Tried...I got the dreaded Frozen screen on my chrome browser, so my waiting room line # never advanced.  Meanwhile people who were in line after me got their tickets. 

All other browsers no luck.  Error and then 1-2 minutes in got the "waiting line room is full" message.

At least my 13 year old turned 13 AFTER the static date they set, so Luckily she's still free this year...but I wanted to try for a Junior Badge anyway because I didn't want to have to go through this whole mess again next year.

Hopefully by then they will have a smoother transition in place.  Hate the thought of this happening again next year and I end up going alone without my daughter.  She would be so heartbroken.

That will be my situation next year, which is why I was wondering if anyone was able to do it this year.

Glad your daughter can attend this year, though! And there is the resale. All she'd need is a Sunday badge to be eligible for presale next year.

That's exactly what I was thinking!  :)  Will try again on the re-sale...however I've never had any luck with that.

Still Happy to have my 4 days this year though!  Will enjoy it.

A couple of people did, but CCI cancelled that program when they revised the age, effectively stating that 13 year olds can attend this year for free.

My wife and I did for our daughter. I haven't read it, but my wife tells me that we recieved a piority code to purchase her a 4-day pass without preview night. In addition, the purchase of this 4-day pass will allow make her eligible for the pre-registration next year. This is different from previuos information we recieved.

That info there makes me wonder if perhaps they will have plans for pre-reg eligibility next year for the 13 year old's who meet the static date and get in free for another year.  Possibility?

Glad someone there realized how sensible this is...

I hope so! As it is, I'm looking at wading into the general sale next year for my 12-going-on-13 year old.

personally, i hope cci finds a way to convert child badges in to paying Jr's at the age of 11 by adding them to their parents account & grandfathered status. 
in other words, i don't mind spending the money, i just mind not being able to get my kid a badge when i buy mine.

Alyssa, that is exactly my concern as well.

my sense is that they'll get it ironed out before pre-reg and i think narrow the bracket for child badges.

Well they could just start charging for childrens badges next year and that way they would be in the system.
