Wow! I guess I'd better pre-register right now. This process is crazy but I'm willing to go through it again for SDCC 2018.  ;)

Was there any indication given at the Talkback panel as to why Returning Registration - and General Registration for that matter - took place so late in the convention calendar? Is a February/March badge sale the now agreed process for CCI to undertake?

Yes. They said that they had wanted to institute a new system, but it wasn't working and they had to eventually go back to the old system.

I had a feeling that was the reason.  Thanks for the info.

so this year's SDCC was the last year my son is free since he is 13. So i was wondering, can he participate in pre-reg or do i have to wait till open registration to get him a badge? the back of the child badge has no information about this.

Thanks

He can participate in pre-reg. Keep an eye on this page:

They will update it soon with 2018 information. When they make an announcement about returning registration happening 'soon', they will also announce that if your child attended on a free cild badge last year but needs a junior badge this year, then you should contact them. They will set your child up to be eligible for returning registration. If your child is already 13, make a member !D account for them now as it will save time later on. If they are not yet 13, you canmake a member ID account on the first day of the month AFTER they turn 13. So for example, if your child's birthday is in July, you can make a member ID account for them as of August 1.

This is an article I wrote about transitioning to a junior last year. The information should still be applicable.

Whew..on one hand I was annoyed at the lateness of the sale last year (mostly because of flights) but on the other I was sort of hoping, this year in particular because of work stuff, that it would be January or later.  But, it is what it is and I just know to always be prepared for registration at any minute anyway haha

Since the deadline for child verification is 9/20, the earliest pre-registration can be is 9/23. Usually it's held fairly soon after a deadline. They also might hold it on 9/30 just because they set that as the cut-off point for age.
