I have a question - According to SDCC the Sept Child Badge cut-off references Returning Registration - Does this mean that there would be a different Child Badget cut-off date later for Open Registration - If so, how would they know when you showed up to get a child badge when you get to SDCC - Does the RIFD badge indicated that you registered during Returning or Open reg? Also, what about Pros with Children - will there be a separate child badge cut-off date for them too?
I am running into nothing but issues with this process. My son turns 13 on September 30th. Since there was no way to create his member ID until Oct 1st I contacted the Comic Con folks but have not received any information back. I am a little worried since their auto reply email says that they are at the San Diego Convention center and will get back to me when SDCC 2017 ends, so that is a little out of date.I have another I am trying to register for 2018 but his birthday already passed so creating the Member ID was easy, now the issue is that the code on the back of his badge is only 5 digits. It gives me an error that it requires 6. I send a second email to them. Has anyone else run into this issue? Anyone gotten around it somehow? Thanks
I appreciate the response but that appears to be a fax number.
Hey there Comic-Con fans, Child to Junior Validation has been extended till October 6! #SDCC comic-con.org/cci/2018/child…
To accommodate the transition from child to junior (age 13-17), we have set a static date to determine who is considered a child for Comic-Con 2018. If your child is age 12 or under on September 30, 2017, you do not need to buy a junior badge for Comic-Con 2018 and they may still attend as a child with a paying adult. If they are age 13 or older on September 30, 2017, you must create a Comic-Con Member ID and purchase a junior badge for Comic-Con 2018.Wait … what does this mean again?Children who turn 13 or older on September 30, 2017 and attended Comic-Con 2017 with a paid adult must purchase a junior badge if they wish to attend Comic-Con 2018. But fear not! They are eligible for Returning Registration!Ahhh, I see! My child turns 13 on August 30, 2017, so she will need a junior badge. Where do I start?First things first! A Member ID is required for every badge purchase. When creating, make sure to select "Junior" as the membership type! Click here to sign up for a Member ID today! [2] All finished! She has created a Member ID. What’s the next step?Once you have created a Comic-Con Member ID and confirmed the email address, log in to the Member ID account [2], select the “Registration Info” tab, and enter the child badge number. The badge number is located on the back of the Comic-Con 2017 child badge, under the emergency contact phone number. All child badge numbers start with a “901”, “900”, or “777” prefix. You will need to select the correct prefix from the dropdown list and enter the remaining characters in the field that follows. You will not need to input the dash. The deadline to validate a child badge is October 6, 2017! But she already has a Member ID account!Great! Log in to the existing Member ID account [2] and follow the steps above. I’ve followed all the steps and the child-to-junior validation link isn’t visible! Help!The birthdate may not be in the correct range for child-to-junior validation, or you accidentally registered as an adult membership type during new account creation. If the validation link is not visible, please use the "contact us" feature before October 6, 2017 to correct your membership type or birthdate. Remember, only children who attended Comic-Con 2017 are eligible to participate in the child-to-junior badge validation process. What happens next?If your validation process rivalled the flight speed of Superman and Silver Surfer combined, the next step is to simply … wait. Returning Registration dates will be announced soon! Now, go forth and validate that child badge before October 6, 2017! Class dismissed!
The child-to-junior validation period is now closed!All child badge validations were due by October 6, 2017. If you have already completed this process, please visit our website frequently for updates about Returning Registration. We recommend that you log in to your Member ID account to verify that you have confirmed your email address as soon as possible. Remember, the Member ID system will close -- without notice -- in advance of Returning Registration.
I have a child transitioning to junior this year (my nephew) and a child who is 13 but turned after the cut off in April (my son).But my son hit puberty HARD and is almost 6 feet tall with size 12 in mens shoes. He is also broad-shouldered and could pass for 16 or older. He won't pass for 12.We had to get him a child badge because we literally could not get him a member ID before the sale because he was too young. I contacted CCI to ask if I could just buy him a junior badge to stop people from assuming he stole some kid's badge at the doors, but they just keep quoting policy and telling me he's under the limit and therefore gets a child badge. I am sick with worry about it.
