.

Maybe a pre-planned set of people looking out for each other might work better for the thread when that time comes.

People should really start organizing "sets" of friends depending on how many tickets you can buy far in advance as opposed to everyone attempting solo and then asking for help after not being able to get in.

Thanks to Shawn I managed to at least get 2 days for me and my girlfriend. We'll try our luck for the other days in the normal badge grab. I left my browser up and by the time I got in it was Sunday only. She wasn't in by then either. We both got on at 7 this morning.

Does anyone have a good number to call to actually get a person regarding registration? I fear one of my passes may not have gone through and I want to verify.

After 24 hours of fear, I got the "we've charged your credit card" email.

I think to be nice, we may want to organize a little better for general ticket sales. If people who have tickets, wait in line with (and for) people who don't, goons stand a good shot of going together.

Trade Pro reg went really smoothly. I was hitting it at 9:59 and getting a 'you must wait until 10am' and then I refreshed, logged in and checked out inside of about 2 minutes with the website working just great. Already got my confirmation email.
