HELP PaizoCon badges transfer

[Mrsjonesy917]

My husband and I, along with our friend, will be attending PaizoCon from Indianapolis this year. I bought 3 badges on my account and didn't realize we had to transfer a badge to each person in order to sign up for games. So last week I contacted customer service and was told how to do so.

I managed to transfer one badge, but the other badge will not transfer. When I click on the transfer button it keeps coming up with the same person the first badge was transferred to.

Repreated attempts at emailing customer service have been ignored. We've now missed any lottery chance signups since it's now closed and we are afraid we are being ignored (probably due to being busy, but this is timely) and will miss out on the other games we'd like to be a part of. Coming from Indy isn't cheap, and we've been looking forward to this since November.

Any help? Don't know who else to turn to.

Keep repeating the transfer attempt. I had to try it 7 times in a row before it worked.

Also, try not to despair. You will find plenty of pickup games (I've run into similar frustrations every year for the past 4 and have still always found games and had a great time).

Others have mentioned that bug. You might try clearing your browser cache, or using a different browser for the second transfer. Worst case scenario, you could transfer the second ticket to the same person, and they could transfer it to the third person.

And if you’re really stuck, call customer service. They’ve always been responsive when I’ve called with something urgent.

Well, finally worked.

However, we are trying to sign up and all the games are full.

Do they sit late-comers who don't have "tickets" like they do at GenCon?

I'm not interested in travelling all that way and spending all this money to play pickup games, you know?

You'll definitely be able to get into games.

But I still see a lot of PFS games available. Filter to Recommended (the lottery games will all be full) and Pathfinder (or Starfinder). You'll find a number of PFS and SFS events with open slots.

I actually wouldn't filter out the lottery games: there are some pretty great ones with spaces available still!
