Title: SDCC 2018 Returning Registration Status Updates (During the Sale)
Post by: Zero on October 24, 2017, 08:34:23 AM
Greetings, everyone! 

This is a separate thread from the regular SDCC 2018 Pre-Registration Thread (http://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=8588.0) to house all of the "yellow bar" status updates from the returning registration sale's waiting room (and possibly other relevant status updates).

When I open this thread on the morning of the open/general 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" message.

Conversations will be removed without notice.


If you want to comment or make small talk during the sale, please head over to the pre-registration discussion thread:
http://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?topic=8588.0

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 pre-registration sale!  ^__^

As a reminder from above, 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.  Conversations will be deleted without notice to keep this thread clear.

Thank you for understanding!

"Thank you for joining us! Now that your registration code is authorized, feel free to come back 5 — 10 minutes before 9:00 AM (PDT). If you are buying for others, like your Vulcan father Sarek and human, troublemaking, half-sister Michael, now would be a good time to verify you have their correct Member ID and last name. #StarTrekDiscovery #RR2018"

"After recent climate events, millions are still without power or water. UNICEF USA is working hard to get supplies to the most vulnerable. After today’s sale, visit eBay to bid on a pair of Comic-Con 2018 4-Day with Preview Night badges. 100% of proceeds go to UNICEF USA. #SDCC #RR2018 #UNICEFUSA"

"Shortly after 9:00 AM Pacific Daylight Time (PDT), we’ll begin randomly sorting into groups within the waiting room. In the meanwhile, re-read Paper Girls #16 and don't hit the refresh button at 9:00 AM or you risk getting kicked out of the waiting room and hurtled backward through time to 1988. #PaperGirls #RR2018"

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.

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.

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.

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 your badge selections and make changes (if needed) on the final checkout screen.

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.

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.
