Help with registration 2 passes!!

japonaliya · March 09, 2008, 07:18:51 PM

I am trying to pre-reg but need 2 passes. How can I do this???????????
The reg proccess seems to only allow one pass..I need to get one for a friend!

You can't do group registration this year, and that includes buying two passes.
You can buy one for yourself with your information, then buy another one separately with THEIR information. You can't put in your information for both of them, it needs to be their personal information.

(So basically, charge your debit card twice, and go through the registration process twice.)

Hmm...I can understand no group passes because of discounts, but the fact I can't buy 2 passes at the same time is a load of crap (hear me Fanimecon!!)

What if I just wanted to buy an extra pass/badge but wasn't sure if that person could come, and i wanted to give it to another friend??

If you have to have ID that matched the reg. you couldn't do it.
What if I wanted to surprise my girlfriend with a pass...this is horse shit...

Right... If you wanted to give it to another friend, then before Fanime (hopefully) you can just change the information on the pass by either changing by logging into the account, or e-mailing registration at fanime dot com to change the information.

Oh...BTW if the person who I bought the pass for (inc myself) couldn't make it, it seems that the passes, unlike tickets, are non-transferable......

This is such an unprofessional way to run a convention!!

If you cannot attend you can e-mail registration@fanime with your account info to have it changed.

Again..bullshit...

Can't it be done like a reg. ticket..you know, if I have an extra ticket, or can't go, I have the option to sell it (craigslist etc.) or just give it to someone.
To have to e-mail with new personal info is a crock!!
When I buy tickets online, they send them to the address on my CC and then I have the ticket in hand.
It seems that Fanime won't take the trouble to mail the tickets, or the ability to print online, but makes you have to go to the con, wait on a line for fucken hrs. to get your badge which you already paid half a C note for!!!

What do you get for early reg.... 5 freaken bucks off??

If I bought my badge in March, I shouldn't have to stress out about having to wait on a line for hrs...

and. then poss. wait on ANOTHER line for more hrs. to see An Cafe!!!

If An Cafe had any other NoCal venue I wouldn't go through all this crap...even if the ticket cost me $200. ea.!!

If you pre-registered or early-registered, I doubt you would have to wait in line for long. In an extreme case you would have to wait for an hour. The reason why we do not mail out badges is because of cost, logistics, and man power.

We do not do tickets is because this is a convention with a lot of different events spanning four days and not just one concert.

I realize the savings for early reg might not be much. Since pre-registration is up until March 31st, I suggest you pre-register and save yourself a few more bucks.

Me and my daughter plan to go. She's only 14 and only has a school I.D. How will she be able to get a pass?
