that sucks to hear that you haven't gotten them. I was so happy when i got mine. I got my wig and badge all in the same week.

Raiphin · « **Reply #302 on:** August 02, 2008, 10:53:23 am »

I bought mine June 6th, and e-mailed registration on Wednesday or so but haven't heard back......should I start worrying yet? ^ - ^;;

SoraKitsune · « **Reply #303 on:** August 02, 2008, 11:14:07 am »

I have yet to recieve my badge either. Its makin me sad and if I have to buy it anew Im goin to throw a hissy. Mine was bought in April.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #304 on:** August 02, 2008, 01:54:20 pm »

I doubt they will make you buy a new one. All you have to do is email them with your information and I'm sure they'll get one to you. But don't take my word for this, I am not staff.

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #305 on:** August 02, 2008, 01:56:27 pm »

Yeah, what Nikkiolie said. Even under the most catastrophic of mess-ups, there usually won't be the need for someone to buy their badge twice. It just doesn't happen, but yeah, get a hold of staff to make sure you're on the up n' up, but I wouldn't worry too much.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #306 on:** August 02, 2008, 11:19:58 pm »

I did have a question and I'm not sure it I asked this before or not, but I still have the lanyard from last year so do I still need to check in? Also if I have to can I have a friend pick up the stuff I need?

Invader spleen · « **Reply #307 on:** August 03, 2008, 03:37:28 pm »

Whoops, I just noticed that the title has a typo. Lol. ^.^;

Invader spleen · « **Reply #309 on:** August 03, 2008, 03:49:50 pm »

Oh, and yeah, I'm pretty sure you need to check in cause I'm sure they have new lanyards, or atleast they should.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #310 on:** August 03, 2008, 11:53:23 pm »

damn.....do you know if a friend could pick it up for me?

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #311 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:22:46 am »

you have to show up because we have to id you and make sure you are who you say you are and what not... don't forget your id's

sorry kiddos we've been swamped over here so we are trying our best to get back to you asappy... I don't live as near to portland as i would like just yet and it makes it harder to always get the info i'd like.. i have to work a bit around other people's schedules

...

lol typo...

nikkiolie · « **Reply #312 on:** August 04, 2008, 10:38:30 am »

damn that sucks....well I asked not to work later than 3 that day so I am hoping that I can make it.

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #313 on:** August 04, 2008, 12:53:23 pm »

pre-reg goes pretty smoothly and pretty quickly when things go as they should so regardless if you get your badge friday night or saturday morning it shouldn't take too long and we try to get as many of you through as possible in a short time. Last year went really well... wait time was hardly anything for pre-reg

nikkiolie · « **Reply #314 on:** August 04, 2008, 12:55:21 pm »

is there going to be a new lanyard this year or can I use the same one from last year?

babysugarbear28 · « **Reply #315 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:15:31 pm »

I am pretty sure its a new lanyard this year but I don't know yet. Basically there is going to be a new thing this year that lets us know that you've checked in and that you're supposed to be there. It will probably be another different colored lanyard so I am gonna say no for now.

nikkiolie · « **Reply #316 on:** August 04, 2008, 01:19:25 pm »

alright thanks for the info

Rathany · « **Reply #317 on:** August 04, 2008, 07:47:46 pm »

Every year will have a different coloured lanyard. It is how we know you are checked in.

No, we cannot give out extra lanyards. Lost lanyards will be treated similarly to missing badges.

Keroleen · « **Reply #318 on:** August 05, 2008, 06:33:12 pm »

So it's Aug 5 and I still haven't gotten my family's badges yet - should I be concerned or give snail mail a couple more days?

Email reg and I will check on your badge

Please include your name, though. Many people who email me do not include thier name.

SageBell · « **Reply #320 on:** August 05, 2008, 11:35:55 pm »

i figured they emailed today.
they'll arrive later this week or beginning of next week after that then one should be concerned

Rathany · « **Reply #321 on:** August 07, 2008, 07:46:35 pm »

We have printed hundreds of attendee badges today! Next, we will work on getting them mailed out.

