Thanks for the spelling police.
1. If you mail out the badge ahead if time low lifes can make photo copies.
2. Cost simple math here.
Example: stamps @.40 cents each. Add 10,000 attendes.
.40*10,000= $4,000
Now factor the cost of the envolpes, the badges, and the staff help to stuff them in. Can you stuff 10,000 badges into envolpes by youself?

3. I should have explain a bit more with that scam. Say we did mail out tickets. Some low life can say "I lost my ticket, send me another" when in fact they never lost it they just wanted a free extra ticket. They could esaily say "it got lost in the mail"
Also the school id scam was a problem a few years ago. People would make fake school ids with the same name on the badge. So there was like 5+ people using one badge.

And yes I do agree with 3 comps for 1000 people. There needs to be more staff at registration

I hope that makes it easier to understand, also I made a few spelling mistkes. Please highlight the incorrect words to win a prize.

1. How? You would put the badges in packaging, do you mean someone scanning or taking a picture of the badge? I see how that would work

2. I never said you had to do it by yourself, that's what staff should be doing :I instead of whatever else they do, I am sure if you get plenty of staff members it could work out

3. You are forgetting something, this isn't school, staff doesn't scan your badge when you walk in they look at them and say "your good, on in." and wouldn't it be good for that "low life" to have an extra badge just in case he lost his/hers?

You misspelled "envelopes", "yourself", "easily" and "mistakes." Please give me all of your money

Hotel Name: Marriott

Would You Book Next Year: Yes, if I can reserve on time that is, if I can't then Fairmont, Four Points, or Hilton

Pros: Connected to the convention center, Best hotel next to Fairmont in my opinion, Staff is super friendly and enthusiastic about conventions, great rooms, Easy check in/Check out

Cons: Elevators, Hotel sells out the fastest, no free parking, no free internet

Special Notes to Share: I have always had a great experience at this hotel and met a lot of friends attending who were staying in it, they have pulled through for me since 2010 and I hope they will for years to come

Now that it's been brought up, has Fanime considered mailing out badges?

What about streamlining Registration lines?
That question has been asked at every con for the last 5+ years. Its the same answers why sporting events and music concerts stoped doing it.
1. Counterfit
2. Postage cost.
3. Scams. (I lost my ticket, can I have another one?)

Which kind of leads me to the next question. There should be clearly marked lines for pre-reg.(will call) and at con registration.


1. How exactly would this happen? Making fake badges? They don't ever show you what the badges look like until you get them, Money? Wouldn't it be done the same way as Pre-reg?
2. Why would you charge shipping for badges? I mean you already paying enough as is
3. Yeah have you been to Fanime? Whatever you put your name down will act as an ID for your own badge

Also wow way to miss my point of I am saying, I am not talking about the marked lines for reg/pre-reg, I am talking about having more than 3 computers for 1,000 people in line as well as having multiple lines for registration with someone organizing them

You also misspelled "stopping" and "counterfeit"
