How will admission work?
All attendess are expected to pay admission through Ticketbud. You will recieve an email receipt with your tickets, just like a convention! On the day of the event, volunteers will scan your QR code at the door.

Can I get a refund if I can't make it to the event?
Refunds can be issued via Ticketbud. Hang onto your receipt!!
