#con help

But my fiancé and I were recently emailed by Saboten Con saying they had an open spot and wondered if we were still interested.

So of course we said yeah and they said that their convention manager would send us an invoice for the table. But it’s been like a week or so and we haven’t received anything and the con is in like 2 weeks now??

And we haven’t been told about badges, set up time, which table, literally anything else about this. Just that we were next on the waitlist and that we got a spot.

How long should we wait before like calling them or emailing the info email instead of the vendors one that emailed us first? Or should we just wait another week or do they usually take a while?

This would be our first time selling at a con so we really don’t have anything to base it off of but I feel like it shouldn’t be taking as long as it has been with little to no actual info tbh.

I could meet richard dean anderson and TIM CURRY. At Raleigh supercon this year. Bunch of other really top of my list people are also gonna be there but i heard these twoo and i lost my shit.

Problem is its gonna cost me a lot of money and i have to be adult about this but i dont know if i could live with the regret and disappointment if i didnt give it a good go at getting to the con.

So i need to come up or raise at least 250$ for just the con tickets and the photo costs. (Cause i need hugs and photos) but then there is the cost of gas and a room on a Saturday night on a con weekend i havnt completely priced it yet still working out if im going alone or with friends. (No one has stepped forward yet soo)

So, make sure when you get to convention, you trade the print-out of your J2 photo op ticket out for an actual ticket they'll give you on site. Usually there's a table near the registration where you can do this, but if you're not sure where, just ask when you're registering! They'll write whatever number you have on your ticket for the photo op and then, yes, you'll have to wait for your number to be put on the screen (it'll be 1-100, 1-150, 1-200, and so on).

Sadly, a lot of the time spent at the con is queueing and waiting around. After you register, all you can really do is wait around until the theater opens (at 2:15 p.m, for you). The vendors room opens at 9 a.m. so I definitely recommend checking that out while you wait! Even if you don't have money to spend, it's cool to look at all of the merchandise. Otherwise, you just have to wait.

Charging your phone, going to eat, and chatting it up with someone are all good ideas. Definitely make sure to eat lunch, because there's lots of waiting and panels all at once, and you might not have the time. Everyone's super friendly, though! You're going to have so much fun!!!

Hey! No worries about the long message, I'm happy to help! Send as many questions as you want (: Also I'm super excited for you!! Cons are so much fun!

Unfortunately, I never got general admission so I'm not sure how much I can help with he registration question. The ticket that you currently have is the printed version you received via email, right? I'm pretty sure (like 90% sure) that you have to bring that in at one of the registration times and they scan it and give you a specific colored wrist band for whatever package you have. That's how it was for Silver package in the past (we got a laminate though, and you won't).

As for the breakfast panel, you can only go to that if you have Gold package. Since you only have general admission, you won't be able to attend that panel /:
