<div class="MsoNormal"><span>As you may be aware, badge sales on March 3</span><sup><span>rd</span></sup><span> did not proceed
as we had hoped. All of us at Comic-Con have been working on trying to make
registration as stress free as possible, even delaying badge sales to accommodate
new and updated information. Obviously we still had issues that resulted in
some people not being able to purchase the number of badges they had hoped. For
those 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 refunded
badges!</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span>The Comic-Con second chance resale will be open only to <i>those
who had a valid and confirmed Member ID as of February 29</i></span><i><sup><span>th</span></sup></i><i><span>, 2012. </span></i><span>Additionally,
anyone who has already purchased a 4-day badge (with or without Preview Night)
or a Saturday badge will <b>not</b> be allowed to participate in this resale.
<b>This special badge resale is only for those who missed a chance at
purchasing a badge, not those who wish to upgrade or change their badge
selections.</b> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span> </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><span>The purpose behind not allowing anyone who purchased a Saturday badge to
participate is that Saturday badges were the first single day badge to
sell-out, so those who purchased a Saturday badge had the opportunity to
purchase a Thursday, Friday, and/or Sunday badge during the online sale, but
voluntarily chose not to.</span> This special second chance resale is only for
those who did not already have the option to purchase all 4 days.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><b>The special resale
will begin on March 27<sup>th</sup>, 2012 at 8:00 a.m. Pacific Daylight Time
(PDT).</b> There will be no link provided on our website or any social media
sites to access the sale directly. Comic-Con cannot however, stop people from
posting this link if they receive this email. Posting this link will only
decrease your own chances of obtaining a badge by encouraging people to access
the waiting room even though they do not have a qualifying Member ID.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">The link for this resale is: <a target="_blank" href="http://www.comic-con.org/cci/second_chance.php">http://www.comic-con.org/cci/second_chance.php</a></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Please note, this link <b>will
not be active</b> until 8:00 a.m. PDT. If you click this link early, you will
receive a “<i>404 – NOT FOUND</i>” error
page and you will need to close your browser window and click the link again at
or after 8:00 a.m. PDT.<span> </span>We recommend
that you bookmark this link prior to the sale, copy and paste it into your
browser, or manually type in the URL.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"></div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">The badge purchase process will be <i>exactly the same</i> as the March 3rd sale, however, you will only be
able to register up to TWO people total during your online registration
session, and you must have the unique Member ID and last name for each
individual.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">To verify the Member ID and last name you should use to
sign-in to the EPIC online badge system, please visit <a target="_blank" href="https://secure2.comic-con.org/memberid/">https://secure2.comic-con.org/memberid/</a>
and login to your Member ID account. Your correct EPIC login info will be
displayed at the top of the page. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal"> </div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><i>Please keep in mind
that returned and refunded badge inventory is very limited.</i> There are more
single day badges available than 4-day badges. Although we would like to
accommodate everyone who wants to attend, Comic-Con in no way guarantees that
you will be able to obtain your desired badge category during this resale.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal"><br>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Comic-Con will also sell additional returned badges sometime after the refund deadline date of May 15, 2012.</div>

resale to <a href="mailto:attendeereg@comic-con.org">attendeereg@comic-con.org</a>.</div>
