Hey guys,
Am attempting to pay for my day trip tickets via the new Will Call feature and well, the registration link isn't working. Is anyone else having an issue? What's the fix? |

The first time I heard about "Will Call" was an email this morning. No comment. |

M1, You might try going to the main Historicon page. Then look under "Calendar" on the right hand side of the page. Then select "Historicon" and try to register from there. Seemed to work for me, but no guarantees. Nice idea, but not easy to access following just the instructions posted in the email that appeared this morning, as noted by Winston. If this option really works, it could cut down on the dread registration lines. Hope so! |

I received the email, too. I applaud the concept, but as far as the execution… …Let me see if I've got this straight. They shut down the online pre-registration system one month ahead of the event and then they open this up, which seems an awful lot like online registration, on the first day of the convention? |

Me too, I would love to give this a try, and just make use of it. Ember52, I will give your suggestion when I get out of work today. |

Your trouble might have something to do with the notice a t the very right bottom corner of the web page. " Please do not use Microsoft Internet Explorer to access HMGS online. MS IE is no longer supported" Looks like you gonna need Mozilla, Firefox, or Chrome. Wonder who had the bright idea to kick the most widely used web browser in the world to the curb? |

I used it this afternoon and for the most part it was easy enough. However, at the final check-out, I ran into a snag. I only wanted a day pass for Saturday, but my options for the single day were "Thursday" or "First time attendee". I opted for the latter thinking that if I hit the former and rolled in on Saturday, I could only imagine what kind of administrative hell would ensue.
I'm happy to pay the additional $10 USD when I get there (it's $15 USD vs. the normal $25 USD), but didn't want to kill valuable fun time. |

Oh Jesus save us all, I didn't know if I could even go until this week and this is my first trip ever. So I guess I'll have to Que up, with my military retiree card and my t.e.n.s. Unit plugged into my back and wince for a while. Joy of joys |
