this is what i found very important:

Pre-reg is only for those who went this past summer. Only a limited number of badges will be sold here.
Open-reg is for everyone in the spring.

like @will519 said pre-reg is for previous years attendees and open-reg is for new attendees.
You are going to want to monitor the CCI website for when you can create a member ID. Once done you will want to make sure you get updates for when regular sale is. Then you will have to be prepared on the day of the sale and even then you still need luck.
Tickets typically sell out in 90 minutes so there is no real opportunity to say "I'll log in later in the day" there is no later in the day. You need to be on your game and even then if they use the random waiting room it is still a gamble on where you end up.
Tickets are also only half the battle once you get the tickets then be prepared to do it again for the hotel lottery day as well if you want to stay at a hotel at the convention rate. It's not impossible but you need to be prepared

i live in pasadena (1 hour away from SD) so i have a lot of friends out in SD area, so thank god hotels wont be an issue for me, guess we just got to really get those tickets though. So sometime in the spring ? ill be taking some time off work lol. Ive already made an account for myself and my girlfriend, so we should be set right ? all we have to do is get tickets...
Thanks for all the info @mllNY @will519

overall yes. you may then be interested int he parking sale, they sell parking for the convention center if you decide to drive.
Just make sure to log in to cci with your member id, it will say if you are set up, and make sure to opt in to emails. You can check here and elsewhere to monitor when the sale is by why leave it to chance. better to get the emails and they don't usually spam your inbox anyway
unfortunately there is no real way to describe the con itself other than be prepared to wait in lines and have patience. Always have a backup plan unless you like wandering the hall floor.
And keep hydrated and have good sneakers beyond anything
here is a good checklist, though might be a bit too much imo

to my west coast people get a good nights rest for tomorrow, for my east coast people be ready at 10-11:50 est (7-9 pst) to get into the room and be ready by noon est (9 pst) for the sale!
same here thanks to my roomie @poncholo I will be going to SDCC with a 4 Day pass. Hoping to score a PN during reg sale.
We were truly lucky. Nearly all badges sold out by the time i checked out so I'm glad they hold inventory for those who get in, even if it's just for a few minutes
I imagine there will be more badges available during open registration compared to last year since they sold out much quicker this year...just hoping anyway 
I may have a go at getting tickets this year been to SD before not for CC, liked it and certainly had a good time.
am planning to go to American next year for 3 months so hopefully I can include this.

congrats to everyone who got badges already ! can any of you savvy vets provide more detail to funko day ? how does that work ? and how much were the badges for 4 days ?
I think funko day is a separate event, if anything like anything else it probably sells out quickly. I think they just show off their stuff but likely you also get some cool exclusives. I'm sorry I don't really collect funko to give a more detailed answer. I will say the Funko booth is a ClusterF during the show, be prepared to be turned away to getting in multiple times.
PN (need all 4 other days) - $35
Thurs, Fri, Sat - $50 each
Sun - $35
