If you go to the main page (kumoricon.org) at the top there is a little status bar. It looks like about have of the pre-reg badges are gone, now I am not too sure about full weekend badges. Its right under "Welcom to Kumoricon 2010" in the blue box

I was planning to wait until the last minute to decide if I'm going to go this year or not. I don't know if I'll be able to swing the Star Wars Celebration V and this too. But I guess if KumoriCon runs out of tickets than I guess the decision is made for me, heh.

Oh well, no big deal. I'll just have to hit it next year.

We wash all our cans before we put them out, so I don't have that problem. I made $20 in 15 mins today from recycling cans. Just got to make sure if you have over the per limit day amount you have a couple friends willing to help you turn the cans in and collect the cash for you.

That time doesn't account for collecting them, though.

DON"T PANIC   :D

We are currently at 1638 with a pre reg cap of 3500, we are almost halfway, so yes we are running out, but slowly. I suggest registering as soon as you can, they will start going fast in the weeks to come. We have set the capacity based on hotel regulations.

Any passes sold after 3500 are at the discretion of the hotel's current capacity, it's policies and safety guidelines.
We would like as many people as we can to attend, but due to city fire code, we can not exceed the building's allowable limit per room and entire structure.

So is the cap lower than what was allowed last year?

Sooooo, just to double check, can we still go into the hotel lobby if we don't have a badge? I wasn't planning on buying a badge since all of the activities I'm attending are outside the con and last year I didn't go to any panels/gameroom/dances/dealers hall, so it seemed like a big waste of money.

Just to fuel speculation (hehe ;)) even though this post is not an official answer, it is very likely you can stay in the lobby without a badge.

Even though the hotel is reserved for the convention in terms of events, that does not mean the entire room block belongs to the convention. Unaffiliated people can still reserve rooms there.

So if you paid for a badge but don't receive it due a shortage, then I take it that people would have to purchase tickets at the door? People won't be allowed in to the event area without one or the other correct?

I'll be making more of an issue of this in my own post on the subject but in terms of hotel rooms...

We are coming down to the wire. I have a very LIMITED number of Doubles left, and then once they are gone you may only book Single King rooms... so... if you are planning on getting a con Hotel room, you better get your tooshy in gear!

Also, while the hotel is public property, without a con badge/a hotel room the hotel can ask you to leave if you loiter... so just be aware of that, not saying they will, just saying they can.

Definitely not... all sold badges are guaranteed. The cap only refers to new badges to be sold. Even if the cap is reached, if you already pre-registered, you will be let in.

It just sounded like there was a shortage from the "not to clear" initial question. So please don't gather together with pitch forks and torches and pay me an at home visit.

What do you calm down? I was never upset or ? to begin with. Anyway, I'm too busy with my own animation projects to be concerned over trival things like that. Just pointed out that the initial question was somewhat vague.

Hey guys, let's keep it on-topic. Take it to PM if necessary. (Also, I find it amusing how much the edited posts are changing from the initial versions (which people who subscribe to the thread can receive via email), which may be adding to the tension.)

Sorry, I did 1 or 2, with in 5 min of my original post, but for good reason. I needed to ensure i stated it correctly according to our policies.

Everyone, this thread started as a question about the number of badges remaining, would you please return to that, or start a new thread.

Thank You
