UPDATE ON PRO BADGESFull details on their websiteYou are not allowed to view links. Register or LoginALL “Not Due” professionals, including those who last verified in 2019, will have one additional year added to their verification, beyond the one year that we initially granted in 2020 due to our first canceled slate of shows. This update will not be viewable in our database until after WonderCon 2022, but it does allow those affected to attend WonderCon if they wish – see the next point for details! For WonderCon 2022, this means that many of you who had previously been listed as “Due” and were ineligible to register for our upcoming show may now join us as we come together in Anaheim, CA, from April 1-3. If you are affected by this, you will receive a separate email with instructions on registering your WonderCon 2022 badge and guest badges. For Comic-Con 2022, we had previously stated that only those who registered a professional badge for Comic-Con 2020, and had their badge roll over to 2022, would be able to attend as professionals. However, due to the loosening of COVID-19 safety restrictions and increased capacity, we are pleased to announce that we will be able to accommodate additional professionals at Comic-Con 2022! This will be open to all “Not Due” professionals who have not already registered. Badge pricing and guest allotments will remain the same as your pricing and allotment for Comic-Con 2020 badges. More details on when and how to register these badges will be provided in the months between WonderCon and Comic-Con 2022. Please watch your email, as well as this website, for more information as it becomes available. Note that this applies only to professional badges, and we do not anticipate any additional attendee badge sales for Comic-Con 2022.

I think this is just another indication that there have been more badge refunds then have been believed. There's still a few days left to request a refund.
What kind or category of pro badge requires you to pay for the badge?I'd imagine few people with free badges would seek refunds, even if not attending.
Not to be a negative nancy or stir up pot, so to speak, but this verbiage is interesting: This COULD read that they'll accommodate some Pros, but maybe can't accommodate ALL Pros. It would make sense that there's a "pecking order," so to speak, of what type of Pros to accommodate given CCI"s mission/objectives. I would think (and have no ill feelings) that Education Pros would be at the bottom of that list while Creative Pros would be at the top. So _maybe_ CCI is going through emails/requests individually and accommodating whom they can.
Except that they added: This will be open to all “Not Due” professionals who have not already registered. So someone like me who is still "Not Due" until Aug. 2023 but wasn't able to register for 2020 before the cancelation, I will be able to participate in the forthcoming ProReg. I'll add for context that I'm a 'Trade Professional', so I pay for the badge.Cheers,~S
One thing that bugs me a bit.In 2020, I was planning on going alone. They pulled forward my registration this way.This year, I'll be attending with a family member.I can't get him a guest pass because I'm already registered whereas had I not registered in 2020 at all, I'd be able to try for a guest pass in the upcoming pro-reg.It's okay I guess because my family member plans to see the city this year although it feels a bit unfair that I can't grt a guess pass and someone who didn't register at all in 2020 can do so.
No they had pro reg that year. it's how most of us have a badge that rolled over. I think the gripe is that by doing so, some of us forfeited the option of having guests. Or guests changed, etc.
Didn’t they cancel Comic con 2020 before they actually had the pro badge reg day that year?
