That better happen fast, because isn't the "hotel day" debacle usually in February?
Now, look, I understand that this is all in an effort to make things work quicker and smoother for everyone involved, and I know a massive convention like SDCC is a logistic nightmare. That said...is adding MORE steps to the process, not to mention pushing the whole thing later, really a proactive step?
Really, they've been putting off open registration for so long now, in the back of my head there's a nasty little voice saying "they sold all the tickets before the 2011 convention was over." I'd never think they did that on purpose, but hell, if memory serves, preview night 2011 sold out before SDCC 2010 was over. I'd hate to see San Diego become a "you go every year, or you don't go at all" convention.
Mainly because I can only go every other year.
Trying to pre-register at the 2011 convention was a nightmare, too. They said pre-registration was open from 8-noon or some such thing, but every time we showed up at 8:30, it said it was closed for the day. So now, even though I had a badge for last year, I have to try my luck online this year in order to go. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
