Hi! I'm wondering if you guys know by any chance how pre-registration works Thursday? Any guesses at what time it'll be? I'm definitely taking Friday off work, but depending which time pre-registration is, i may be able to make it Thursday evening after work? You guys think it's worth it at all or it's the same to just do it Friday morning?

The Registration hours are probably going to look like this (based on the Supernatural conventions)

THURSDAY NIGHT8:30 pm to 9:15 pm Gold Weekend Patrons9:15 pm to 9:45 pm Silver Weekend Patrons9:45 pm to 10:30 pm Copper Weekend Patrons plus Gold and Silver in Jason’s meet & greet10:30 pm to 11:00 pm General Weekend plus Gold, Silver & Copper who missed earlier time.

FRIDAY MORNING9:15 am to 9:45 am Gold Weekend Patrons9:45 am to 10:00 am Silver Weekend Patrons10:00 am to 10:30 am Copper Weekend Patrons10:30 am to 6:30 pm Registration open for All

The benefits to pre-registering are:

You get your stuff right away. Wrist bands, lanyards, etc.

Some autographs or photo ops require you to trade in your PDF for a “hard” ticket so registering earlier might get you a lower number towards the beginning.

You can purchase additional photographs/autographs/meet & greets without the added charge that you pay when buying online.

You have the opportunity to “re-up” for next year at a discounted price and try for a better seat.

If you aren’t worried about any of the above things then pre-registration isn’t necessary. 

Last year in Chicago I heard from people that pre-registration took hours. I had a weekend GA pass and I just drove over right before they were closing and it took less than 2 minutes. So if you want to just stop by on Thursday night then wait till the end and it will save you a ton of time.

SICK DAY?!?!?!

Lol, I wish! I’m the boss, so I don’t get sick days. Now I’m looking at June 19th instead because there’s a talkback with the cast members...

*STRONGLY AGREES!** my biggest critique to this season, the horrid that is Rumble/EQ, they could definitely use up some of that screen time better IMO, but other than that, what you said!!!! I already know to expect very little CS after a heavy CS/CC episode, so it's not like it's a shock anymore when it happens. it's a matter of expectations too so yeah......what you said!!!! :D

Hee, yes, I’m not feeling the Golden Queen stuff, either, and I wish I could allocate that time differently. ;) But I agree that it’s a matter of expectations. I’m not saying lower them to the ground; I’m just saying keep them realistic. Any ensemble show cannot spend the majority of their screentime on one or two characters, period, and I think it’s unfair to expect Once to do so. The cast is big and all the characters have stories to be told.

(It honestly feels like sometimes the show just cannot win. If we don’t get a lot of CS, it should have given us more. If we do get a lot of CS, it’s not what people were expecting based on spoiler reports/their own headcanons and/or we should have gotten even more than that. It’s not fair.)

THIS SO MUCH! Like I get we all react different to episodes but hating on the episode just because it isn’t centered on your x or y favorite, not nice. I would love all episodes to be CS centric but it *is* an ensemble based show so we just gotta chill a bit for sure :D

Exactly. I don’t even mind hating on the episode because if you didn’t like it, you didn’t like it, but decrying the entire show as listening to haters when we just got through with an extremely CS-heavy season is a little much for me. The A-plot attention has always rotated among the characters. Always. This is nothing new. CS just happens to be sitting on the bench right now because they played a really, really heavy first half.

The show can only air 42 minutes a week and those 42 minutes have to be divided up among at least 10 major characters (Emma, Henry, Killian, Snow, Charming, Regina, Belle, Gold, Zelena, the EQ). Right now, they’re using the time they have with the characters to further develop CS’s relationships outside of each other, which I personally believe are just as important. We got an entire Captain Cobra episode, for crying out loud. I’m sorry but I think that bonding was needed.

Take a breath, peeps. It’s trying.

(This, incidentally, is why I personally drop an ensemble show if I only end up liking or caring about a couple of characters. I end up disappointed more often than not because I only care about what I care about and thus have to sit through things I at best don’t care about and at worst outright despise. All I ask out of my television is that it entertains me and when it stops doing that, I let it go.)

SO darn cute! I'm kinda (very) jealous of Emma bc she gets to wake up to THAT! lol!!! Such a sweet sweet lil bit!! :)

Thank you!! (Truth be told, I’m jealous of her, too! That would be such an awesome thing to wake up to, hee.)

I won’t be looking at my bank account until I get paid in a few days (lol) but you bet both autograph and phot op were bought simultaneously with the tickets for me! Go big or go home indeed (lol)…….even if I’ve been afraid to check my bank account since lol ��

Yay!!

I bought the individual photo ops with the tickets and I’ve been hemming and hawing over the duo. Since pretty much everyone I’ve talked to has been like, “Live a little, Danielle!”, I’m taking their advice. ;)

(Which is really abnormal for me. I’m surprised how zen I am about the fact that I’ve spent basically a month’s rent in the last week, haha. But it’ll be sooooo (ten Os) (which is a reference I’m sure no one will get) worth it come March! Also, I’m so excited to get to meet you!!)
