Wait until after Wondercon in a couple weeks. I've also seen two people on Facebook groups with the same situation, and someone on Twitter. I think this is more of a widespread issue than they think it is.Their registration page was removed the day they cancelled the convention, without warning and their messaging before cancellation was "Don't rush to register!!!!".This is absolutely unethical on their part, especially considering professionals working in the industry are getting shafted due to their mixed messaging. I don't think this is "see both sides" issue at all, their Professional page was taken down prematurely.
"Unethical" seems a bit harsh, especially when referencing a legit "once-in-a-lifetime" (hopefully) global pandemic where our entire country had an 'emergency' shutdown for several months. I 100% get your frustration, and I'm working on a bit of a SNAFU on something on my own end having to do with CCI Member ID stuff so i also 100% get frustrations with CCI specifically. That being said, remember this has all happened because of a global pandemic. Add that CCI, for as large as its attendee base is, still is a relatively small non-profit operation employee-wise. Patience is a virtue and I'd like to think that after WonderCon in a few weeks they'll have more time to sort out this bit of a unique mess.
Overall in the future be like the rest of us, get your badges when you can ....you never know what can happen if you wait.
What an ignorant statement. You have no idea what people's life or financial situations are at the time the registration window is open and NEED to wait until a more appropriate time to make a large purchase. Trade Professional badges cost nearly $300. Maybe someone is waiting for a tax return, maybe there is a family emergency to care for before thinking of acting on something that has been guaranteed available by the company offering it.So overall in the future be more compassionate and think before you speak as some people may not have the privilege you do to get things when they can or want.
or....Again not talking about the past when they told you had time. Know that all of us would love to wait until it was just right to buy our expensive badge. I think most of just know that either buy the $300 badge now or we won't have a chance later. It's awesome that they give you a window, just myself personally I would be buying right away as who knows when something crazy is going to happen in the world these days and turn something guaranteed into sorry.
Now we know it's a good idea to renew or request Pro status ASAP; I see I'm good through next year.
No, that is not what happened. We were and currently approved as pros.
