Subject: Comic-Con Second Chance Badge Resale



As you may be aware, badge sales on March 3rd did not proceedas we had hoped. All of us at Comic-Con have been working on trying to makeregistration as stress free as possible, even delaying badge sales to accommodatenew and updated information. Obviously we still had issues that resulted insome people not being able to purchase the number of badges they had hoped. Forthose who missed an opportunity to purchase a badge due to the email link delay,we will have a very special second chance badge resale of returned and refundedbadges!
 
The Comic-Con second chance resale will be open only to thosewho had a valid and confirmed Member ID as of February 29th, 2012. Additionally,anyone who has already purchased a 4-day badge (with or without Preview Night)or a Saturday badge will not be allowed to participate in this resale. This special badge resale is only for those who missed a chance atpurchasing a badge, not those who wish to upgrade or change their badgeselections. 
 
The purpose behind not allowing anyone who purchased a Saturday badge toparticipate is that Saturday badges were the first single day badge tosell-out, so those who purchased a Saturday badge had the opportunity topurchase a Thursday, Friday, and/or Sunday badge during the online sale, butvoluntarily chose not to. This special second chance resale is only forthose who did not already have the option to purchase all 4 days.
 
The special resalewill begin on March 27th, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time(PDT). There will be no link provided on our website or any social mediasites to access the sale directly. Comic-Con cannot however, stop people fromposting this link if they receive this email. Posting this link will onlydecrease your own chances of obtaining a badge by encouraging people to accessthe waiting room even though they do not have a qualifying Member ID.

The badge purchase process will be exactly the same as the March 3rd sale, however, you will only beable to register up to TWO people total during your online registrationsession, and you must have the unique Member ID and last name for eachindividual.
