« on: October 24, 2016, 01:49:02 PM »
Will there be buying groups for those of us who have to use general registration?

Thanks!

Yes. We will organize them once returning registration is over.

Given the fact that pre-reg is in 'early '17' and
  • we're guessing there needs to be at least 2 weeks between pre & gen reg,
  • the hotel sale is usually at the end of March


I think we can safely say that gen reg will be between the Jan 21 & March 11.

There has been no official reason given. My guess is that either they are upgrading the technology and need more time (scary) or that they wanted to try and get through professional verification before this year's returning registration.

It kinda worked out for me, with school and the holidays it was one less thing to worry about.

Hi,

I like the timing better as well, but also get nervous when things change. I must say the RFID badge seemed to work out well. I was a little suspect of having to tap in and out and what that would do to lines, but it seemed to be o.k.!

This will be the first time trying a buying group (if I can get into one) and I am a little nervous.  But anything to increase my chances I guess.

our buying group coordinator is on vaka till the beginning of next week. I'm not sure which groups have room for more folks or if we need to start up another group. 
I'm tagging our buying group coordinator, [member=314]Transmute Jun[/member] so she'll answer the questions when she gets back.

Forum Housekeeping:

Since we have an official general (open) registration buying group thread, I'll take the liberty of closing this one to prevent confusion between similar topics of discussion.

Please head on over to the official thread for more details and information:
