I'M SO EXCITED!

Edit:  There appears to be conflicting times posted on their website.  One page says 9am PT and another says both 8am AND 9am PT.  Hopefully will be corrected soon.  Either way, at least we have a DATE!

Edit again:  Get into Waiting Room starting at 8am PT, before 9am PT!  Calendar marked!

For reference:

"Comic-Con 2016 badges will go on sale Saturday, February 20, during Open Registration! The EPIC waiting room will open for registration code authorization at 8:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), and badges will go on sale shortly after 8:00 AM PST. We encourage you to read all of the important information below."


Note: There is a typo, since the sale will start at 9:00 AM.

Update:

"Comic-Con 2016 badges will go on sale Saturday, February 20, during Open Registration! The EPIC waiting room will open for registration code authorization at 8:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), and badges will go on sale shortly after 9:00 AM PST.

How much confusion are they going to cause with this? Even though they got it right below that...

You must enter the waiting room before 9:00 AM Pacific Standard Time.

I noticed that as well, and was wondering how much confusion that was going to cause. At least it didn't say 10am PT...

Two things
1) Is it unusual that CCI would announce this far in advance?
2) Let chaos reign.

Seriously!  Why make it so convoluted?  haha

They updated the message, it makes more sense now:
"Comic-Con 2016 badges will go on sale Saturday, February 20, during Open Registration! The EPIC waiting room will open for registration code authorization at 8:00 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST), and badges will go on sale shortly after 9:00 AM PST."

MUCH better!

Yeah, I have a page monitor running on the post and they have updated it 3 times already. Nothing like proof-reading your content AFTER it's live...smh.

Luthien, explain the issue to CCI. Perhaps forward them a copy of the confirmation email from the day your friend made the account? When there is a genuine mistake, CCI, is usually very good about helping.

So, CC answered: they forgot to confirm their email addresses. They barely know english, I was going to help them get their badges on Open Registration since I already had mine, but I trusted them they could create a simple account.
I feel so heartbroken since I am going to have to ask for a refund since there is no way I can afford a hotel room by myself. Comic-Con organization told me it was a no-go, so I guess they don't make exceptions, even for honest mistakes. :(

I wish you all good luck on Open Reg, tho. May the odds be ever in your favor.

I'm sorry for the bad news, Luthien.  I'm glad that they were able to get back to you so quickly though.

You could always trying sharing a room with a few members on the forum.  We do have a room sharing thread for Comic-Con: You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

There will be a lot more posts in that thread as it gets closer to Comic-Con, so it may be of interest to you.  ^__~

Don't give up! there will be plenty of people looking for roommates!!


My control freak tendencies is sort of freaking out since I can't be with my group next Saturday because of work. 3 of us have badges, but our group is going to fill in days for everyone else. I just am freaking out that I can't physically be there. The BF will use my login on a separate computer though.
Do these tacos taste funny to you?
