I just read the newsletter and I found out that they are only going to have 3500 total weekend passes (including both reg and pre-reg) and after that they will have 500-1000 day passes so it will be a good idea to pre-reg as soon as possible. In the newsletter it also said that they got close to the 3500 pre-registration in 2009. So just some fair advice to everyone else, register asap to make sure you have a weekend pass.

Thanks for the news there.
Hey look it's a shot I took of Beau- Awesome.

I don't think I'll pre-reg any earlier then I usually do.
If I can't go, oh well, theres always Mew and Sakuraaa~
(I love Kumoricon, it's just a bad location. ;3;)
-
I'll be doing the same as Shay. If I don't get in, well then I guess I'll just be coming and chilling out for meetups outside. I'm already considering doing that as to not waste money.

This!
I'll be going to my first Sakuracon this year, so I won't be completely torn up if I don't make it to K-con. Plus school will be starting around that time anyways, so I might just not be able to go. XD Hence Sakuracon.
-
I'm going to Sakuracon this year instead also, not as cramped.
Have fun at SardineCon '10 KCon peeps o3o
-
I don't think they are close....I think they ALMOST reached it last year after pre-reg was done.
-
If you are doing it soon I wouldn't worry. I would if you waited till August to do it >_>
-
I believe the number is around 350 pre regs. Dont quote me, I'm not the official word. I'm pretty sure that was the number stated today though....
-
The whole point of the registration cap is to REDUCE crowding... so if thats what you
are worried about, we are basically taking the convention down about 1,000 people...
which should alleviate a good deal of congestion for those able to register.
I totally recomend everyone still come and have a good time, even if just for sunday or
something! We want to see all your smiling faces!

that's a good idea. it's a shame that we'll be losing some people, but it'll be such a relief to have less people over all.
can't wait for next year! I'm gonna try and attend more panels this time around.
-
Sakura festival is a good time to pre-register btw
k-con will be there right?
-
thanks for the heads up! i think i'll wait till may or june though untill i prereg that way i'll know where i am location and money wise
-
Tempted to do Sakuracon but that all depends on how things go financially and life-wise.
Kumoricon I'm definitely participating in and I'll try to pre-register as soon as possible.
I don't think they're going to reach the limit THIS soon. Come July or so, I'd start to get worried.
-
I personally think it is a good idea. Seeing how there were too many people last year for the hotel I really like that they are going to have a lower cap.
-
Wow, this may really help the whole overcrowding dilemma that went on last year.
Thanks for the heads up.
-
if worried about the cost come to the dark side! become staff!!! WE HAVE COOKIES!!
-
Meh. Like everything else, I'll get to it when I get to it.
-
I'll probably register around the same time I usually do, maybe a little sooner, depending on how I feel at the moment. :P
If I make it to KumoriCon than great, if I don't, oh well no biggie. I'll be hitting the Star Wars Celebration V this year anyway, which is only a month or two before KumoriCon, so I may not have the money to hit KCon anyway. And at this point, SWC5 is much more important to me than KCon... SWC happens once every four years, KCon happens every year.
So I'll just see what happens, I guess. :)
-
There was a K-con pre-reg booth at Sakuracon last year so I imagine there will be one this year too. I might just do it there...was going to do it before the new year but kept forgetting >.<
-
I DID!
-
WOOT! Finally got around to pre-reging. Negima is coming back!
-
yay negi-chan is back!!! bout time!
-
I will in a bit..maybe a month...
-
its offical! im going o.o oredered my room and pass!
-
Hey there all!
So just a few things... we're currently sitting around 500 registrations. I'd get y'all the exact number, but I'm out of state currently and not at the reg office ><
We will be at Sakuracon accepting registrations on site, so if you can't register online, this is a great way to go.
We will be putting up a bit more information very soon on the registration page (it's on the agenda for the next bi-weekly reg party (double parenthesis are awesome... and yes, it is a party! We do regy things, but we have music, fun, and sometimes table top games ^^)) this includes a "progress bar" that will keep the registration total posted, current to the count at the end of each reg party.
I'll keep a better eye on this thread so I can answer any questions that pop up.

Glad to hear it!
Always nice to see someone heading in the right direction ^.^

I dunno. I have mixed feelings about capping. I think it limits us a lot more than usual. I mean, I understand that with the hilton, that's just what has to happen. But really, I hate having to tell people that they might cap this year. Possible first timers get turned away later on because they're not even sure if they should come if that's the case.
-
Its the hard position we are in right now. We have no fiscal way of expanding to the
unlimited, or overly unsaturated level without bankrupting the convention and putting
it in jeopardy of not happening again. (Even at that, I don't even know if it's possible
to do then.) It's either too much or not enough. And I look at it as a quality over
quantity issue now.
We can't do a GIANT convention to appease the maximum number of people who want
to go. What we CAN do is provide the most people who can attend with the best experience.
At least, thats what I want to try and do.

We have actually capped in a couple of different years. We will open up each day to as many day badges as possible. I hope that people who don't make it on Sat or Sun, do drop by on Monday. Monday tends to have less people and be cheaper than other days. Even though it's not a full day, it still has big events like Cosplay Chess, Charity Auction and Closing Ceremonies.
-
Are we anywhere close to the capped amount of people? G/F & I still haven't done our pre-reg yet....will probably do it at Sakuracon if there is a booth there again.
-
i know this isnt the place to ask but... when are the next set of badges gona be mailed out?
-
I got my badge today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-

We sent some out on Sunday, but some may have to be re-done. Sit tight, and I'll be getting them out as soon as I can :)
-
Got my Pre-Reg done at SakuraCon. Having it mailed this year so I don't have to wait in another 2 hour Pre-Reg line while watching people register on a whim and get through in 15-20 mins.
-
I had it mailed the past two years and still had to wait a few hours in line the first time, the second I went on pre-reg Friday and it didn't take very long.
-
I know the booth was at Sakura-con...but for the life of me I didn't see it even after wandering through the vendors hall 100 times lol. So it looks like I am just gonna reg online this weekend.
-
I am sorry you missed us! We were right across from Anime Evolution!
-
I'm going to pre reg sometimes around my birthday (April 25) :P
-

BAH! I was standing literally right in front of you then for the raffle...*head desk*
-
HEY ALLY good to hear from you. Cyprus AKA Chris. Thanks again for having me when you went to the Wing Dome it was awesome. Now I'm just waiting for my VIP pass. I already bought it but they messed up on the names.
-
It's usally twards the end of spring that my mom gets our tickets. So i'm still waiting ^^;
-
I've pre reg at SC every year but this year I totally spaced out on that....... :o
-
Dang. I really need to pre-register soon. x__X;
-
Would you happen to know how close you guys are to the cap-off limit for pre-reg's. And how many VIP badges do you have left. I havn't registered yet.
-
I haven't pre-reg'd yet, I hope to at the end of April
-
I really don't like the capping idea, mainyl because it means quite a lot of good cosplayers wont be able to make it and it puts a strain on people to pre register quickly when they still need to get the cash..But I understand it has to be done for the attendees and staffs sake.
I'm taking 6 people with me so I have to make sure we all get pre registered soon....Looks like I'll have to find a 2nd job. -w-; But it'll be worth it.
-
Doe and I are pre-reging at the end of the month
-
Well, i prereg'ed and got my badge a couple days ago. By looking at the number, if thats an indicator of how many badges there have been made, then mine is a hundred or so shy of 1,000. Glad to have my badge, though. ^^
-
doe ordered vour badges today so we've got some waiting to do
-
Yay, I got my badge just last week! I imagine that they are in the 1000's by now.
-
registered last week. can't wait to get my badge!!!