LtCommanderRichie · « **Reply #322 on:** August 09, 2008, 10:57:17 am »

Okay! My dad's getting a bit antsy about the badges getting mailed out. That's last month's orders, right? We ordered on the 18th of July and so far nada.

NightLotus · « **Reply #323 on:** August 09, 2008, 11:02:08 am »

I ordered mine on June 26th....

momotenshi · « **Reply #324 on:** August 09, 2008, 11:27:05 am »

well, if u think a few months wait is bad...my sister and I have been waiting for ours for 11 months. We pre-registered at last year's kumoricon and have been waiting since. Of course, I've been emailing the pre-reg. staff since may and all I get are non-definitive responses. I'm getting so frustrated to the point that I don't really care now. If it comes, it comes.

Rathany · « **Reply #325 on:** August 09, 2008, 08:05:58 pm »

Registration Update:

Due to a long day with many busy volunteers, there are about 600 badges all stuffed and sitting in their envelopes right now. Mike and I will work on the double checks tomorrow. If all goes to plan, they should start to mail out Monday. Then we get started on the 150 or so new registrations that have happened since just Thursday.

We have the same problem,my parents are kinda worried cause we don't want to show up at the con with no badges.(Even though we emailed reg about it and talked in person)But then to go through the whole mess about us buying it at kumoricon last year at the con,I'm sorry if I sound mean i'm just worried. But since Rathany said they have alot of badges i'll wait till this week is up and hopefully they'll be here. $:-\$

YAY! Thank you so much, I can't wait to get my badge!

Rathany · « **Reply #328 on:** August 10, 2008, 03:52:53 pm »

Additional update:

I have found a few messages to registration in my spam filter. Both so far were from VIPs! One of the VIPs had emailed me 9 times. Am going through all of those hundreds to make sure I have not missed anyone. Until I have sorted all of these messages, working on this will be my absolute top priority.

Rathany · « **Reply #329 on:** August 11, 2008, 01:14:55 pm »

I just put 493 badges in the mail.

No rest for us, though. We have about that many more to get out ASAP.

I'm curious, have we passed the 1st Kumoricon's total attendance in just Pre-Reg'd people yet? That'd be quite the mark of achievement, heh.

We did that months ago. The first Kcon was just 400 people or so. We have more people Pre-Regged than total attendence the last time we were at the Double Tree, in 2005.

If our Pre-Reg numbers get higher than our 2006 total attendence (2257), I will either laugh or cry.

I think we may have broken 2,000 already. Wanna help us break 2257? Get the word out that Pre-Reg closes soon!

EveofAbyss · « **Reply #343 on:** August 13, 2008, 05:33:50 pm »

Yeah, I've got quite a few laggers who I need to start hounding about registering, so I'll get on that, heh.

oslapedo · « **Reply #344 on:** August 13, 2008, 06:00:01 pm »

My little sister and her friend pre-reged today.

I'm still waiting on my badge x)

Edit: I just got my badge! Wahoo! It's so cute! I love it! <3

Also, stress heavily to everyone you know who is thinking of going that there is no guarantee that they'll be allowed in if they wait to register at the door. We'll be cramming all the souls possible into the space, but if you're not pre-reg'd it's a gamble.

REGISTER NOW! DO IT! CONFORM!

xxxchihiroxxx · « **Reply #346 on:** August 13, 2008, 08:13:42 pm »

i got my friend to pre reg

she said she will do it tonight!

lets try to brake that record >:3 !!!

I am going to pre-reg my wife's cousin on the 15th to force her to go. This will be her first con.

TomtheFanboy · « **Reply #348 on:** August 13, 2008, 08:56:40 pm »

Paying other people's reg is a great thing to do.
I recruited a few staffers that way.

oslapedo · « **Reply #349 on:** August 13, 2008, 11:22:16 pm »

I would, but unfortunately I has no money
