Hi!

Looks like I'm the first alarmist so say, "Hey does anybody know when SDCC 2017 Verification Materials are due?  I have received no email, and in the past they have been due on December first.  I did check the site and can find no Due Date for 2017 materials.  It still displays this message for 2016 "The Comic-Con 2016 press application period is now closed. We are not accepting any additional applications for Comic-Con 2016.  For more information on Comic-Con 2016 press registration please visit [bla, bla].  And the link to the press application checklist is broken. 

Please feel free to tell me to shut up and be patient.  I can do that,  ...maybe.

From within member ID Notices (overdue a bit):

The Comic-Con 2017 press application period is not yet open. We anticipate that it will open sometime in October 2016.

so did the press registration happen in October, or has it not happened yet?

Asking for my friend.

Thanks

I wonder if a sea change* is underway... everything seems to be taking a bit longer this year.

*hopefully something to do with how hotels are booked.

Hey guys,

I've just realized  I did not send my credentials this year and never got a mail about it. I thought I missed it but just found this thread.

So still no news as of today ?

Thanks,

Romain

There is still no information. Given that it is the holidays now, I don't think we will hear until the new year.

Let's hope that the application window is only open for a short period of time and that SDCC are quick in replying to those that have applied.

I wonder if the lack of checklist will mean some changes for how press is verified? I'm up for re-verification and kind of worried I won't have the time to get this done when/if it opens.

Besides, returning reg is happening soon. Will press get lumped in with that?

Just checking in here to see if all have received the Wonder Con press emails. In the links sent they have new pdf files that show new requirements as to what will be considered valid verification materials i.e. the time when the items were posted/used. In the past it was 18 months now it is reduced to 6 months. "THREE examples of either industry related bylined (credits member’s name) articles, photos or videos published within the last 6 months. Please provide the exact URL address for each of the bylined articles."

I am not doing wonder con this year. At least they sent out the email with the deadline date of February 24 for Wonder Con press consideration. Good luck to all who are in same boat as I am for Comic Con (my materials are due this year yay me..ugh)
