8 FEBRUARY 2013
I kind of hate myself for even potentially adding to the number of people trying to get a badge this coming Saturday - but I would be remiss in my duties if I didn't remind you stragglers that Monday, 11 February, is the last day you can apply for a Member ID. Which you need to buy a badge for San Diego Comic Con.
At least, I think Monday is the last day. The site just says Member ID applications are shut down as of 12 February, but doesn't say if that's at the start or end of the 12th - so it's best to be safe and assume Monday the 11th is the last day you can register for one. Once you have it, you'll be added to the list of people who get emails telling them the link to Saturday's badge sale.
You can get your Member ID here. Trust me, it's a painless process.
Can you bypass the link and go straight to actual comic con page? I did that last year but would you suggest? Sometimes the page does not load fast enough...
ReplyDeleteIf the page goes live and is open to the public at the same moment, then yes. As to what's quicker and more effective - who can say? It depends on so many variables, from your computer to your ISP to the site. That's what is so frustrating - there really isn't one sure-fire way to cut right in.
DeleteI'd suggest having two computers and using both methods.
I have a member ID but my friend forgot to sign up for his and now it's too late, know of any way for him to still acquire a badge?
ReplyDeleteShort of winning a contest, his best bet is to find someone like a retailer who has comped badges or exhibitor who needs help. Those are pretty much the only options at this point. Sorry.

ReplyDeleteDo you think while purchasing badges when it asks for which member ID's I want to buy for I could put ones that don't exist at the time and got my friends to signup under those ID's when they re-open member ID signup, would that work?
ReplyDeleteNo, that won't work. I like the way you think, though.
