Title: Are you allowed to wander the con without a badge?
Post by: michimichu on March 28, 2009, 06:36:18 PM
I'm underage, thus, causing one of my parents to follow me around at Fanime. I was wondering if you were able to wander Fanime without a badge; does this break any rules or will you be thrown out etc? I was planning on buying a weekend badge there, but since America is pretty much in a recession, my father might not be able to attend Fanime with me, meaning I probably can't go. (You know, no adult supervision ;D) I'm pretty sure I saw a topic about this somewhere but I couldn't find it;; I remember it said that there are certain rooms that no badge!people can't enter but... yeah. Just would like to make this sure!

Thank you !

I think you can
you won't be able to go to the dealers hall, artists' alley, screening rooms, or game room without a badge though but i think you can walk around the premises

First off, you should be able to get a Badge for Fanime without parental supervision. So unless it's your father not wanting you to go without supervision, and presuming your age is 13 and above, you should be able to get a badge.

As for the rest;
Short Answer, yes, you can.
Long Answer, you can wander around Fanime, but many rooms require a badge to enter. So if you do not get a badge, you are limited to the lobby area outside rooms.

I approve the above message:)

basically almost all our programming is badged. Things like stage zero are not. So your dad can be around and maybe even not be bored, but if u want money from him for somethign int he dealers hall, u've gotta go out to get him as hes not allowed into the room.
