In the waiting room.

I like that it says I can come back 15 minutes before they start as if I'm dumb enough to try that. I just leave the tab open for two hours thanks.

It's probably fine. It's just every year when I try to use this system when it was done a different way it was always a clusterfuck and never worked for me.

I'm thinking it will be the same way this time when tons of people try to get into the waiting room at once and aren't able to.

I could be wrong.

Yeah, that has been the case for me too. I'm almost sure everything will be ok (I reentered the waiting room), but I should know better than to trust blindly what the site says :downs:

It's pretty dumb. If they really want to lessen server load then show people where they are in line. Everyone after a certain number would probably just close the window and go do something else.

Eh, they use those vague messages to let you know as they run out but rather than hard numbers. You'll see one saying like "preview night is sold out" and poo poo later on.

For you, it was the last time you would ever post in YCS. But for me...it was Tuesday.
I sorta understand the logic behind random placement in line (since it doesn't matter what time you sign in during the 7 to 9 AM window, everybody won't rush in at 7 AM and crash their poo poo like years past).

However, it makes no sense that they don't tell you your spot in line once the random assignment has taken place. What could possibly be the reasoning for that? To encourage people to drop out (and decrease server load) out of boredom/hopelessness?

How does the purchase system work? If you get in can you purchase first and then ask if anyone else wants in? Or once you purchase that's that?

Got mine! I'm still in the waiting room with another member id, so if somebody needs two tickets, email me (EDIT: Taken!).

Edit: when you get in, you can add another two member ids and choose the tickets you want for each of them, and then you check out.

They used to tell you your spot in line and have a bar showing the amount of badges remaining for each day :smith:

I got Fri and Sun during the previous attendee registration, fingers crossed to pick up a Sat right now and a Fri-Sun for my friend. Otherwise I'll have nobody traveling with me to the con and have a gap in my attendance days :suicide:

I just realized I use more emoticons on Comic Con registration days than I do on every other day combined, so much ~stress~

He gets a payment confirmation email, you can paypal him the funds. The actual ticket emails go to the emails the user IDs are registered with.

Dope, thanks so much. Just to be 100% clear, the ONSLAUGHT ID from my email needs just Sat, and the Poestkoke ID needs Fri, Sat, Sun

ONSLAUGHT ID last name is Williams
Poestkoke ID last name is Poestkoke
