Here's what's on the site.

"To sign up for the Interest List, log in to your Member ID account, select “Daily Volunteers” from the top menu bar, then click ‘Comic-Con 2022 Daily Volunteer Interest List” to access the form."

Must be a significant number of people trying to sign up.  I was going to log into the site, just to check my status, and it's just churning.

Good luck everyone who's trying to sign up.

Hello,

Thanks. That is what we did. It was a little confusing for those that have never signed up (like us). We all got on the list - so I guess we wait now.

Thanks everyone for helping me understand the process.

It did take forever - I have never signed up to volunteer before so it was a bit confusing - but thanks to everyone here we sucessfully got our names on the list!

Now we wait. I hope the actual assignment options come out soon and we can get a volunteer shift.

Next step will be waiting for the Daily Volunteer Registration to open to claim your badge!

I was only able to sign up when I got home about 10 minutes ago I was with my son in his therapy session so if it is first come first serve I  think I am out of luck. Unless they need a French/English translator hehe.

In general, when the interest list is full, they close the list.
the fact that you're able to sign up is good!

I'm assuming by 'volunteer shift' you mean a pre-con shift.  A lot of us sign up for those, but we don't always get them.

You will have no problem getting a volunteer shift during the Con.  There's never a problem with that.  All you have to do is go to volunteer registration. :)

Oh that is great info - I thought ANY volunteer shift might be hard to get. Thanks!

Be aware that you've only taken the first step.  It's a multi-step process.

1) Sign up on the volunteer interest list. (This is where you are.)
2) Register to be a volunteer when registration opens up for people on the volunteer interest list.
3) Sign up for a shift at comic-con.

Once you're a registered volunteer, you are guaranteed to be able to work a shift a day during comic-con.  You schedule your shifts at Volunteer HQ during comic-con.

The only shift you can be assigned is the pre-con shift.  That's pretty much a separate process.  When you register to be a volunteer, there is the option to say you are interested in a pre-con shift.  A couple of weeks before comic-con, they send out an email to everyone on the pre-con shift interest list.  Then you register for that by noting what days and times you can work.  It's FIFO.  When pre-con shifts become available, they assign shifts to people based on first come first served.  If you want a pre-con shift, you'll have much better odds if you say you can work on any day at any time versus only on Monday between 2-6pm.
