PASSWORD CHECK<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take a moment to confirm your Comic-Con Member ID<\/strong><\/a> login before<\/span><\/strong> sale day. Every year, we hear from attendees who realize too late that they\u2019ve forgotten their password. Since you\u2019ll need to log in if randomly selected for a registration session, double-check your access early and save yourself the stress!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

PAYMENT INFORMATION<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

Make checkout quick and easy by logging in to your Comic-Con Member ID account before<\/strong> November 15 to save your credit card information. When selected for Open Registration, you\u2019ll have 15 minutes to finish your badge purchase, so having your card ready ahead of time can save you valuable seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At checkout, you can either use a saved card or enter a new one. The payment method you select will apply to all badges in your order. If you have more than one card saved, be sure to select your preferred one. If someone else purchases your badge, their card will be used for payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Follow the steps below to save your card before the sale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

WAITING ROOM EXPECTATIONS<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The virtual waiting room for Open Registration opens bright and early at 7:30 AM Pacific Standard Time (PST) on November 15. To join, head to the Member ID Portal anytime between 7:30 AM and 9:00 AM PST \u2014 there\u2019s no special link or extra step required. Already logged in? Just select \u201cOpen Registration\u201d<\/strong> from the top menu after 7:30 AM PST to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep in mind that entering the waiting room doesn\u2019t guarantee a registration session. When badge sales begin at 9:00 AM PST, everyone in the waiting room will be placed into a randomized queue. If your turn comes up, you\u2019ll be prompted to log in to your Member ID to proceed. Only valid Member ID accounts will be able to access the sale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

*WARNING: If you arrive AT 9:00 AM PDT or later, you\u2019ll be placed at the end of the queue.<\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
