you can buy generic tickets anytime, excepting the lines at peak times of the day during the con, there's no real reason to buy them early.
Generics are for those times when the "official" ticket to an event is sold out (or there aren't official tx) and you use them on a first-come-first-server-if-there's-any-room-left basis.
Very handy to have when you want to squeeze into an event you didn't pre-reg for or know about until the last minute. They were $1.50 per, most game events required 2 tix.
Also, they're like money, you can return them for refunds if unused.
New topic:
Where are the RPGA events? Where are the cool seminars by people like Tweet, Cook, Williams, Slav, etc?
Gencon. Woot!

Since they're free, I'd say seminars can still be added by publishers at any time, so long as there's room. I wouldn't be surprised to see a whole slew of them in the on-site catalogue that weren't online for prereg.
I pulled up all role-playing games and saved it to my desktop. :0

Aside from the various little side meetings that people seem to set up with folks they are closest to at various times during the convention, last year we all got together right after the ENnies and mingled for quite a long time, not to mention prior and during the awards ceremony. I think the ceremony is on Friday night, so be sure not to schedule any other events in that last time slot Friday if you can help it. After the mingling, some break off in smaller groups to game but most of us wind up going over to whereever the closest or largest industry party happens to be for more mingling, "sodas," and whatnot. All in all a great time and a lot of fun meeting people face to face that you seemingly know fairly well from your online relationships.

I'm emailing you my phone numbers tonight. Call me tomorrow, and we can register for one of the Cthulhu games together. I'll probably rely on your scouting for the most part -- both because you've been through all this GenCon fun before, and you seem to have a headstart in reviewing the available options

Indiana Time
An odd little aside and lesson for those not from Indiana (and in some respects Arizona).
For those not aware what Time Zone Indiana is in that is not surprising. When the rest of the country last weekend changed thier clocks we did not. Thus for all intensive purposes we are now in the Central Time Zone compared to the rest of the country and will remain so until Fall.
Indiana is officially on Eastern Standard Time all year long. (That is why microsoft gives us our own time zone setting Indiana East). This means that when the country changes to Daylight Savings Time we do not which efectively makes us Central Daylight Savings Time. What this means is we are in the Eastern Time Zone durring the Winter and the Central Time Zone durring the summer.
This is just a update for those planning on traveling here who already made plans in the winter thinking that we are on Eastern Time. No fear if you are flying though since the airlines are well aware of this and any tickets will always show the correct arrival time.

Re: Indiana Time
OK, this was just a lamely disguised bump. Sorry.
Don't forget that little corner of northwest Indiana that's in the central time zone (mainly because they're Chicago suburbs, I guess). And those counties in south west Indiana on Central Time. And the four counties in south east Indiana that do practice Daylight Savings Time. It's all clearly explained here--and shown on this mapBrown Jenkin said:
