Wait. You could log in with multiple browsers using one registration code?

No, I don't think that's the case, they must've meant that they were in other browsers with someone else's registration code for them. At least that's the way I think it's supposed to work.

Neither myself or my sister ever got in, but a friend of a friend got in early enough to get us 4 day + preview :)! I'm super relieved and excited, especially since this will be our 7th consecutive year.

I had three registration codes and used different browsers for each code.

I got 3 days. But as mentioned in the other thread, never made it past the waiting room. A kind stranger here, Tardassauce, got me a badge :)

My group did very well. We have 15 total people (with a few double dipping in other very small groups - none are FOCC groups). We all got 4 days badges. I think about 3 people got preview night, but most of us do not do preview night because we have other Wednesday night traditions and there's usually one person we are trying for in Gen Reg. We'll be back for gen reg for my bff's husband who had to skip last year. We feel really confident about our chances for that.
Do these tacos taste funny to you?

We will descend like locusts on Gen Reg and eat everyone else in sigh so he can get his badge!

Got shut out, but a friend I met in the Hall H line threw me an unexpected lifeline just as 4 day was running out. Feeling blessed by Comic-Con karma!

Got a four day badge. Could have gotten PN but I passed - I somewhat panicked because I've never had the option to get PN before and wasn't expecting to have the option so early.

I ultimately didn't get it because I'm not huge on buying exclusives, so the only upside Ipersonally saw was a less congested floor to wander (which would be nice because it sucked to walk the floor last year!) and the ability to clear up booth rules before Thursday. But I decided in the moment it wasn't worth the $45. Also from years past, every time PN rolls around, I find something else going on and I never think "Oh I wish I was at PN right now." But of course in the past, I never even had the option to buy it to begin with!

Ho hum maybe I'll have the option again in Open Reg and take the plunge...

Comic Con Karma is a very real thing. I have experienced it (from both sides) many, many times.

SoCalNerdGirl's group was slow getting in to start with, and only 3 people got in before preview night sold out.  But then after that we got lucky and I think everyone in the group got what they wanted outside of PN and finished first.

Yes, I saw that! The SoCalNerdGal group came out with an astounding finish! Many thanks to [member=2091]sefton42[/member]  and [member=4050]jon.reynolds[/member] for stepping in when SoCalNerdGal was unable to run the group.

We couldn't do returning reg this year so I stayed up all night watching Stranger Things and then slept in until 11 :)

The buying group I normally participate in had a really rough go of it this year, I'm glad to see so many people posting here with success.

Had a 4 person group.

Only one of us got in at :55 after and got 3 of us Thurs/Sun.

No one else made it in at all, which is definitely a first for me.

It just goes to show your SDCC luck can change any time!

Absolutely.  This year for the first time since 2014, my personal registration code instead of someone else's got through for a four-day badge purchase.
