Online Registration Process: Attendees may purchase up to two (2) Adult badges during checkout, and up to four (4) Child or Youth badges as add-ons per order. We will require the following information for every individual badge holder:

• Date of birth

If you are purchasing badges on the behalf of another attendee, please be sure to have this information ahead of time! You will not be allowed to complete your purchase without filling out this information for every individual badge holder. Duplicated information may result in order cancellation.

Badges and add-ons selected during the order process will be held for ten (10) minutes to allow completion of registration. At the conclusion of the ten minutes, the hold will be released and the badges will become available for others to purchase.

One-day badges will be available to purchase each day at the door. One-day badges may only be purchased day-of - for example, you can not purchase a Sunday badge on Saturday.
