I was checking out the website and there no badges for Thursday... so does that mean there will be no badge checking to enter swap meet?
Ben addressed this in an earlier post:
Quote from: ZelyhonFirst and foremost, SWAP MEET SELLERS WILL BE ABLE TO PICK UP VOUCHERS TO GET INTO THE SPECIAL REGISTRATION LINE. What this means is that if you register for Swap Meet on Thursday or Friday, on the appropriate day, you can come by Swap Meet prior to the opening of Swap Meet (plan on about 5:00 p.m. each day), you will be able to pick up a voucher to get into the "special registration" line at registration. This will be a faster line than normal registration (which should still be as fast as last year, I hope) and will help Swap Meet sellers to get their badges easily and have them prior to the start of Swap Meet. That ties directly into point number two...
YOU WILL NEED YOUR FANIMECON BADGE IN ORDER TO SELL ON THURSDAY NIGHT. Previously, we had said that you would not need to have your Fanime badge when checking in on Thursday. However, in light of the Special registration vouchers and the ability of sellers to get their badges more quickly, we have decided to revise this policy. Now, Sellers and seconds will be required to have their Fanime badges when checking in on Thursday. If this is going to present exceptional hardship for anyone, please e-mail [email protected]
So, buyers will not be required to have their badges on Thursday, but Sellers will, because we will have a system in place so they can receive "vouchers" for an expedited line. If last year is any indication, this shouldn't be necessary as registration moved exceptionally fast, but even if there are some delays in the main line, we have made arrangements so that our sellers can access the "faster" line and get their badges in time for selling on Thursday night.
As Ben mentioned, if this will present an exceptional hardship, feel free to email [email protected]
