Just a note, sometimes in the resale, you are ineligible if you got a Saturday badge. The logic is that if you got a Saturday badge (they sell out first), you had the opportunity to buy all days.

Your facts are in error. Saturday badges don't sell out first. 4 day bagdes w/ Preview night sell out first. The fault in your logic is that it does not take into account the people who wanted preview night and couldn't get it. The message to those people is, "you are not as important to us as another customer", which is a bad message to be promoting.

Actually, last year when they first instituted that rule for the badge resale, they didn't have any preview night badges for that sale. They only had a few 4 day badges, and they broke them all up into single days. The ' Saturday Ban ' made sense, given what hey had available.

Register or LoginAt this point, it's only a guess as to how they will approach the resale so would recommend everyone stay on alert. It SHOULD be AFTER hotel sales but IF they do a special sale in response to the issues from today, I'd expect it early to mid March before we get into WonderCon season.

Actually, while last year they had an unexpected 'second chance' sale at the end of March, the REFUND sale is always after the *final badge refund date* in May (not the hotel day, which is usually much earlier). IIRC, that date is May 11 this year, so the refund sale would not be until then. That's not to say that they might not have a second chance sale though. I'm guessing a lot of people who did get through from yesterday were upgrading from the August sale and their badges now go back into the pool. So a second chance sale sometime in the next month is definitely possible, especially since there is precedent for it.
BTW, I think the reason there were so few badges in the refund sale last year is because many of them went during the second chance sale. So you would really need to count both sales together,
Khaaaaaaanh!!!:
yes. I know there is a refund sale may or june. I'm of the impression that there will be a special sale before then.
