I got a 4-day pass through the generosity of the buying group I was in this year.  Last year I think I was able to get in the instant that the sale opened and bought for myself and two others.  This year, another bought for me.  Comic Con Karma at its finest!

Last year I bought 4 day passes for people and this year someone bought a 4 day pass for me, the Circle on Con continues.

We had our own small group as well as being part of a larger group. Our little group here had 4 codes, used a PC, Mac, 2 ipads. Person on the PC got in at about 8:20ish(AK time) & purchased 3 of the badges needed & got all three 4Day w/Preview. Yay! About 7 or 8 mins later a wonderful person from this Forum picked up the 4th badge we needed & got 4Day. Thank you! 
Then my son on one of the ipads got in & got 4Day no Preview badges for 3 Forum(2) and Friend of Forum(1) members from the larger group. Yay!!!
Money has already been exchanged which is another reason to love this Forum. I’ve never had any money (or other) issue with anyone from this Forum during the past 6 years of Open, Pre/Returning Reg, Hotel Sale & subsequent Hotel trading!!!
I so appreciate the help getting the 4th badge & I’m so glad we got to return the favor & buy someone else’s badges for them.
Yay for us!!!

Someone who got a guest badge and who didn't need to buy one for herself bought me a four-day w/Preview and my brother's fiancée a Saturday badge (her request).  I had three codes running on three different browsers and had two sessions.  The first one on Chrome I got three people four days w/out Preview and the second session on Safari I got one person Thursday and Sunday.  Once only Sunday was still available and everybody in my group was accounted for, I closed my Firefox browser.

I was not optimistic this year since I was out of town for a wedding in a remote place and using my cell phone but at almost an hour in I was able to get us both Thursday and Sunday! Hopefully I can pick up Fri-Sat in open reg. but if not I'll focus on outside events and meetups!

I got a 4 day from my buying group and when my turn was up, was able to secure 4 days for 3 others in my group.

I'm happy to confirm both my purchases went through.

I only had 3 of my 4 accounts going since I only have 3 different browsers. I was part of batgirls buying group, and since I have not locked in my  vacation yet so I was only going to go only for Sunday. But then the child turning into junior got in the first so I decided to gamble since I had all PN I took PN+4days for me and Sunday for the other two in my group.  I know I should of goen for people in my buying group since I was only going for Sunday for the other two but I was so excited I got in early I was not thinking straight. My second account got in just after preview night was gone so I got Sunday for the 4th person in my group and then got the 4 days for 2 others in the buying group.

This really shows the selection process is so random.  You can never predict if you get selected or not.  I had three codes running on three different browsers on the same computer and two of them were selected for badge purchases.  This year marked the first time since 2014 that my personal registration code was selected.
