Both will be held online. The first is only for people who are physically attending this year's con - that's what we're calling pre-registration. If you're not attending this year, you won't hear anything about it. It's only for a portion of the badges anyhow.<br /><br />The second registration day will be open to anyone with a Member ID. You'll get an email notifying you of the date and time and the link. It doesn't matter where you live - everyone has an equal chance of getting a badge. It's just a matter of all of us trying to get into the online registration room at the same moment and buying the kind of badge we want. <br /><br />I'd like to tell you when this will happen, but it could be any time in the autumn or winter. CCI changes it from year to year. <br /><br />Does that answer your question?Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998210733189467877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-70049247114326674792012-07-08T03:23:49.524-07:002012-07-08T03:23:49.524-07:00Very confused about all this pre- registration tal...Very confused about all this pre- registration talk etc.<br /><br />Im new to all this and am hoping to attend the con next year (2013). i live in the UK and am aware my chances are slim. Was just wondering if anyone can tell me how i go about buying a badge. I allready have a member ID. Any help would be appreciated. thanksbennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-31660412878421829072012-07-06T21:05:16.984-07:002012-07-06T21:05:16.984-07:00I remember in 2010, I didn't wait at all (gran...I remember in 2010, I didn't wait at all (granted, I headed right up Thursday morning.) But that year was the first time that pre-registration sold out Preview Night badges on site, and then the regular registration day for 2011 was the one that crashed the system and had to be rescheduled several times. <br /><br />At that point, CCI knew there would be pure mania for pre-registration at the 2011 con, because obviously everyone would want to avoid the uncertainty and incompetence of online registration. So they moved it off site so they didn't have to deal with the crowds. <br /><br />Then that failed spectacularly, and now we have this.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998210733189467877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-7361726121058448452012-07-06T01:17:07.076-07:002012-07-06T01:17:07.076-07:00I'm not even sure why they changed the pre-reg...I'm not even sure why they changed the pre-reg process after 2010. In the past, the longest I've had to wait in line for pre-reg was maybe 45 minutes. One year, there was no line, and I just strolled up and bought my pass for the following year, no problems. No one seemed to make a fuss about it until last year when they moved pre-reg offsite and set a daily limit.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-71815403956971812632012-07-05T22:07:33.610-07:002012-07-05T22:07:33.610-07:00Yes, absolutely.

Most of us will not get badges during pre-reg, since there will be over a hundred thousand of us competing for probably less than twenty thousand badges.<br /><br />The real question is whether people who do get a badge during pre-reg can try to trade up during regular registration. They allowed that this year so hopefully it shouldn't be an issue.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12998210733189467877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4392159341550196250.post-4099491838720326302012-07-05T16:49:58.222-07:002012-07-05T16:49:58.222-07:00If I tried to get the badge during the pre-reg and...If I tried to get the badge during the pre-reg and failed,could I still do the public badge sale?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
