I’m not sure what to put in one of the registration fields.
When you fill out the online registration form, we ask you to fill out a number of fields to help identify you. There are important reasons why we ask each question and filling the form out correctly will help speed you through the registration process. Below are some of the questions and what we would like you to provide.
The Customer Information page is the billing contact information for the order. This is the person who will be contacted for any billing questions on the order, but they do not need to be the one receiving the membership.
After you complete the purchase, you will have the opportunity to enter in the names of the individuals the membership is being purchased for.
- Name On Product: This should be the full name of the person receiving the membership, as it appears on your government issued photo id (that you’ll need when you pick up your badge on-site). Even if you’re having your badge mailed, it’s important this field matches your ID in case you lose your badge and we need to identify you. No nicknames, cosplay names, handles, etc. here, please.
- Phone Number: If we need to reach you during the con, a good number we can contact you at. For example, if you lose your badge and someone turns it in to our Lost and Found department, we’ll try to let you know.
- E-Mail Address: An email address we can contact you in case we need to. We never sell your information to others, this is for our contact purposes.
- Date of Birth: Again, this needs to match what’s on your photo id. Please enter as YYYY-MM-DD.
- Member Address: This should be the address of the member as shown on your government issued photo id. We’ll ask this for each attendee you’re registering.
- Emergency Contact Name & Phone: We hope we don’t need to use this, but in case something happens please provide the name and phone number of someone we can contact.
- Gender: Having some demographic information about our members helps us when we work to bring you great content. If you’d rather not answer the question, that option is available.
How do I view my registration confirmation?
After you complete your online registration, you will receive an email confirmation from our third-party registration provider, Growtix. Be sure to check your junk mail/spam folders if you do not see it.
Your receipt email contains your Confirmation ID and a QR code you can print or display on your mobile device. Bringing this code to Otakon when you pick up your badge (if you did not select to have your badge mailed), along with a valid government-issued photo ID (required), can help speed things up. Having the QR code is not required to pick up your badge (the photo ID is) and is not a substitute for a valid photo ID.
If you did not recieve your confirmation email, need it resent or need to access your barcode, please log into Growtix’s My Tickets page using the email address used when the purchase was made.
