The virtual waiting room will open at 7:30 AM PST on Saturday, November 15. Visit our Member ID Portal between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM PST to automatically enter the waiting room without any additional steps needed. If you’re randomly selected for a registration session during the badge sale, you will then be prompted to log in.

If you’re already logged in to your Member ID before the waiting room opens, simply click on “ Open Registration ” located in the top menu bar any time after 7:30 AM PST.

No. You won’t have the ability to navigate through your account details while the waiting room is active. If you’re buying on behalf of others, make sure to gather their Member ID and last name before the day of the sale (suffixes and special characters included, like a period, comma, tilde, etc.). If they’re unsure about whether their account’s last name includes a suffix, it’s crucial to check ahead of time as they won’t have access to their Account Dashboard for confirmation.

No matter when you or your friend enter the waiting room, once the sale begins, all attendees who joined between 7:30 AM and 8:59 AM are placed in a randomized virtual queue. Entering the waiting room earlier does not increase your chances of securing a session. Entry to the waiting room does not guarantee you a badge or registration session.

If you’re selected for a registration session, only the days still available will be shown. Status updates will be regularly posted in the waiting room, keeping you informed about diminishing badge availability. However, there’s a slight chance that even if you’re chosen for a registration session close to the end of the sale, there might not be any badges left to purchase once you’re moved to a registration session. Badge demand is much higher than the number of badges available. Your badge is only secured once your order is submitted. Keep in mind that daily badges may sell out while they are still in your cart, so it’s a good idea to finalize your purchase as soon as you’re ready. Once all badges are sold out, the waiting room will be closed for the current sale.
