Yeah, I was hoping to know my allotment before general reg happens.
I was renewed as a professional on 10/14, but received an e-mail today saying that I'm eligible to participate in open registration on the 16th. Checked in my account and it says that my professional verification is not due, but also says OK CC'20 Attendee Open Reg and now I'm confused.
Greetings all,I have a friend that is a professional but, due to money circumstances, doesn't want to buy a full $300 badge and is wondering if she can buy a single day during Open Reg. (She received the email today saying she is eligible to participate on the 16th. but not sure that being a professional would allow her to only buy certain days.)I vaguely recall this being an option, but wanted to pose it to the forum.Appreciate any feedback!~S
So if you register as a Pro do you have to purchase all 5 days? I know that concept might seem sacrosanct to folks who thing "if you have all 5 days guaranteed, why would you not jump on em all?!" but I'm just curious.
I do believe it happened before general. I could see it happening again this year. Maybe this week?Edit: Nov 6 was last years Pro Date, with Nov 10 being Open Reg.
The posts above are correct. You don't have to use your Pro privileges if you have them, and if you're Not Due next year they will still be there. As a paid-badge type of Pro, I look for opportunities to choose my days and to use my Senior discount rather than pay "full price for 4+PN" as a Pro, which I'lll use if I must. I went through Open Reg last year and this year obtained 4-day (with discount) in Returning, and CCI still approved my Pro status renewal application. So I'm an example of a continuing Pro who doesn't always sign up that way, either for "can't come" or who used the other options (returning/open, press, volunteer). Undoubtedly they use the statistics on how many Pros haven't gone through Pro Reg to help set the allotments for the next year.
I vaguely remember that Pro badge purchasing happened before the general registration last year. I could have faulty memory, though.Will that happen this year?

That link was for people who were going to apply for THIS year, and it was removed months ago (and became irrelevant after the close of Pro sign-up on August 16th). However, the notice shows that you won't need to rush during Pro Reg before they run out of free or paid guest badges: Through 2018 guest badges were first-come-first-served, and people would jump to register on the first day or week. Now you will be assigned your allotment, and you can register yourself and your guest allotment through the last day of the Pro Reg window. The guest allotments for 2020 approved pros haven't been sent out yet (as of November 4).
