I was able to get me and two others a PN badge, when I got my 4-day in PreReg...so psyched!

All gone. Shut out. Damn it :'(

Was this your only shot? Did you get shut out on returning registration too? Sorry.

Our badge group was trying to buy for a friend but it kept coming up with the error "There was an issue when attempting to confirm this Member ID. Please review "Other important information" below and try again of eligible." But nothing else showed on the page. The last name of this person was correct and she even sent me a screen shot of her member ID so it was written correctly but we couldnt get her a badge.

Any ideas why this was?

Yes shut out at pre- reg too. Two years ago I was shut out for the first time in over 30 years but a miracle and a good friend saved me. I don't think it's going to happen this year. Don't ever take going to the Con for granted.

Does she have the green OK check mark on her member account saying she is eligible for open reg?

We asked that, but unfortunately she was taking a test and couldnt answer us. :/ what would reasons be for her not being eligible? She created her member ID last year.

If she got her memberid last year, only getting PN during Returning Registration would make her ineligible.
But she should check to make sure.

Yea this would've been her first year getting in, so she didnt particulate in returning registration. I've never seen that error code when buying for myself or friends. Very weird :/

Thanks for the information!

Did anyone that was looking to buy their remaining days that they didn't get from Returning Reg get what they wanted? Just wondering if that could possibly be working against me. I logged in around 8:15AM.
I'm in a buying group of 65ish, and we had a TON of people get in to get what they didn't get from Returning Reg.  Like, I want to say 30 some people got badges.

It really is just crazy random

Buying group got me my missing Preview Night and Saturday badges.  I believe we were able to get everything for our group members and were able to do cross buying as well.  I was able to get in and buy for 2 of my friends.
 Congratulations to everyone that got what they wanted.  Condolences to those that got shut out this year.

The group I was in needed 17 purchases. We needed up getting 16. So those 16 got everything they wanted between the two registration and network group. And done before everything was sold out. I think that's fantastic.

I got my annual shut out.  In a chaotic world, it's reassuring to see something stays constant. ;)

First timer. Got in solo. No group. I am glad to see the playing field is even, whether you are in a group of not. Friday and Saturday. Got in before 10am. My daughter is a young comic artist so she is SUPER excited to see this!

Thanks to [member=7340]OnePromise[/member] , I was able to at least get Sunday badges for two friends of mine (I already had 4day and was trying for PN). Without OnePromse, we would've been completely shut out, even though we had six codes.

Next year I'm definitely joining a buying group. This year really hit home how low the odds are.
