CCI needs to go back to soft openings to avoid the massive stampede that always overloads the servers as proven in the past sales. I am a supporter of a limited onsite pre-reg like it was done a few years ago limited to 10,000 badges total. This would give a more options to purchase a badge.
I'm confused. So they are going to select 10,000 that are eligible and from that select the winners? If that's right, I'm curious as to why they are doing it in two steps as opposed to just selecting the winners.Can someone please give me the "captain dummy talk" version?
I do hope that this NOT the future for Comic Con sales. The current system is still flawed and in a way it is still like a lottery with the "internet gods" controlling your computer's connection.

Since it closes for entry on June 12, and it says on or around June 13 they will start drawing, how likely is it that they will draw June 12? I only ask because I'm having surgery that day and I won't be able to purchase on the 12th
unlikely since i believe it said all notices will have been made by the 17th so the sale would presumably be after then?
Thanks! I just don't want to miss out if I get chosen.
Back in '11 though it was mad chaos. If you weren't in line by like, 5AM to get your ticket, you weren't going to get one. And people who WERE in line by 5AM were still standing there until about 11AM. That's part of why they moved it away from onsite pre-reg. I actually loved that they did the special online registration this year only for people who'd already attended.
Was that your experience? I am guessing on one of the more popular days? DH got in line after 6:30 am on Sunday & was done by 9:00am. Just curious if it was as bad as we heard on the other days. We just figured it was easier for us because it was Sunday.
