[QUOTE="billd91, post: 9410492, member: 3400"] They don’t release all of the tickets for events to VIP badge holders. Some tickets are reserved for the general pool as well. At least, that’s my understanding. But it does still mean competition can be high because there may be only 2-3 tickets out of 6 remaining after the VIPs get first crack. I’ve never done VIP and I’ve always still had plenty of good options (and gotten most of them). But you’ve got the gist of it. Put the events you want on your wish list and on the processing day at, I think, noon (central time), click the Process Wishlist button and the queue will grab what it can and put them in your cart. I don’t believe they’ll just charge the same card you used for your badge automatically. You’ll have to process your cart, which also gives you a chance to release some tickets or snatch up more before you pay.
