Good luck, [member=1818]juliafrood[/member], and let us know how it goes. :]
My guess is, if [member=1818]juliafrood[/member] is successful in transferring/refunding the badges, and also respects CCI's nondisclosure wishes, we shouldn't hear back at all.
She is gathering documentation to send in...wish her luck!
I posted this in my badge buying group with more details but this is public. Feel free to PM for details if you have ideas or need them to help though:I helped a friend and her two boys figure out what they needed to do in order to come to comic con this year. They have wanted to go for years, and this was the year. Boys are 15 and 17. They scored th/fri/sun badges. She has a chronic illness and now has a surgery scheduled for early July that she will not be fully recovered from before comic con. She had planned on using disability services while there, but that isn't an option now.Her 17 year old is the least nerdy of her crew and wants to stay home and help her. The 15 year old is DEVASTATED. He has been working on his cosplay costume since the morning of the ticket sale. He also can't drive or anything so staying home would be less helpful than it is for the 17 year old. We have offered to let him stay in our room and coordinate travel.BUT, 15 year old is kind of shy. I know he'll meet people, and I know some of you have teens, but he will probably end up hanging out with us, and most of what we do at night is 18 or 21 and over. During the day we sometimes meet with vendors and do things with our friends that we could not take another person along for. He would like for his cousins to come in place of his mother and brother, and we would be willing to help coordinate all three but would feel less bad when we can't adjust our schedule to do teenager stuff since they can go off alone. One is 18 and one is 16. We are in our mid-30's, so not nearly as much fun for a lonesome 15 year old.Would CCI allow a badge transfer from the mother/brother to the cousins to happen? Is there a specific person I should contact to ask? They can all send photo ID and birth certificates and photos of hanging out together to make it clear that they are not scalping the tickets to strangers. The mother can also send medical paperwork. Ugh
Dang, that's rough: my condolences to your friend and her boys in what are difficult times. I hope CCI can offer creative solutions for you. As a few others have chimed in, I have a 14.5 year old son who is also pretty shy but would likely LOVE to hang out with another kid his age.
Hmmm wonder if you've just stumbled upon something else this board can help with. Maybe members with teenagers could get together and discuss a meet up for them.
