SDCC When will OPEN Reg be held?
« on: October 19, 2017, 06:42:50 AM »
With the stunning revelation on 10/19/17 of the date for Returning Reg, we also learned OPEN Reg will happen before the end of the year. To quote:

If you are unable to purchase a badge during Returning Registration, you will be able to participate in Open Registration later this year. Yup, you heard that right. Open Registration will occur sometime in late 2017. Stranger things have happened!

Exactly!

I voted for the 30th. Everyone can spend their Christmas money on badges.

Any weekend before the end of the year works for me. I'll be there over Christmas if I have to!

I voted for December 9. Just a guess. WHo knows? Maybe CCI will turn things around fast and it will be in November!

And I'm hoing for a January Hotelpocalypse!

How long before Open Reg do they usually close the Member ID registeration?

We are going to try our luck in the returnee sale, and if we are successful there then we’ll be inviting some friends and family who haven’t been before to see if they want to try for tickets, but I’d prefer not to start that conversation until after the returnee sale results are out.

Am I taking an unnecessary risk that registration might be closed by that time and those people won’t be able to register? I know they don’t announce the date that they close registration, but just wondering what people think.

if mem. id reg closes for pre-reg it should re-open shortly after pre-reg.

in my opinion, you are not taking any risk. you should be able to buy in pre-reg (if u get in) and then set them up for open reg. BUT why wait? New folks tend to be ...slow...in doing what needs to be done- best to get them prepped with the right attitude asap.

Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

My thinking with waiting to speak to them until we ourselves are sorted-out was exactly because I assume the others will be slow making decisions and getting things done, but if I could say to them Saturday next week: “Hey, we’re going back to SDCC next year, if you guys want to try to join us and split costs then you need to do this NOW...” - you know, given them that sort of push.

Also if the two of us don’t get what we are looking for in the returning sale then we probably won’t be going into the open sale - we got INCREDIBLY lucky this year with tickets and don’t expect to repeat that in a million years  :D - so getting everyone worked-up about something that we’re not yet sure we can go to might not be a good idea.

But I don’t know, I’m in two minds about how to proceed here - if the member ID reg suddenly shuts and they announce the open sale for the next weekend after or something then obviously I’d have played it wrong  ???
