How much Ohayocon do you want?

Admission

Thank you for your interest in Ohayocon! We’ll update this section when registration is available for Ohayocon 23. Why isn’t it ready yet?

COVID-19 Policy

When you register, you must agree to the following terms regarding SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19:

There is a location on the pre-registration service for you to indicate your agreement. Policies regarding COVID-19 will be made available on our Policies & Guidelines page. (We may not have final policies ready right at the time that pre-sales begin. The above agreement means you will accept them, whatever they are. If you feel uncomfortable purchasing badges without knowing the exact policies, we recommend waiting until we have finished deliberating with our venues and the City of Columbus. We will not offer refunds if you agree to the terms and later decide you no longer want to attend because of COVID-19 policies.)

COVID-19 test or 2nd dose deadlines

You need to meet the day of the deadline, but it doesn’t matter the exact time on the day that you get it done. If you have questions about this, please contact us.

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 two 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.

Age restriction table

Admission timetable for age-restricted events

(Read accessible policy description. The table has six columns: you may need to scroll sideways on mobile devices.)

^† Programs billed as “Night” events (e.g. “Friday night”) occur between 12–3 a.m. on the following calendar day, but are considered as being on the named day for admission purposes. For example, an event at 2 a.m. Saturday is a “Friday night” event and requires either a Friday or Weekend badge for admission.

Group discount

Groups of 10 or more are eligible for a $5-per-badge pre-order discount. This saves you double what you would pay in service fees. Simply pre-order all of your badges in the same transaction and the system will automatically apply the discount. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.

Refunds and transfers

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. You may transfer your badge to another person until the last day of pre-registration by contacting customer service.
