BotCon update: No registration for Monday 5 / 10, Primus Package rules clarification

Just to keep you updated. Registration won't happen today. I'll keep sending out updates every day this this week.

However, there is one question I need to address with everyone.

Can I purchase a Primus package and convert it later to an Iacon package?


No. Because we are not allowing Iacon (non-attending packages) to be ordered until a week after the attending packages are available, there are some people who think this is a work around our system.


Anyone who orders an attending (Primus) and wants to convert it later will lose their package as we will refund their money minus a $25 cancellation fee and we will put the package back into inventory. In addition, the online service fee is non-refundable.


This will also be the policy if you no-show at BotCon.


Do not order a Primus package and try to skirt the system we have put in place. We are holding a certain number of Iacon packages (non-attending) in reserve.


In addition, to make the "first 100 fair" we are having 50 more of the pins made for the non-attending people, so this year, there will be 150 "first 100" pins.

I hope that everyone understands why we have to do this as trying to work around the system in place will only cause more problems for everyone.



Thanks for your support,


Brian
