  • Details on Picking up Fan Festival Attendee Badges
    In preparation for the show, we'd like to share some information on how the badge pickup process will work at the Fan Festival 2016 in Las Vegas!


     

    Registration Lines

    We've worked closely with the venue to ensure we can facilitate a large number of attendees lining up at one time, but there may be instances where we exceed the number of attendees that can line up in the area. While rare, if it happens, our staff may direct attendees to return at a later time. We'll be doing registration all day on Thursday (and will resume early Friday) so there is plenty of time to get checked-in before the show starts.

     

    What You'll Need

    ・Your ticket QR code (either printed or on a mobile device)

    ・An ID card to verify your identity

     

    All tickets are handled via this system and must be picked up using the following methods at the event.

     

    Single Ticket Pick-up

    If you're picking up a single ticket on an order that has no other tickets, you simply need to show your ID and QR code to the Registration Desk staff and you'll receive your attendee badge, goody bag and in-game item code sheet!

     

    Multiple Tickets on an Order

    If your ticket is part of an order that contains multiple tickets, each with different attendee names, then all of those tickets exist under a single QR code. Should the original purchaser choose to share the confirmation QR code with the other ticket holders then anyone on that order can opt to collect all of the tickets on that order.

     

    For example, you may decide to designate someone to collect all the tickets on that order and pass them out amongst the group. Or you can choose to just pick up your own ticket on the multi-ticket order. Once a ticket has been checked-in, it can no longer be checked-in later, so be sure to discuss the plan with your group ahead of time!

     

    You must have a QR code to check in, as you cannot simply show ID to receive a badge. Names are checked against orders and the QR code is required to pick them up.

     

    Changes to Ticket Details

    It will no longer be possible to make any changes to ticket details (names for example) after Friday, September 30, 2016 at 3:00 p.m. (PT).

     

     

    Please note:

    ・Character names or real names will not be printed on the badge itself.

    ・In-game item code sheets will be handed over along with the attendee badge and goody bag. They cannot be replaced if lost, so be sure to keep them in a safe place!


    If you have any questions, feel free to post them in the Fan Festival in Las Vegas forum!

  • The Primals and Susan Calloway Summoned to Fan Festival 2016 in Las Vegas!
