Fanime 2010 website is up! Registration is up as well! It's $45 right now until 11/6. PayPal only for now.

I'm also wondering on this as I wanted a lower number also ;D. Their is an item number when you make your payment on paypal (not sure at all if thats the reg number), but mines say Item #23. If yours is different, chances are that is the reg number.

Well, mine and sweetie's said 164 and 166 (someone must have gotten 165 between us XD), so you may not be entirely wrong there.

*think* Probably would have been sooner if I wasn't out of town all day...

Haha. I see! Just remember you have to account for the people who pre-registered for 2010 at the end of 2009's con.

Why pay pal only and until November 6th? That's cheating the rest of us out who do not have a paypal, nor want one. Am I not going to be able to pay the $45.00 price because of this? That's highly unfair.

You can pay with credit card without a paypal account. Their a credit card option on the left side of the page, where it ask you to login to your paypal account.

I had 63 last year... Definitely going to be higher this year.  I caught it the first day prereg last year.  Two days makes all the difference.  *shrugs*  I got the 1337 badge the last year group reg was allowed.  Numbers are fun, but the badge itself is what really counts.  :3

Looking at the Registration page, it took me a while to find the "Click here to register now!" link. I think it would be best to have a HUGE Registration link at the TOP of the page so people don't have to go looking for it.


PS Site looks awesome!!

How long do we have to pre-reg for that shiny pretty badge? Don't know how to call it... XD

The one that was laminated and all, rather than being a paper slipped into a badge holder.

A little financially unhealthy atm, so I'd like to take care of my wallet before deciding to pay for it. owo''

Here's something a little nifty we did with the group registrations:
You can register any number of people you want and pay for it (1 person, 20 people, or how ever many you want to pay for). If someone at a later date decides to go to Fanime with you, they can join your group! So you'd simply add them to your account and then pay for them. Just remember that whenever you go pay, it will be the price that is in effect. So if you paid for yourself at $45 and wanted to add someone else later say when the badges are $60 then the cost of that badge will be $60. Obviously you can only add people to your group until we end group reg.

You get the current price at the time you PAY, not when you submit registration. If you submit payment after the price goes up, you pay the higher price.

This changes, but usually pre-reg is available until the end of March.

Probably another increase of $5, so total $50.

First, I still have my yellow copy of my receipt.  Will that guarantee a lamenated badge with name and fan name?

Also, I have a friend who wants to register early, but does not have a credit card.  I am willing to pay on her behalf, but will I have to register myself as a group leader even though I already paid for mine?

Yes.

Registration is currently accepting Paypal only. I do believe you can pay for her registration if she register all of her information because when she goes to pick up her badge, they will look at her government-issued ID to see a match on the info that it was given.

Hopefully, this helps or wait for the registration staff for official word on it.

I sincerely wish that you had been more clear in your directions on the front page for pricing and schedule.  It has just caused me a huge pain for my group's budget.  Also, one week is a really short time for organizing payment.  I hope the directions will be more clear, or the payment window be a bit larger, next year.

Lol it was only a pricechange of $45 to $50.  And if a difference of $5 really concerned you or your group members enough than you guys should have worked harder on planning and organizing.  There is no need to blame Fanime or its staff for your personal issues.  Frankly I was able to get most all of my people pre-reg'd on time and with no issues, hell some of us even reg'd at the end of the last con.

I think the staff and members have done quite a good job in answering questions people have and solving issues dealing with pre-reg.

Post by: AriSky on November 06, 2009, 06:49:51 PM
When you say $45 until 11/6, most people will assume that means the price is still valid on the 6th.  Changing it to $50 today is a cheap tactic to make attendees pay more than they intended to.  I respectfully request that the price is reduced for a period of time to allow those confused by your wording to partake of the $45 price they should have had.

You should be able to mail in a check or money order.
Cash is not recommended since the postal service has grubby hands.

IIRC though, the payment has to be postmarked by the day the price goes up. Since the PO is not open on Sundays, the earliest you could send payment would be Monday and that means you'd pay the $50 price.

Sorry, I'm somewhat paranoid and I prefer to be able to confirm online that I am registered, despite having my receipt I still worry that somehow a whole bunch of us will fall through the cracks and vanish from the database.

Sorry for pestering.

My step dad is using his credit card to pay for me and a friend and I'm unsure about the pick up and age rule ^-^" sorry if my question is such a noob.

The requirement for a group leader is that they must have a valid government issued picture ID, i.e. NOT a student ID.

So that means I just need a government issued ID, it doesn't matter what my age is? Cuz I read through a thread and it said that an adult also has to purchase a ticket so I can get mine through pre-reg since I'm under 18. :/

Also another question ^-^ just out of curiosity, I'm 16 but my parents aren't attending the convention :D if lets say I don't pre-reg and I'm buying my ticket at the convention do i need an adult with me to purchase it? or can I just show them my ID and that's it?

you will need a gov't issued ID such as a drivers license or a CA ID. A school ID will NOT be accepted.

If you have additional Qs e-mail registrationATfanimeDOTcom.
