I don't know if I should register as soon as it opens online or wait until I know I can go for sure or not. I'm new here so be gentle with me ^_^ I live in Salem Oregon, a fair distance away, so I'm wondering if I can afford to go to Fanime or not in 2009 considering the train ticket there and back, the con, and hotel there. Plus I wouldn't be allowed to go by myself to California, so my sister would have to be able to afford it as well. How high does the registration fee usually get the latest you're allowed to register? Our convention in Oregon is small and the highest it gets is up to $40 so I'm not sure how high other cons go.

The reg price here typically starts off somewhere in the mid-30s-40s, then it goes up gradually over the months until it hits $55, which is usually the full weekend price for both early and at-con registration. The registration department will usually set a deadline for online registration sometime in May and afterwards, you would have to register on site. There's no deadline for at-con registration(not that I know of) as long as you do it within the hours on-site registration is open.

I'd say it depends on what you value more. Would you rather get a cheap non-refundable badge knowing you may or may not be able to go? Or get a badge that costs a bit more, but you know for sure that you can go? As an FYI, registration is cheapest during the summer(or if anyone regged for 2009 at Fanime 2008). You're better off e-mailing registration-at-fanime.com for specifics since a lot of this is based off of what I know and there's always the chance something might change for 2009.

Well, considering that I bought it this early, I usually absorb the cost also quite early. By the time I know I can't come, the loss of money is a very small issue - rather, is not being able to come that is a bigger deal.

And, yes, I have already registered for 2009.

Darn, I guess registering at the con doesn't give you a lower number...you just keep your old number :[
