Different browsers (Safari & Firefox)

I went with a similar strategy. some had same or similar times and other had different ones.  probably just coincidence that you got same time.

Can people who finished before say there approx order number roughly before and after 1137 …that they are  either above/ below high 35k order number as a baseline.

We might know how many badges they are selling this way.

Just curious about what number we land on…if true

FInished  1137 my order number was high 35k I assume this is how many have sold
Interesting; my Pro Order # was low 24k and my Guest Order # was two numbers away from mine instead of back-to-back (mine ends in 4, theirs ends in 6)

That seems likely, and I only have two different browsers so it's not exactly a definitively large sampling number

Order in 36K.

Why does it say free? That was confusing.

Plus each page you go to is new 5 minute timer.




Other browser used to double check.  I think you'd have to enter another member ID, Validate, then can remove the previously purchased person?

So I wasn't planning on coming.  I had three windows open, one saying 20-minute wait (my login, Chrome), the second 35-minute wait (sis in law’s login, Safari) and the third over an hour (bro’s login, Firefox).  When my turn came up, everybody I was buying badges for already got theirs, so on a lark, I decided to buy a badge for myself, my bro and my sis-in-law.  If they don't want their badges, I have until November 8 to get refunds.  My order number was 32250.  Finished at 11:22am PDT.

Done.  In the end the wait was 42 minutes even though it said it would be more than an hour.  The walking man was accurate, I thought it was walking too fast but in the end it was more accurate than the estimated time.  Took 40 secs to be redirected after it said it was my time.  Be patient and don't think it's broken.  The volunteer registration let me expect this.  Took me about a minute to checkout.

I do find it's interesting that badge pickup is in Hall H and not in Sails.  So I guess we can all say we made it into Hall H this year.

Looks like it.  That's a lot of badges. :)

FWIW Comic-Cons have been the impetus for my most improbable 'impulse buys' over the decades  :P

I wonder if that's to true to minimize throngs of people on the escalator waiting to pick up badges.  Hall H has so much room and multiple doors, it could be easier to socially distance/process more badge pick-ups. 
FWIW I've been to a few non-CCI conventions at the SD Convention Center, and when Hall H is not set-up SDCCI-style it has REALLY tripped me out: super bright, no chairs, sometimes not 'walled off.'

Update:
Safari was pulling ahead of Firefox, but now Firefox walking dude has sprinted ahead with a two minute lead!  It's gonna be a down-to-the-wire photo-finish, folks!!

Hmm. My confirm email was 11:10am and my order number was 29Kish. 6K orders in 27 minutes seems low. Although I guess that could be 18K badges if everyone bought 3. But then how did they sell 29K in the first ten minutes?

That could include Pros + Press.
