Smells like returning registration may be this Saturday. Anyone trying?

I got accepted as trade professional and curious how that'll all work!

I so hope returning registration is this weekend and then regular is soon to follow. I'm ready to move from the rough plans stage to the full on planning!

I have a creative professional status so I'm not 100% sure about this, but I believe trade has a similar registration process with one less guest.

They send a link where you can buy your badge and one guest. Registration lasts until they either run out of badges or the window itself closes (whichever is first). There's not usually a rush of people so you shouldn't have any problems getting your badge.

Also pretty sure trade pros are the last badge they sell (last year was creative, pre-reg, open-reg, trade).

It should be noted even for Creative Professionals they used their random waiting room for free guest badge access.

Forgot to mention that. Although I'm not sure it does that for Trade Pros since they don't get a free guest. Could be wrong though.

For the first time in many years I wasn't approved for Professional. Same job, same franchise, same application I've submitted before. Not sure if the rules or qualifications changed but I'm mega bummed. And because I haven't attended as a Regular in awhile I'm not eligible for Pre-Reg which means I have to brave the Open Reg.

If anyone has an extra Pro badge space I would be super grateful. Can repay the favor with VIP access to the Print Collectors Meetup!

Unfortunately you have to wait til next fall. The Press / Pro application period usually ends early October.

That's weird. Sorry to hear that. If you're going to brave open reg then I'd HIGHLY recommend joining a buying group online. It will increase your odds quite a bit. I usually try to help people during open reg and in the last 3 years I've only gotten to the front of the line once (Sunday badge only). Check the boards on Friends of CCI and you should be able to find a group.

You still have time, they haven't opened press this year. It is just the Pro stuff that closes in October.

by **EgoDeath** on Wed Feb 08, 2017 5:37 pm

http://www.comic-con.org/cci/press-faq watch this page for Press Updates. It's still showing last years info.

Thanks for the insight, bud :pint:

As creative, how many guest badges can you buy?
