I noticed that too - that is definitely inconvenient for those that don't check their Member ID page before registration.

They really don't make the process easy, do they?!?

Part of me wishes sdcc would make whatever ID gets in to purchase badges have to purchase a badge for their own account being mandatory and not able to buy for 3 random people. It should be buy for the person the account belongs to plus 2 other people. I know it gives buying groups a less of a chance but it helps out those that don't have random people make accounts that don't plan on going themselves.

Interesting...

Today, I JUST received the email announcement for open reg for one of the accounts I control.  I looked for it the day they announced, but never received it.  At first I thought it went to spam, but nothing.

New to the site. I didn't see anything specific, but could have missed it. Is there somewhere on the forum I can try to find some people for a badge buying group? I'm really hoping to be able to get badges but only have mine and my wife's member ID (she isn't attending, just hoping to purchase for me).

I guess they are sending them out in batches.

Looks like the Payment card needs to be re-added to be pre-saved for Open Registration.  Currently showing as blank in Account Payment Methods.

If someone already has 4 days, the only option given would be for preview night.
Would someone who got all 4 days in returning reg, but not preview night, still be able to purchase for me during open reg?

Glad our card info isn't saved forever. I would have wanted a way to delete and not keep it stored.

Quick reminder: don't just add a card, mark it as the primary payment source.

(PN is one of the lesser crowded days so you can get booth swag easier)

You had me at swag.

According to a tweet by the unofficial blog, the waitlist option for PN was a mistake.  Did anyone get that email.

"An e-mail went out today confirming that the "Waitlist" option for Preview Night in #SDCC Returning Registration was a mistake, and there is no such thing."

No email and I was on the waitlist. I even checked with my friends who purchased the badges for me and they were waitlisted to. No email for them either.

Now I want to see what this email looks like.

Got the email:

Thank you for your interest in the Comic-Con Wednesday Preview Night. We understand the tremendous level of anticipation for this limited-ticket event and would like to acknowledge our error in indicating there was a waitlist for Preview Night. As Comic-Con fans ourselves, we also understand the disappointment resulting from this issue.

While the very limited number of Preview Night badges meant there was never a guarantee for a badge, we truly apologize for any confusion or inconvenience the waitlist issue might have caused. To borrow a line from Green Lantern, “All we can do is say we’re sorry and move on.”

During the technical set-up of the Returning Registration badge sale for this amazing show, the “waitlist” function was inadvertently enabled in the system by Community Brands and then automatically engaged during the high-volume registration process. Some dedicated fans were informed they had been added to a Wednesday option waitlist, when in actuality there is no waitlist. This was an accidental error that has since been fixed. There has never been a waitlist for any Comic-Con registration option and there are no plans to offer waitlists in the future.

In lighter news, another very limited round of Wednesday Preview Night badges will be available during the Open Registration badge sale on Saturday, November 5, 2022. Configio is working closely with our partners at Comic-Con to fine-tune the registration process for future events and future missions.

Sincerely, Configio
