Hmmm...certainly food for thought.  I might have some of what you're stirring in that pot.   :)
Oh wow...*great* point...assuming you get done both badge sales this year (actually, not assuming, cause they stated it), you *could* have a last chance sale if returned badges were due back say...February?  Hmm...

I could be wrong, but I don't remember them charging anything during pro reg.  It seemed to go pretty fast and smooth and I'm pretty sure I didn't have to enter any type of payment information.

I just looked at my receipt for Pro Badges and I wasn't charged a $5 dollar handling fee.  My total was $276.

Anyways, you might like it, but I and quite a few others don't because we were only given one week's notice to prepare for returning reg, and we all have our various reasons for not liking it.

For me, it's because I'll be going out of town for business and won't have enough money to buy all of the badges I need until after the sale is over.

So while it might be convenient for you, please remember that it's not convenient for everyone else and please keep that in mind in when replying to someone.

And from what I can gather elsewhere, I'm not the only one who feels this way and has complained about it too.

(Also, I should change my settings so that I won't get an email whenever someone mentions me. I don't know why I didn't do that before.)

Maybe you give your login details to someone who can sit in the waiting room for you?  My brother has rarely been available for any Reg but he's always given me his logins.

Have till May 14th 2018 to to return badges for a refund. I guess they could still have a last sale in ealry June if they get enough returned badges to make it worth the time and effort.

That's about the timeframe they used to use, back when they previously had returned badges sales.

Guess: they oversell the tickets anticipating a certain number of no shows based on previous data.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I know they had cut back on pro and press badges to give more opportunity for regular attendees.  And it seemed to me that the leftovers were given to the pros and press.

I'm the same way. When did they start calling it Return Registration instead of Pre-Registration?

Question about getting into the buying room after the waiting room.

Let's say both me and a friend are in the waiting room, and he gets in first. So he buys himself and me a badge. Since my badge has now been purchased, do I get kicked out of the waiting room? Or can I still get into the buying room and buy for 3 others?
