Items to bring for badge pickup

[sjamison1427]

I am just confirming that in order to pick up your badge you will need to bring a valid government issued ID as well as a printed copy of the confirmation email.

I keep feeling like I am forgetting something. Is there anything else I should bring with me when picking up my badge?

Thanks!

Don't forget it has to be a photo ID.

Other than that, there's nothing you need, but you should bring stuff to eat, drink, and kill time.

Cool, so my state of Massachusetts driver's license will be more than sufficient.

Additionally I have a question in regards to conduct while in line. Would it be acceptable for my sister to hold my place in line if I were to need to use the men's room? Would I simply notify a staff member of the situation?

You'll be fine. Just tell the person behind you that you're gonna use the restroom and your sister is going to watch your place for a few minutes. Worse case scenario..If you're next in line and need to use the restroom I think you should tell the staff member if anything. :)

Sorry- this year, we are absolutely requiring your e-postcard printed out and with you, along with your photo ID.

Again, please bring:
-E-Postcard, e-mailed to you in early May - it will have pick-up instructions and a code on it for check-in
-Valid Photo ID

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  :P

I'm glad to hear it. But what happens if someone doesn't have it? Do they get told to come back tomorrow?

They can use their smart phones with the code pulled up, or ask the nearby hotels if they can use their business center + printer.

I recently moved to California but don't have a CA State I.D. yet, just my Delaware I.D. On my Pre-reg info, though, I put my California address. Will that cause any issues for badge pick up or should I bring my passport, instead?

[Admiral Donuts]

I'm not staff but in previous years I just used my (Canadian) passport and that had a different address than I used to register. I think they're only concerned that the name matches the photo.

Yes. As long as the name of the membership matches your valid ID and you have the confirmation e-mail we will send you in May, then that will be enough.

If there are problems with your membership during the time of pick-up, I would advise to bring something that also displays your name and your current California address like a utility bill.

Around what time in May should I expect this e-mail? Sometimes e-mails get buried in my spam box.

Check everyday. Both inbox and spam inbox.

Someone will probably post on the forums once they go out.

I don't have an exact time frame. I would say in two weeks. We'll be giving out announcements once we do send them out.

Fantastic, thank you for answering that. One additional question I had was what if someone didn't receive that e-mail for whatever reason? Is there a number for Registration that we can call in regards to any issues that pop up?

By then, there will be no number to call. At that time, you can get it resent via our new website using the "resend confirmation e-mail" link. It may take some time to get put up, however!

Thanks.
