Hi friends of Comic-Con International!

I'm new so please be patient.  :D

So my husband is press and his verification is NOT due. Does he apply for a badge with the general public on Feb 16th? I've emailed CCI but no response. When we log into his account it says that he is allowed to apply for a badge on the 16th, but I don't know if he should then or if there is a special time and day for press whose verification isn't due.

Thanks for any help. Getting excited for SDCC!!

I am in a similar position. I hope CCI makes a statement soon. This anxiety is making me crazy.

Thanks for the responses! I guess if we don't hear by Feb 16th, then he should probably go ahead and try for a badge that day. Kind of weird that they'd make press apply with the general public because they're different badge types.

If your current press verification is NOT DUE, you do not need to buy a badge on the 16th. When press registration opens later, you are already verified and will just have to log on for a badge. They don't sell-out.

However, I do know that press don't get guests, so if your husband is press and you are not ... you should definitely get your badge on the 16th!

Thank you! We finally just heard back from CCI and they told us the same thing. I got my 4 day badge with preview night already. Thanks everyone!

I just emailed the "Pressreg" email address ([email protected]), hope it's the proper one as I keep getting an auto-reply from it.  We are 10 days out from the regular badge sale, and still no word at all, and I did check my status today (still says "Due").  Maybe it's just not in the cards for me in 2013.

I received my response yesterday after numerous follow-ups. Unfortunately, after 5 years in a row, it's a no go on press badge this year :(

Oh well, fingers crossed that I can get in on Saturday to purchase my 4-day.

Dezurtdog, would you be able to share the email or phone number, I have heard nothing from the press-reg folks, and time's coming near.  Thanks.

I didn't think it was applicable to me since I was in the "DUE" category.

I may be in-disposed at that time, sadly enough.  So I may not be near a laptop at noon (my time) for the mad dash to the virtual waiting room within 10 seconds past noon.  :)

Sorry to hear that, Dezurtdog. At least they told you in time for you to participate in the general badge sale. Good luck to you!
