SDCC 2013 On-Site Pre-Reg -- Yes people are talking already

I totally agree with that plan! I think that, no matter how much people complain, there will always be those that are willing to absorb the cost of waiting in line for one day to insure that they get the passes that they want for the next year.
If they limited the badges to one per person, then it would streamline the Pre-Reg process to make sure that people aren't waiting in line for no good reason. Or, if they were somehow able to check for Member ID's, limiting it to maybe two or three.

Seriously. I third this. At-con badge purchases for yourself only--it would also make things so much easier for registration for attendees and staffers alike.

There I have a problem. I spent $175 on tickets this year. I can't justify spending money to stand in line to spend MORE money for the following year's Con.
There was never really a problem for buying pre-sale badges in years previous to 2011; you walked up, filled out a form, and gave them your money. I honestly never had to wait in line to buy them until last year, when they announced that they would be limiting badge sales; people either bought them onsite or gambled to buy them online when they went on sale.

That's exactly my point. The only reason there was a problem last year was because they were limiting the badge sales instead of just selling as many as people wanted to buy. I'm suggesting that they don't limit it this year either, except in that people can only buy ONE badge for themselves.

I wouldn't mind the one/person idea but if cci wants to maintain their family friendly mission, some accommodation has to be made- like,
if a 12 yo child badge stands in line, they should be able to buy their jr badge for next year and
maybe,
you can buy another badge if a)you have their official ID and b) ALL the addresses match. This way a family could buy badges.
