There's no limit to the # of people in the group. It will be up to you though to make friends and coordinate how you want to work together for badges.

I've added you to the group.

you have been added...thanks for helping out, that's great.


I think the key for people looking for badges is having a place where they can go too in the eventuality that they have an extra slot OR they need a slot.

I would love to be added to the group(though the husband comes along with me, so i am a pair ha ha)

but question, I heard someone mention using a prepaid card that only has a little bit on it. wouldn't the system not take the card at all if it has insufficient funds?

If the card has insufficient funds, it would definitely be rejected.  However, since these prepaid cards usually function the same way as credit cards, I'm pretty sure you would be able to correct the payment situation after the fact.

If I remember correctly, last year CCI contacted people who bought badges only to have their payment not go through and gave them the opportunity to correct/change their payment info.

Also, you can set the specific denomination for a lot of these cards, so I know that there are people specifically getting prepaid cards with just enough to pay for their desired configuration of badge.

Yup.

The prepaid cards would be a way to limit/restrict anything from being stolen from you.

Good exercise in trust though - gotta work together.

You should see a section under Information Archives labeled as "Pass Sale 2013"

I didnt get preview you night but I have a question based on everyones stories its almost not worth it for Hasbro exclusives by the time you get badge and get into con. Is it better to get badge Wed and then camp out for entry on Thursday for exclusives??

Your odds are obviously better the earlier you get in line but that also means you are gonna be stuck in line for a lengthy amount of time so it's whether there is something that's worth it to you
