Managed to get into the room easy and got all 4 days with PN. Didn't get in the room at all last two years. And locked out of PN for the last 4 years. Finally can return.

In at 7:07; out at 7:08 with 2 for Sunday.  Not as lucky as prior years but still lucky.

I had a heart stopping moment about 25 minutes in...my screen changed and said "Safari can't open the page".   I went back to the email, followed the link, input my code and it once again sent me the same "Safari can't open the page" message.   So, in a fit of panic I went to my iPhone and pulled up the email, clicked the link to the registration page and input my code.  I wasn't even sure it would work because I thought I was locked into one device.  When I hit the enter button it took me directly to the "Member ID" page to begin my purchase.   All I can think is that my browser wasn't updated to handle that page although last night I did the system check and passed all of the tests.   I was able to get all four days (no preview) for me and my two friends.   I will say that I was super nervous because I was doing everything on my iPhone.  But not only did it work completely fine, I already have my confirmation email with my purchase code on it.  Huzzah!!!!!!

I was doubting we could get all 4 days, but we did! In my buying group 3 wanted 4+PN an the other just Saturday. So we got on a first session 2 of us got the 4 days but no PN and the Saturday for a 3rd friend and was lucky enough to get selected on another code and bought Sunday and Thursday for the last member of the group.
Last year I only got Thursday and Sunday. The comic con gods were good with us this year!

Still not sure who bought mine, but apparently people in hte buying group couldn't access mine when they got in so someone got it.

And once again, someone ends up getting mine.  I think in all the years they have done this system, only once, have I been able to buy my own badge.  I just seem to have rotten luck on this.

I just broke the pattern this year. It'll happen for you too. Meanwhile, enjoy the fact that you have badges!

This year's PreReg was quite good to me.

First off, I was kinda in two buying groups. I had my main group of 4, and my other friends were in a group of 6-8, and we agreed once we got badges for our own group, we would help the other. One of my friends got in at 9:09am and got 3 of our 4 badges, leaving me still needing a badge. Then at 9:26, the other group had a free slot and got me my 4 day (without preview).

Right during that time, two of our sessions got through, and that's when I sent a message out to FriendsOfCC Shoutbox asking if anyone needed me to help buy badges. I got flooded with PMs right away. I took the first two PMs I received (no favoritism, no choosing by funny username, strictly by timestamp) and helped buy five more badges. So that was my pay-it-forward deed for the day.

I will probably try for Preview Night during Open Reg, but I'm not too concerned about whether I get it or not. Just the main four days is good enough!

In a non-FoCC group this year. Out of 30+ we got 4-Day for everyone except four, but everyone got at least Thursday + Sunday. Only a handful of people got PN.

I didn't get into the room, but a group member got me a 4-Day right under the wire at around 9:40. :)

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

Because I have so many friends not on FOCC we had our own buying group, and two got in and we all got our tickets. Very happy with how it turned out.

Because I wasn't the one who got in, my friend got us all 4 nights + preview night, so I am down one account I can try to get in with during general registration. However, I still have several friends who have accounts but don't plan on trying for tickets this year, so I'll do my best to get in to help out FOCC members at General Reg.
