From attendees
An event badge for the whole weekend
The convention publishes NO perks for this tier - its card shows the name and the price and nothing between them. Ask before assuming it adds anything
Adds one Super Sponsor Dinner invitation and 15 minutes of early entry to the Dealers Den
Two Super Sponsor Dinner invitations, an invitation to the Chairman's Social, and the same early Dealers Den entry
A hotel suite with adjoining rooms is included in the price, plus two dinner invitations. The price varies by suite.
The official registration page currently lists the 2026 Attendee tier at $100, not the older $85 headline rate. The VIP tier is sold out and was listed as $3,200-$4,800 depending on the suite. The Super Sponsor Dinner has a HARD PRE-REGISTRATION CUTOFF of 25 September 2026, set by the hotel's RSVP deadline rather than by the con - buy Super Sponsor, Gold or VIP after that date and the invitations that justify the tier may not be honoured. VIP is a range, 3,200 to 4,800, because the suite is bundled into the price. Day passes are only sold on-site at the registration line. A government photo ID is required and the accepted list is explicitly closed: a student ID or a pay stub is refused by law. Minors of 16 and 17 need a NOTARIZED parental consent form unless the parent attends registration in person; under 16 needs a guardian staying in the hotel all weekend, and 13 and under must be accompanied at all times.
