Just as a reminder to everyone to check their Comic-Con Member I.D. accounts:
While the pre-registration is only available to attendees from Comic-Con 2012 (and even if you know you are eligible), check the website for a written confirmation, just in case.

The last thing you want to find out a few minutes before pre-registration opens up online is that you can't participate in it.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

After you log into your Member I.D. account, you should get a message saying the following if you are eligible for Comic-Con 2013 pre-registration purchases:

"YOUR EPIC LOGIN INFO
These two fields should be used by you (or someone on your behalf) to login to the EPIC registration system when purchasing badges, or applying for press/professional registration.

Last Name: [your last name here]
Member ID: [your member I.D. here]

Congratulations, you are ELIGIBLE to participate in the 2013 Online Badge Preregistration."

yes i beleive tickets can sell out during checking out, ive heard of a lot of people who got tickets for themsleves but when trying to get tickets for the next person in there group, they couldnt since they had sold out certain days.

Yes, it's definitely possible (and it has happened before).  There's a good chance that Comic-Con will use the same EPIC "waiting room" system as they did in the last badge sales/resales, so there will be a cap to the number of people allowed in the "waiting room" line.  After capacity is full, no one else will be able to purchase a badge.

Since it's only pre-reg badges, there will, of course, be a smaller number of badges available...

To be honest, online prepreg is making me nervous. I just hope I can get a badge, get this is over and done with, and not worry about it again until next year. I will get up at 7am and work out the kinks on my computer. Maybe ask AT&T if my internet speed can be upgraded.

ARGHHH! The stress! It's happening 11pm on a Saturday night for me, and my gig ends at 10.15pm so I have to make sure I get home before 10.45pm to park myself in front of the computer, all READY.
 
Can't wait to get everything dealt with so that I can apply for leave next year already hahahah!

I don't think so, visa or mc, get one of those pre-paid cards

eta; I stand corrected, apparently, Am Ex is accepted according to another fan!  I'm trying to get an official announcement about what is or is not accepted.

I'm betting they'll announce tomorrow (Thursday) that Saturday is when they'll sell badges again and it will be at 8am PDT.

Disclaimer: I have no inside information, it's just a guess.  Your guess is as good as mine.

If SDCCI sends out that E-mail tomorrow (Thursday) saying it's this Saturday, you're both buying me a drink!   ;D (j/k)

What did I tell you???  I knew it!  OK, who's buying me a drink???   ;D  OK, the only thing I got wrong was when the E-mail was going out.

This means I'll need to get up before 5am HST since I'll be in Honolulu.

Oh crap wait. I just saw on the SDCC FB:
"For those interested, it should have been PDT."

What does this mean? It's 8AM PDT now?

Is there even a difference with PST? Where I come from there is absolutely no such thing as Daylight Savings (or seasons for the matter) so I'm a little confused and hoping it's not different from 8AM PST.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login --> I was looking at this and it says PDT is an hour after PST....so does it mean it's 8AM PDT for the Pre-Reg?

Sorry to bug you guys on this. Would appreciate any clarification on the matter. Thank you!

It's PDT now.  PDT (Daylight Saving Time) is seven hours before GMT.  PST (Standard Time) doesn't start until November 4.  SDCCI made a typo on the E-mail sent out.

According to this site You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login Singapore is 15 hours ahead of California, meaning badge sales will begin in Singapore this Saturday evening at 11pm/23:00 your time.  Don't quote me on this though, check other sites to make sure that is correct.

I'm confused how it's going to work for my gf and I.  I take it we should both log in and try getting our badges.  But do we go for individual badges or try to get both at the same time?  I just hope we don't get to some final screen and it says something along the lines of "your ID is already logged in...too bad!" I don't know.  Anyone else in the same situation?

Awesome, thank you so much Andrew, I was going nuts counting against You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login because this site seems to show a different time whenever I refresh the page. I checked on other sources and we are indeed 15 hours ahead until November. (Geez I really hate this daylights saving thing WHAT IS THE POINT URGGH)
