Title: SDCC 2020 Returning Registration Yellow Status Updates (During the Sale)
Post by: Zero on October 11, 2019, 03:40:17 PM
Greetings, everyone! 

This is a separate thread from the regular SDCC 2020 Returning Registration Thread (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=11167.0) to house all of the "yellow bar" status updates from the returning registration sale's waiting room (and possibly other relevant status updates from twitter, Facebook, etc.).

When I open this thread on the morning of the returning registration sale, I would like to ask that everyone to please refrain from making conversation or holding discussions in this particular thread so that we can more easily keep track of any status updates during the sale.  Thank you!

Hopefully, this will help people keep track of whether or not your page has refreshed to the next "yellow bar" status message.

Conversations will be removed without notice.


If you want to comment or make small talk during the sale, please head over to the returning registration discussion thread:

https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=11167.0


If you notice updates from social media (CCI's official Facebook, twitter, etc.) during the sale, please feel free to post them here.


*NOTE: The buying groups are welcome to post their level or percentage of badge purchase completion for the sale as well.  (Estimates will be just fine, since it's just to show us how each group is doing.)


Good luck to those of you participating in the returning registration sale!  ^__^

Tick Tock. Tick Tock. Welcome to the Expo Logic waiting room! You’re early! Comic-Con 2020 Returning Registration will begin shortly after 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), so you have plenty of time to walk around The Continental. Just stay out of the Baba Yaga’s way. #JohnWickChapter3 #YoureBreathtaking #RR2020

I know a little about a lot of things … but I’ve developed a certain niche for badge sales. You gotta have the correct Comic-Con Member IDs and last names of everyone you’re lookin’ to purchase badges for. #TheBoys #Frenchie #RR2020

According to The Nice and Accurate Prophecies of Agnes Nutter, Witch, you will begin being sorted randomly into registration groups at 9 AM – unless you use a private or incognito browser, open multiple waiting rooms using the same registration code, or the antichrist accidentally causes the apocalypse. #GoodOmens #RR2020

The world is about to get a lot more excellent. Comic-Con 2020 Returning Registration will begin in a little over 30 minutes! Please keep all guitars, arms, legs, and feet inside the phone booth at all times while in the Expo Logic waiting room. Don’t worry, you will be able to re-enter the waiting room if you leave to save the world. #BillandTed3 #RR2020

Remember: don’t refresh or reload your page, don’t open another registration session using the same code, don’t panic, and most importantly DON’T FORGET YOUR TOWEL! #HitchhikersGuide #RR2020

You can buy badges for your new mentor, Quentin Beck (if he's busy fighting elemental forces), as long as he's eligible for Returning Registration! Just make sure you have his full name and Member ID. And if you're trying to connect using E.D.I.T.H. glasses, make sure to check your tech using the link below. #SpiderMan #FarFromHome #RR2020

The ancient prophecy from the Gelfling city foretells: "When single shines the triple sun, you may be sorted randomly into a registration session. You will need the Member ID and last name for everyone you want to buy badges for, and you'll lose your place if this page you freshen!" #TheDarkCrystal #RR2020

We appreciate your patience as we prepare to begin the random selection process. If you are selected, you will automatically be moved to a registration session. Do not refresh your browser or you may experience technical difficulties.

The spinning blue circle means the waiting room is actively refreshing every 120 seconds. Refreshing this page or opening another window may result in technical difficulties.

Post by: SamTurtledove on October 12, 2019, 09:04:58 AM
If at any time you are removed from the waiting room, log in to your Member ID account, click the “Registration Info” tab, and use the link to enter your registration code again. You will be put back in the same random group you were assigned. This will not impact your chance of being selected.

The waiting room and badge purchase process may behave erratically if you are using a tablet or mobile device. If possible, enter your registration code on a laptop or desktop to prevent technical difficulties.

Post by: SamTurtledove on October 12, 2019, 09:11:31 AM
We sincerely appreciate your patience. The waiting room is slowly moving people to registration sessions to ensure that the system is running efficiently. If you are randomly selected you will have 15 minutes to complete your badge purchase.

Post by: SamTurtledove on October 12, 2019, 09:12:58 AM
If you are selected for a registration session, do not use your back button during any step of the process or you may experience technical difficulties. You will have the opportunity to review and remove (if needed) your badge selections on the final checkout screen.

Preview Night (Wednesday, July 22) is not a stand-alone option. You must buy all four single days, Thursday through Sunday, to purchase the Preview Night option.
Title: Re: SDCC 2020 Returning Registration Yellow Status Updates (During the Sale)
Post by: SamTurtledove on October 12, 2019, 09:20:02 AM
Working in a buying group? Remember, your Member ID will not validate if it is currently being used in another registration session. This includes abandoned registration sessions. Carefully manage your buying group or you could get shut out.

Do you have a special character in your last name, like an accent, umlaut, or hyphen? Please make sure you enter the special character if you are selected for a registration session.

Once you have successfully logged in to a registration session, you will be prompted to select the number of people you are purchasing badges for during the sale: 1, 2, or 3. Pay close attention to the number of people you select, as you will not be able to return to this page.

Post by: SamTurtledove on October 12, 2019, 09:29:27 AM
Are you working in a badge buying group? We strongly suggest working with people you personally know and trust. If someone from your buying group is caught selling their badge, ALL badges in the order will be cancelled, including yours! Don’t risk it.

There are three things you’ll need if you are randomly selected for a registration session: your Comic-Con Member ID, last name, and credit card information.

If you are able to purchase a badge during Returning Registration, the buyer will receive an immediate order acknowledgement, and badge confirmation emails will go out about 48 – 72 hours after your payment is processed. Please allow a minimum of 72 hours for delivery.

Our badges are equipped with RFID technology, so if you’re worried about badge shipping, fear not! Any badges that are stolen/eaten by a troll/destroyed in the mail can be turned off and we will issue you a new one onsite.
