Awesome, thank you so much Andrew, I was going nuts counting against You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login because this site seems to show a different time whenever I refresh the page. I checked on other sources and we are indeed 15 hours ahead until November. (Geez I really hate this daylights saving thing WHAT IS THE POINT URGGH)

Anytime!   :)

This whole Daylight Saving Time was the idea of politicians appealing to farmers.  I don't know the whole history of it though.

I'm confused how it's going to work for my gf and I.  I take it we should both log in and try getting our badges.  But do we go for individual badges or try to get both at the same time?  I just hope we don't get to some final screen and it says something along the lines of "your ID is already logged in...too bad!" I don't know.  Anyone else in the same situation?

Not sure I understand the question. The only time you'd see a message that the Member ID is already done is after the purchase has been completed so you and your gf should already know who has badges and who needs one.
...you had me at hello...

I believe the question is whether or not him and his girlfriend should each try to get in the waiting room separately or try and buy one ticket and then the next.

Personally, I would try to get two spots in the waiting room "just in case" :)

I also agree.  I'm trying to go with my son and I'm having both us try to get into the waiting room and the first one in will buy both tickets.

I'm also happy they didn't give several weeks advance notice on the date.  I'm nervous enough about Saturday and would hate to have it drag on longer.  To that end, I'm hoping the registration system doesn't have any issues when thousands of people simultaneously click on the link.

Does anyone know what type of credit cards they will accept?  Hoping they take American Express.

Watch the video. I'm sure it shows it there.

Actually it's to save electricity costs. Given that daylight is limited in the winter months, the adjustment is to try and get as much daylight into 'normal working hours' as possible, so that there is less usage of light, heating, etc.

So what do we do if we have a child that turned 12 while CC was underway this year? (They were 11 at the time of badge sales so a junior badge did NOT need to be bought and they will not have an ID.) They will turn 13 once CC 2013 rolls around.

Are we totally screwed during pre-sale badge buying this weekend?

I don't think so, visa or mc, get one of those pre-paid cards

eta; I stand corrected, apparently, Am Ex is accepted according to another fan!  I'm trying to get an official announcement about what is or is not accepted.

I used an Amex (and am the other fan Alyssa is referring to). You can also get the official word from 2012's helpful tips PDF: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Good luck to everyone in the Saturday pre-reg badge sale.  I'll be sitting it out (press) and waiting for the next shoe to drop.

I'd be happy to create a private area, if you want to organize it.
