2013 SDCC

I woke up at 3am this morning thinking I overslept. and thus woke up like every 30 minutes. So at 6am I headed into the office for a faster internet connection than I have at home, plus I'll be able to have access to an additional computer besides my laptop. Additionally, I had my iPad with me.

I timed out on both computers and iPad, but I was about to get in line around the 8,000 position. I was able to score a 4 day pass w/out preview night, and was able to get my wife individual passes for all for days.

It would appear they only allotted about half of the passes allotted for 2013 and will probably make the other half available in the spring, unless they stagger the tickets availablility. I might try again for a 4 day pass with preview night. We'll see.

However, I'm kind of freaking out because I haven't received a confirmation email and forgot to print out a copy of my confirmation when I completed my registration. And I can't log into my Comiccon account. Until I receive my email confirmation, I'll be weary of not getting in.

Now, I have to worry about hotel registration again.

I'm getting too old for this kind of shit.

I think they send out the confirmation emails within 48-72 hrs.

Yeah, me too. And after I was done a friend of mine who was all set in the first ten minutes of the sale was like:

Oh Crap! We should have coordinated!

Alas.

I was concerned about next year's pre-reg, and whether or not only people with 4-day passes will be able to participate, but Tumblr is telling me that any combination of passes will be able to participate in today's sale.

I've never gotten four days individual before, do I really have to wait in that line every day to get in?

In the past few years, they would allow you to pick your badge for the next day around 3 or 4pm the day before. However, I think if you go to the Town & Country site, they'll give you all your individual days at once. I've seen a guy on Thursday with all his four badges as he was wearing them around his neck, as literal badges of honor.

Personally, before receiving the email on Wednesday about 2013 pre-registration, I thought they would give people with 4 days passes and preview night dibbs on next year's event. I'm dissappointed they didn't. Additionally, I was hoping for some sort of grandfather clause for those you have attended the event for five consecutive years. Oh well. That's life.

I hope to everyone at SDCC 2013 at the kilt again, eventhough I won't be getting into preview night.

We will process your credit card payment within the next 48-72 hours, and if your card is successfully charged, you will receive a receipt of the transaction and the official Comic-Con barcode information.

I'm getting too old for this kind of shit.

I feel you.

I'm still ticked that I timed out. That blunder cost me 4 minutes and at least 8000 spots and a shot at Preview night.

At any rate, congrats to those that got passes. Hopefully, we can all meet up at the Kilt again for drinks, PROJECTILE and ROBINSON.

Thanks for the info. I was reading on ComicCon's Facebook page that some people have already received their confirmations via email. Which causes me to be more anxious.

Were you able to get yourself passes, Projectile?

Yeah, was able to get 4 single day badges.

Schlepping out to Town and Country won't be too much of a hardship, seeing as I'll be skipping Preview Night. Well...provided I get a decent hotel assignment that is.

Here's to hoping. A lot can happen in a year.

Word!!! I lost out on Preview Night too.

I'm going to take a nap.

FUCK!!!

My feelings exactly!!!

I was trying right at 8 but I couldn't get the page up. Finally got in around 17K. My goal as always was a 4 day with Preview but instead I was able to get Thursday, Friday and Sunday. Saturday just sold out before me but 2 out of the last 3 years (including last year) did not go on Saturday just to take a break and it's so crazy! So I was OK with that. Turned around to get my Brother in-law his and Friday gone!

I'm with Sylent, I would have rather did a first come first serve at the Con and give up the time than have to stress on this.

My friend from Jersey got in at 2179. He got a 4-day with Preview Night. *shrugs*

I came into work just for a better connection, but all the good that did. I clicked the link right at 8 and it sat there for 2 minutes and timed out. I scrambled back to my personal email for the page to hit the link again and waited another 2 minutes. When I finally got through, I was 12,000th in line.

I'd like to know who voted for this process over onsite registration. I would have gladly sacrificed one night of sleep to not deal with this nonsense.

I'm going try to move on now and not think about it anymore.

[Sylent_Asassin Black Lantern Find all posts View Profile Close Sylent_Asassin]

I'm getting more and more upset as I read about all these newbies who just were able to click and load the page faster. I can't believe I didn't get a better position in line and I feel so mad that I didn't try to get hooked up earlier. I just figured it would be "ok" because of how they were presenting it. Never again. I will pull out every desperate measure I can moving forward. It's so sad that it's come to that.

I'm going try to move on now and not think about it anymore.

I feel you. I just read Facebook's SDCC page and it seems everyone on there got 4-days with Preview night. It's frustrating and disheartening, especially because of the timeout error, but like you, I'm going to try and not think about it. As I said before, at least we'll get a bunch of WB bags.

I'm going to try and get some work done now since I'm in the office.

Sorry to hear about the registration Fuck up guys.

My group got the 4 day WITHOUT preview night. This is the first time in 11 years I will not be attending preview night.

[plastroncafe Alpha-Lantern Find all posts View Profile Close plastroncafe]

The last time I didn't get a Preview Night badge I ended up just being able to walk right in anyway. May give that a go next year.

At this point my only real concern is where I'm staying, and being able to get all four of my day passes printed at once, so I'm not standing in that line every morning.
