I would also think the end of October, maybe the beginning of November.

I'm voting first half of October.  Mostly because that's when I'd like it to be, but also because child registration is earlier this year and they will be ready to go.

So if returning reg is happening a little earlier, would it follow that open reg would happen earlier as well? If it happens that first full weekend of PSX Anaheim I'll scream, it was a nightmare last year to do.

Looking at the email announcements CCI sent from last year, I've decided to change my vote to the end of September instead.
I hope this is the case so I can start planning my travel for the rest of the year.

I say early/middle October. Last year’s “child-to-junior” deadline was September 20th which resulted in having return reg. on October 28th. This year’s “child-to-junior” deadline is September 6th, so I am thinking a month later like last year. I do not see it during NYCC, which is October 4-7th. Go by history, they have never done a sale nor anything else important during NYCC.

Although I wouldn’t be surprised if they did announce the sale during the last few days of September. Yet CCI likes to give us fans (roughly) 2 weeks to get ready and they know most will be traveling to New York City as well.

Overall, October seems like the winner (unless noted) and your NYCC trip should be safe.

Edit: Interesting enough, last year’s priority volunteer reg. date was October 30th. I wonder if this will happen again? You know, happening right after the first attendee sale?

I'm also going with first half of October, which really is weekend of the 13th, since I also doubt anything will happen during NYCC.

I really want to lean late September because of the early child badge registration, but ehhhhh, I couldn't bring myself to click that button.
Do these tacos taste funny to you?

Nope. Open Reg was in December last year. Another early returning registration will likely mean open registration before the end of the year.

But could that mean before December? My fingers are crossed for end of November before the December conventions.

Yes. Open registration was held in December last year. It might be late November this year. Only CCI knows for sure.

Would be worst case scenario for me. Trapped on a half working laptop in Anaheim during PSX. Not a recipe for success.
