Question 1

What happens if I arrive after registration has closed for the night? Can I still get in?

Accepted Answer

If you happen to arrive after registration has closed on Friday or Saturday, you can come to our Con Operations to purchase a temporary badge. You will be asked to fill out a form, read over the Code of Conduct, and pay $20.00 for a night badge. Even if you are pre-registered, you will be asked to pay this amount. The next day, when registration is open, you may bring your night badge back to registration and either collect the twenty dollars if you have pre-registered or use the twenty dollars as a credit to purchase a full badge. Please don't lose the badge as credit or refund will not be given if it is lost. Also, no refund or credit will be given for the purchase of a daily badge.

Question 2

What happens if I lose my badge?

Accepted Answer

If you lose your badge, you may request a reprint of your badge for a fee of $20. If you happen to find your original badge within 24 hours of requesting the reprint, you may return the reprinted badge to receive your $20 back.
