SDCC 2019 Open Registration Buying Groups
« on: October 19, 2018, 09:08:33 AM »
I am happy to announce that FoCC buying groups will continue for open registration for SDCC 2019.  If you were in a returning registration OR open registration buying group last year for SDCC 2018, the following groups will be formed again for 2019 badges:

Transmute Jun Group
TardisMom Group
Batgirl/TeriQueen Group
NCDS Group
Louie_Rob_M Group
Epicaz/Takit0 Group
Sefton42/Jon.Reynolds Group
Jristen Group
Wolfgirl1272 Group
BenEatsRice Group
TSnyder Group
Clambert1273 Group

You should receive a contact from these groups. If you do not, please contact the group leader.

UPDATE: All SDCC 2019 Open Registration Buying Groups are now closed.

Joining a buying group requires commitment to the group. All members of all buying groups must be willing and able to do the following things:

  • Be eligible for the 2019 open registration badge sale.
  • Share personal information with the group leader. This includes (but may not be limited to) your last name, phone number and email address.
  • Purchase badges for strangers (other people in the group, whom you may not know). Note that you are not allowed to buy badges for anyone who is not in your buying group. As such, make sure your friends/family are all in the same buying group.
  • Stay online/in the waiting room during the sale even if a badge has already been purchased for you, to help out others in the group by buying for them.
  • If you get in to buy and validate member IDs for people in your group, buy for those people. Validating a member ID causes it to be locked out for 15 minutes, so it is important to purchase for anyone who is validated.
  • Join in a group chat (to be determined by the group leader) to stay in touch with your group on registration day.
  • If someone else buys a badge for you, payment should be made immediately (usually Paypal) to the buyer. Ideally this should be done within 24 hours of the badge sale.
  • If you buy badges for someone else, you should mail a screenshot or copy of the confirmation email to them immediately, so that they can confirm that they have a badge. At this time, it is appropriate to offer your payment information (usually Paypal) so that they can refund you.

In addition to these rules, individual group leaders may have other restrictions as to how their group is run. These rules are in place to ensure a smooth buying experience that is fair to everyone. Any group member who breaks these rules can and will be prevented from participating in further buying groups on this site.

Good luck to everyone during the upcoming open registration!

Clambert 1273's group is full. Her group is being closed.

However, [member=7714]EternalZan[/member] is starting up a new group. Those who are still interested in joining a buying group for open registration, please fill in this form.

You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login

Note that buying groups will close when full, which may happen with minimal or no notice.

The opening post is being updated with this information.
