So my primary choice during Reg & Hotel lotteries is Chrome. But if I need to run multiple browsers, then I’ll choose Firefox next, then Safari.

During the waiting room yesterday I had a strange issue on Firefox on Mac where the spinning circle would stop if FF was not in the foreground. Once I put it in the foreground, it was fine. I know the circle is a simple GIF, so it was kinda odd.

I mentioned earlier that I got a code that got in from someone else on this forum. Since both Chrome & Firefox were still in the waiting room; I ended up opening the code in Safari and it worked just fine. As a web developer, i actually have tepid faith in Safari. I’ve had to make many workarounds because sites would break on Safari. They’re not bugs per se, but different interpretations of the official HTML spec.

I usually run TenFourFox (a Firefox port) on my wired OS 10.4 Mac and Edge on a wifi Windows laptop. Some things don't work reliably with Edge and IE is still a default, but I haven't had reg or hotel issues with either. (Of course as things always seem to happen, my home wifi cut out for some reason while I was in the waiting room, but the newbie in our Group of 5 [Power 5?] got in early to cover what we didn't get in Returning, where I was the lucky one.)

Hi all, question about browsers.  Do you usually run your code in in IE or Chrome? 

Our buying group had an issue in both pre-reg and open reg with IE freezing after the members name was input - but before they could add the other two ID's. It impacted different people in each sale.   The impacted member was then locked of the sale until the frozen session expired time-wise. Only then could someone go back in a purchase a lesser badge for them.   Fortunately we have screen shots of the whole thing including other members trying to buy for that person in the interim.  Obviously we have reported to CCI and hope for a favorable resolution - but I'm wondering if there are any tricks the member can do on their end to unfreeze the session earlier and release the name, (maybe shutting down the computer) and also if its worth it to simply tell our members to use chrome. 

Thoughts appreciated.
We use Safari & Chrome.  We didn't have anything that 'hit' for General Registration last week, but a machine using Safari hit during Returning Reg.

I was using FireFox, Chrome, and IE. Firefox is the browser that ended up being selected when I got picked to buy badges.

Yep. Got my barcode. Still amazed that I get to go back after five years away. Five more years that I've collected more aches and pains!

All in my family received their barcodes today, also.
So glad my son will be able to join me for preview night this year. :)

I just noticed on Craigslist NYC that someone is selling two 5-day badges (preview night included) for $2500. How is this legit or legal? It has the seller's name on it?

Since you see this. You should report it to CCI.

It isn’t legal.

It is against CCI policy, but it is not illegal (in most states)
I don't know NY laws as I don't live there, but in most states laws against reselling tickets have been lifted.

Right.  I was a season ticket holder for the San Diego Padres (sigh...don't judge), and they exclusively (and very conveniently) use Stub Hub as a means to resell tickets.  In fact, the standard MLB ticket policy (at least we were told it was standard MLB and not just a Padres policy), is ticket holders are allowed to sell half of their season's tickets via Stub Hub, regardless of resell value.  Some tickets I sold less than face value, some I sold for quite a bit more than face value.

CCI obviously has a strict no transfer policy, but 'scalping' of tickets isn't illegal in most states
