So just today, my mom told me that we solidified the date that we are going to Korea, and unfortunately, it lands right on the date of Fanime. Even worse was that I already bought the badge this year! So I can't go and I'm very aware that there have been people asking if it was possible but from what I saw was that there was no way for people to get refunds.
I'm still going to ask anyways but is there a way to refund my badge? Atleast transfer the ownership of it so my $55 isn't just a contribution, but also to help someone else be able to go?
That is correct. Our policy is no refunds.
I suggest that you email registration staff (registrationATfanimeDOTcom). They may or may not be able to work something out for you.
