We were a small group trying for 6 badges, we had 7 logs ins as one has decided not to go next year. We were lucky and got 6 badges for 4 days.

Now that most of us (I assume) have received our credit card confirmations, the last step is waiting for our barcodes, even though they're irrelevant since we now have our badges mailed to us.  Last year, most of us did not receive them, leading some of us to either contact CC or Epic to get them.

And no, I have not received any barcodes yet.
I got the cc confirmation late last night, so one less thing to worry about. No barcode though.

Barcodes will likely take a few more days.

Finally got mine this morning.  A little later than usual, but a big sigh of relief.

We got very lucky and were in what I believe was the first group to get in. Not sure what time that was exactly, but I had the SDCC UBlog hangout on, and as they were saying people still hadn't gotten in, I had gotten in. About 15 seconds later, as I was on the second page entering the other member IDs, was when they announced that they had seen someone on Twitter say they had gotten in.

It did get a little scary there for a couple minutes, when I got to the screen where you're supposed to type "Agree" in the box -- the page was being non-responsive. I couldn't click into the box to type. Then about 3 times a message popped up saying the page was being non-responsive and asking if I wanted to wait or close the page. Of course I wanted to wait! I took screenshots just in case. Eventually, it did end up working. Man, that was a very stressful couple of minutes though.

Actually, you know what, I guess I do know what time we got in. I remember seeing that we had until 9:22am to complete the purchase. Subtract 15 minutes and that would be 9:07am when we got in.

Did anyone else have any trouble during the purchase process?

Yes. Violet , the exact same thing happened to me. I had validated all 3 member Id's entered the number of days along with my CC information. As I went to check out I got that crazy pop up message.  Unfortunately I was unable to process.  I do have screen shots

Ahhh, sorry it did not end up working for you! Glad you got the screenshots. It'll take a little extra effort, but based on past experience, CCI will make things right for you :)

The yellow box message that they posted early on about how PN was not a standalone option almost gave me a heart attack. It popped up with the first two words = "Preview Night" and I thought it was an inventory warning (it was way too early, but I was not thinking straight). Don't they know we are in a fragile state during badge sales?! LOL!!
I hiccuped on the AGREE page, but it was user error. My cursor was on a different window, and I was typing and nothing was happening. Later on, DH was closing files and he asked why the top line of his notepad file had "AGR" across the top. XD

So can someone explain to me how the hell I’ve gone and got us the four main days again for 2019?? Thrice in a lifetime?? This madness has to end  ;D

WE ARE THE CCI GEEKS... YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIMILATED. RESISTANCE WAS FUTILE...

:P

This year, we had a group of about 12. Four of us got through, so everyone got 4-day badges. The prior two years, a friend had gotten in first and bought me and my wife badges, and I was finally able to repay the favor and get him a 4-day badge this year. My purchase session started at 9:19am. We received the purchase confirmation email sometime yesterday.

It's weak that once you have someone buy your badge, you're locked out. My wife and I had 2 computers going and one session opened up after the others while Thursday and Sunday were still available, but we couldn't buy anything as we had purchased badges in the system. It would have been nice to be able to help a few other people out.

My group of friends lucked out and I think we were part of the first groups to get in. I got all 4 days plus preview night finally for the first time! And my other friends got the days that they wanted! So it was really good badge sale for us!

If someone buys a badge for you, your session is still active.  You can still get picked.  You're locked out if you leave your ID on the purchase page as one of the badges to be purchased.  You get around that by replacing your id with the id of someone else who has not purchased a badge.

In this case, all you would need to do is enter a new person's member id and last name instead of yours on the initial screen.  Then go in and purchase for them and two others.
