Onsite Pre-Registration for Comic-Con 2012

Rules of engagement.

Excerpt from San Diego Comic-Con Unofficial Blog: http://sdccblog.com/comic-con-2012-onsite-pre-registration-info/2288/

Here's the good:

A 2011 ticket holder can buy one ticket for themselves and one for one other person.
They're spreading out all available tickets equally throughout each of the four days, so that everyone has a chance to purchase their tickets.
Single day tickets will also be on sale.
You can only go through the pre-registration process once.
Here's the bad:

You can only pre-register for 2012 on the days your 2011 ticket is valid. That means, if you only have a Saturday pass, you'll have to wait until then to pre-register.
Since they're holding back available tickets each day to ensure everyone has a chance to purchase their preferred type, there's a chance that they'll sell out of any ticket by the time it's your time to buy.
Yes, prices for 4-Day with Preview Night did go up to $175
And the just-plain-weird:

Once you've pre-registered, you haven't really pre-registered. You'll have to check your email and create a Member ID, a new requirement for 2012 which is supposed to "improve the efficiency of the online registration system". You'll have to go through the requirements emailed to you to complete the process. No complete, no pass!
And although you're allowed to buy two 4-day or 8 single day tickets, and can only buy for yourself and one other person, you can't buy two single tickets for the same day. I have no idea how this math works...
