I splurged this year on the Platinum badge, in part because I'm always slow to get on the site to register. How does the priority piece work? Do I send an email to ?? before registration starts? or get access to the registration page a day early?
Traxion, I think the special badge folks will have a period of time when only they can register for events. That is just speculation on my part.
From Facebook today: Get Ready to Game! Event Pre-Registration begins Saturday, January 23rd at 12pm EST. View the event catalog at garycon.com/games and find your favorites! *Diamond and Platinum badge holders will be contacted directly for early access pre-registration details.*
They are offerring a platinum badge tomorrow at 12pm eastern and then both a diamond and platinum badge Friday at 12pm. So I would guess no earlier than Friday afternoon. May also depend on how they plan to deconflict 19 guaranteed seats if an event overbooks.
