Brian Beholder wrote in Gencon 2016:Thanks for the info. I knew about the regular registration process (since I've been part of it). Didn't know about the VIG system -- very convenient! You can rest easy while the rest of us start the annual freak-out.

The first year they offered it, I did it and there were around 500 people or so getting in early. Now with companion badges it seems like that number is around 5000, so not really worth it for that reason alone. I am also local so don't need a hotel room.
