Yes, it's me again. Battling the post con blues. I hope they do pre-registration in the same time frame as last year! Discuss...

edit: Oops! Corrected to the newest name. Still can't get the hang of that!

A few points for newbies that come up every year:

* You had to have attended in 2018 to be eligible for 2019 returning registration
* Someone who is eligible cannot buy a badge for someone who is not. All parties that someone is buying for must be eligible.
* Odds are a little better for getting badges, but there are no guarantees.
* Yes, there are buying groups for pre-registration, but this thread is for general discussion. When pre-registration draws nearer, there will be threads for discussing buying groups. Please refrain from repeatedly questioning when the buying groups will start up.

Additional edit: With credit to accelerate:

As a reference, PreReg for 2018 happened on October 28th, 2017, which was way earlier than  for SDCC 2017, which happened on March 11, 2017.

Yes,  I am now in the post-con dip and need to start looking forward to next year.  I am planning even earlier this time, because so many want to attend the 50th.  I think the 'battle' for tickets and hotels may be more fierce than ever!
It is 2024, and I am still asking...where's my flyin' car??!! @fannishmarcia

Was just going to mention that! And it looks like they are already doing promo for it, I don't remember them ever being this early. I imagine this is going to be a tough year for first-timers!

Already? I've been stressed out since mid-con. I remember walking through the Exhibit Hall, wondering if I'll be back next year.

Yes. I was just thinking about that myself. I made a huge mistake this year thinking two days would be enough to see everything at the Con. I had an opportunity to go all 4 nights plus preview but thought that might be to much since this was my second time going. Well I was wrong I spend all of Friday in Hall H and all of Saturday in Ball room 20. I had to cut my time short in ball room 20 so I could see the other exhibit halls. Now I'm stressed out even more since this will be the 50 th anniversary. I know if I ever get a chance of going all 4 days this time I will go for it.

I've heard that they have epic plans for the 50th.

Did anyone go to the Talkback panel? Was there any indication as to when badges may go on sale?

I was there at the Talkback for about the first 45 minutes and don't recall this coming up... I didn't bother asking, just figured that we'd get the same old response "You'll find out when we let you know".

A picture I took this year at Comic-Con is now the screen saver on my phone.  Now, every time I use my phone, it puts a smile on my face, and helps me relax.

I've never started anticipating and thinking about next year's con so early as I have for 2019.

We're barely into August and I'm already incredibly excited about the prospect of attending the 50th anniversary of Comic-Con.

Next years programming and exclusives are going to be amazing!
