Maybe being on the east coast helped a drop. RP is CT not NY based. I always do feel being on the coast may make a slight difference for when they make things active but could that also depend where the website servers sit?

Is that why I can never score SDCC badges on my own? Lol!

According to their official Twitter account, the Saturday badges are being held because other people are in the process of purchasing them. They'll become available if their cart times out or they delete them from their cart.

Yay!! I was able to purchase Thursday, Friday and Sunday tickets. It let me put 1 Saturday ticket in my cart but when I clicked to go to the next page, it stated that Saturday was sold out.

If it makes it easier since I seem to be able to get into the shopping page faster, maybe I can help purchase badges for people next year.

As [member=1222]mllNY[/member]  said, tickets to SDCC are random.

I'm in NY,  and i've gotten SDCC tickets on my own.

Then I must have really bad luck with SDCC because I had been trying since 2014 with no luck on my own. XD

My advice...

1.  Sign up as a volunteer
     Last year I met a woman from Jersey who does that.  She does not do open registration.  It's my backup plan if I don't score a badge.

2.  Join or set up a buying group

You have a 6% chance of getting a badge in the general sale. The odds are pretty low if you don’t work with other people.

For what it’s worth I have gotten through in the general sale and I’m a NY resident.

How did you figure out 6%? It's nice to know all the other NY residents can get in. LOL

I think the volunteer thing is a good idea and will keep that in mind. If you do volunteer, do you get a badge for all days or just the day you volunteer?

Unfortunately, I'm a lone wolf. I have very few friends and none of them are interested in attending comic cons.
