While I can appreciate SDCC being more aggressive in getting registration for the next year's convention out of the way quickly, I still wish that they'd give people more lead time regarding when crucial dates (especially returning/professional/open registration) would occur, instead of this quick turnaround that occurred last year too. With the price just under $300 for all five days now, it's not going to be fun to be told "You have a little over a week to have nearly $300 available." I'm not even asking for a detailed calendar well in advance, just something like a "FYI, ___ registration is next month, date TBD" notice 3-4 weeks ahead of time.
