Howdy all, I have a quetion regarding platinum and gold badges for next year. In particular with the platinum, is the general public such as myself realistically able to get the opportunity to purchase one of these? It it simply a matter of being quick on the draw when badge registratin opens up? If so, roughly how many are there and do they go that quickly? I have similar questions regarding gold. Basically, what do I need to do if I want to snag a platinum (first choice) or a gold for next year? Not having really planned ahead of time this year, when I logged on to grab my silver it was pretty much the only option so I don't know what the general expectations are. Thanks!
The current platinum badge holders get first dibs on platinum badges for next year before the remaining are available online. IIRC several were listed online. All gold badges become available online and sell through quickly. You have to keep an eye out on the TTE site and also suggest signing up for the newsletter since there is an email sent out when gold badges will be available.
Thank you, I appreciate the response. So it's basically a combo of hope some platinum release and then be quick on the trigger for both the platinum and gold. Good to know!
GaryCon VIII had 10 Platinum badges. GaryCon X had 21 Platinum badges. GaryCon XI had 25 Platinum badges.
Well that certainly lends some perspective! I had no idea that there were so few. It is nice to see they've been adding a few each time. Thanks for digging up this info!
We don't intend on adding anymore Gold, Platinum or Diamonds next year. Maybe a few more Electrum to show that Jon guy what's what!
NO They will go to S.L.A.M. (The Society to Limit Access to Malort) They work to help V.O.M.I.T. (Victims Of Malort Induced Trauma)
