In case you don't know, you can buy up to three badges at once. Also you can only log in a user ID on one computer. So you can't log one ID in on multiple computers.
Some people get into groups to help eachother. In our case, there are two of us and we both have IDs. So on Saturday morning we will log one of us into one computer and the other on another computer. We also have a friend who is going alone and only needs one badge. So if any of the three computers get through, all three of us can get badges.
Make sure you're on a good connection, not at a Starbucks or something where you could possibly lose wifi. Once the flood gates open at 9am PST, you'll be put in line. Lose your connection, go to the end of the line which 100% means you won't get anything.
From what the registration email says, the room will open at 8:00am PST (it was 7am last year). You can log in any time between 8-9am. If you're not in when it opens at 9:00, forget it.
At 9:00am PST they'll shuffle everyone and put them in line. You won't know your place in line. Everyone will be shuffled in groups to purchase badges. The screen that you see while you are waiting will update with a message about once a minute to let you know that you are still active. The order that badges sell out is: Wed - Sat - Fri - Thurs - Sun. The screen will update as the days sell out, if you don't get in first.
Once you are in, whatever is available will show up. Just pick what you want and purchase.
This is our 7th year going, if anyone has questions feel free to ask.
