Admission
Thank you for your interest in Ohayocon! We have several options for your visit this January, which are outlined here. A “badge” is what anime cons call a pass: you must wear it in order to gain access to the show. Please be aware we only accept cash at the door.
| Badge | Price | Pre-reg | At the door |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekend Badge | As low as $45, see details below | Yes | Yes, for $65 |
| Friday Badge | $35 | No | Yes |
| Saturday Badge | $45 | No | Yes |
| Saturday & Sunday Badge (limited quantity)* | $45 | No | Yes |
| Sunday Badge | $15 | No | Yes |
* If you show your Saturday badge to registration on Sunday, you can purchase a Sunday badge for $5.
Registration Desk hours
| Day | Hours |
|---|---|
| Thursday (Will-call only) | 7 p.m. – midnight |
| Friday | 9 a.m. – midnight |
| Saturday | 9 a.m. – midnight |
| Sunday | 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. |
Pre-registration price schedule
Pre-registration is like will call at the theatre or stadium: there is a separate, (theoretically) faster line for claiming your badge. We do not mail or email badges. We may offer will-call on the Thursday before, and we will release details about that as we approach Ohayocon weekend. The pre-reg price for the Weekend Badge is set to this schedule:
| Dates (2018-19) | Price |
|---|---|
| May 21 – Sept. 7, 2018 | $45 |
| Sept. 8 – Oct. 7, 2018 | $50 |
| Oct. 8 – Nov. 7, 2018 | $55 |
| Nov. 8, 2018 – Jan. 7, 2019 | $60 |
| Jan. 8-10, 2019 | Unavailable |
| Jan. 11-13, 2019 | $65 at the door, cash only |
Age and ID verification
Ohayocon is geared toward a 14+ audience with some late-night sprinklings of 18+ and 21+ restricted events. Attendees under 13 must be supervised by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Up to three children under 13 are admitted for free with a paid admission.
If you pre-register, the name you register to your badge must match your ID, though you can write any name (or no name at all) on the badge. This is to ensure you are the only person who can claim your badge. We will otherwise only use the name you registered to your badge while discussing your purchase with you. The policies regarding acceptable ID for verification of identity and age are available here.

Refunds and forwards
Badges are non-refundable and only good for the show they’re purchased for. We will offer a refund if the issue is our fault.

Group discount
Groups of 10 or more are eligible for a $5-per-badge pre-order discount. Simply pre-order all of your badges in the same transaction and the discount will be applied when you update the cart. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.
