Comic Con Registration Test Reminder

Don’t forget that 1,000 badges will go on sale tomorrow morning (December 15) starting at 8 AM (PST) for Comic Con 2011. Good luck getting your registration and fingers crossed that this new process will actually work.
UPDATE: It appears that some people were able to access the new registration sites for Comic Con; while MANY others still faced an error message or a notification that tickets were no longer available for the event. It’s too soon to tell what the organizers of Comic Con will announce next for those who were not a part of the 1,000 who claimed 4-day passes. Details to follow once they are announced.
Comic Con Registration Test – December 15, 2010 at 8 AM (PST)
Posted in Breaking News, Comic Con, Geekdom on December 13, 2010| 2 Comments »
1,000 Comic Con Badges will go on sale on December 15, 2010 at 8 AM (PST). Please read on for a word-for-word explanation from the Comic Con organizers:
“Over the past few weeks we have studied numerous options to remedy the problem caused by the sheer volume of badge requests and have not been able to find a single company solution to selling badges this year.
After two failures, we believe the best option is to use the combined efforts of both a ticket seller (TicketLeap) and a registration company (EPIC) in tandem. TicketLeap will be responsible for managing initial badge requests, while EPIC will send unique registration log-in codes, and process badge registration/payment.
We realize having to log in to two separate sites is an inconvenience, but we hope this will result in a successful and less stressful experience for attendees.
Before we implement this plan, we have scheduled a test with 1,000 4-day badges without Preview Night to make sure this plan will actually work.
THE PLAN:
On December 15 at 8:00am PST, 1,000 4-Day Comic-Con badges will be available by checking here for a TicketLeap registration link. Each 4-day badge will cost $105.00 for Adults and $52.00 for Juniors/Seniors and will require a $1.00 non-refundable deposit and a $2.00 non-refundable service charge per badge paid directly to TicketLeap. You will only pay the deposit and service charge at TicketLeap when you make your initial badge request. You will pay for your full Comic-Con 4-day badge separately on the EPIC registration website.
For this test, an individual may request up to two badges only. If you request two badges you will be charged a total of $6.00, a $2.00 deposit and a service charge of $4.00, that will be paid directly to TicketLeap at the time of request. If you are among the first 1,000 people to request a badge, TicketLeap will send you a confirmation e-mail that will confirm the number of badges you are able to purchase. If badges are sold out when you make your request, you will not be charged anything for participating in this test. If you receive a confirmation from TicketLeap, but decide not to purchase a badge from EPIC, your $1.00 deposit and $2.00 service charge is still non-refundable.
After you receive your TicketLeap confirmation, EPIC will send you one e-mail for each badge confirmed by TicketLeap. Be sure to add registration@epicreg.com to your e-mail contacts or address book so your registration e-mail won’t go to your SPAM folder. Check your SPAM folder if you do not receive an e-mail from EPIC within three hours after tickets have sold out on TicketLeap. The EPIC e-mail will contain one unique log-in code and additional instructions on how to pay for your badges. You are not registered at this time. You must log-in to EPIC and pay for your badges after you receive the e-mail. You will have 24 hours only from the time you receive your e-mail code from EPIC to log in to the EPIC site and purchase your badges. The badges are $105.00 for Adults and $52.00 for Juniors/Seniors, but as a thank you for participating in this test, you will receive a $3.00 credit per badge purchased upon EPIC check out.
Because this is a test you are limited to two 4-day badges without Preview Night only, but based on the results of this test we may set a different limit for future sales.
We understand the inconvenience this process has been, but we thank you sincerely for bearing with us and taking part in this test which we hope will mean a better registration experience for everyone.”
GOOD LUCK!

Breaking News: Comic Con Registration Fails Again!

Were you like the hundreds of thousands who were up early this morning hoping to get registered for Comic Con? If you were like me, you were. And, just like last time IT DIDN’T WORK!!
Here is a statement from the folks at Comic Con about the registration server failure.
Let’s hope whatever registration options they go with it is fundamentally better than what we’ve been dealing with, as this is just ridiculous.
Anyone with me on that opinion?!

New Comic Con Registration Date and Time
Posted in Breaking News, Comic Con on November 8, 2010| Leave a Comment »
Were you among the MANY who could not get through the registration process for Comic Con 2011 back on November 1? Were you extremely frustrated when the registration was closed and it was announced that a new registration date would be announced on November 8?
Well, today was the day for the grand announcement of the new registration date and time for Comic Con 2011 and what was the result: Monday, November 22 at 6 AM Pacific Time. Yes, you read that right – 6 AM Pacific Time.
Now, I’m sure this earlier start time for registration has been arranged for when internet traffic isn’t quite as busy; but that is EARLY!! For the many who actually work day jobs, requiring them to be at work by 8 AM (or even 9 AM), this will make for a very busy morning especially if there are any glitches like what happened on November 1.
Let’s all hope the Comic Con organizers have planned ahead with plenty of contingencies should any glitches happen on November 22 otherwise there are going to be a lot of angry people. Mark your calendars and be prepared!
Here is a link to the details at the official Comic Con site.
