Since I'm staff, I won't be getting mine until Day 0 of the con. The lowest number I've ever gotten was #003. That was kind of funny, because I recommended #026, and superjaz wanted #003. I got it instead, and I think she got what I wanted. (I think this was in '08, but I don't remember for sure).

I got mine about two days ago! :3 Mine is number 749.
I think we ordered the day right before the price went up to $40.

Ps. I think you need to change the topic name of this to "Badges and have you got yours?" XD It says "Bandges" which makes me read it as "Bandages"

Taikei · « **Reply #12 on:** May 05, 2011, 05:54:46 pm »

Also...yeah I haven't received my badge yet, and I won mine as Cowboy!America before registration was even open I believe. OTL I messaged the K-con staff about it and they said that it should be sent out next mailing period. Like a week ago I sent them a message asking when the next mail-out will be but no one has gotten back to me yet.

FFF just ranting..sorry.

Chibachi Nero · « **Reply #13 on:** May 07, 2011, 12:23:28 pm »

Got mine a while ago. I'm #103. I registered at 11 at night the day before the price went up for the first time.

I had no idea they'd come so early (first time pre-regging) so when it came I was all EEEP! BADGE~ :DDD There may have been dancing involved. *shifty eyes*

Me and my fiancé have not gotten ours yet. Who is the person we contact to ask about the status?

AllyKat · « **Reply #19 on:** May 18, 2011, 09:35:01 pm »

The e-mail to contact is registration@kumoricon.org

please note that badge mail outs typically happen on weekends, once a month as far as I've noticed, and are quality checked, so if there is an error, sometimes they have to come back another day and fix a computer/human glitch! With the unprecedented number of early badges we are receiving this year, expect our wee reg team to be working round the clock to get them out to you ASAP. I know it absolutely sucks to wait to get that sweet sweet badge... the symbol of your Kumoricon Adventure (Yes, I once said that to my friend with full dramatic pose, and she agreed I am way too cheesy for my own good) and that physical proof that you really are going. But trust in our little reg monkey's and be patient with them, they are people too... well... kinda.

Just kidding, I love the reg team, but they are seriously on another level with how hard they work. But if you have questions or concerns e-mail Brandon or Brian and I am sure they will get back to you lickety split.

Saki-the-cat · « **Reply #37 on:** June 21, 2011, 05:55:05 pm »

Also, i have a question about the badge i got. I remember in 2009 when i pre-registered (I didn't do that in 2010), i got a yellow badge with a chibi version of the mascot on the front (Because i'm under 18). This year though, i got a blue badge with a full-size version of the mascot on the front.
Have they stopped useing different colors for the teens badges, have they switched the colors around, or was this a mistake?

EmAino · « **Reply #38 on:** June 21, 2011, 06:00:13 pm »

Got my badge and my friend's badge today after ordering them last week. Contacted registration though as friend's badge came in a different color than mine (mine was blue) and we're the same age. LOL.

Jacob_Blackfeather · « **Reply #39 on:** June 21, 2011, 06:01:15 pm »

Tanuki19 · « **Reply #41 on:** June 21, 2011, 06:31:28 pm »

yay, i got my badge today! I'm number 1022. it will be my first time with a blue badge! as it was said in the Kcon rules video 2009, "I. AM. OLD ENOUGH!!!"

i do have a question regarding the badge holders though. Can you buy your own thing to hold your badge, like a plastic card holder on a lanyard, or do you have to use the one they give you/buy the kcon lanyard?

LigerZeroLindsey · « **Reply #42 on:** June 22, 2011, 02:18:19 pm »

i had a post on the last page about it. i am always paranoid about my badge falling off and getting lost forever with the small clip on badge holder they give you at the con DX and i don't want to purchase one of the kumoricon lanyards that hang on your neck. i was at hot topic the other day and saw a Gir lanyard that hangs around your neck and i was like "This would be perfect for my kcon badge!" but i don't know if you're able to bring your own.

Yeah, they told me to go ahead and mail my friend's badge (she also got a youth badge on accident) back to them and they would fix the mistake.

If it does fall off, please come see the Lost & Found people. In general, your fellow attendees are so conscientious that we usually have stacks of boxes of stuff left over every year. Seriously.

Try hanging out with the L&F people for a little while during con, and you'll see a steady stream of people coming in all day... because they really care about their fellow attendees and want to make sure someone's driver's license, expensive camera, badge, important memorabilia, new iPhone, etc doesn't get lost. If it gets dropped as opposed to being yanked off and stolen, it's almost sure to be turned in.

I'm really sorry to hear this has happened to you. If you want to bring in your own lanyard, please do so - the only thing we really care about is that people keep the badge's face easily visible at all times (except during photos, of course).

If a line is really crowded and people have to stop and rummage around for a badge, it holds things up. So it makes the yojimbo's lives much easier if a lanyard makes someone feel more secure that they can keep their badge out without accidentally dropping it or having it yanked off and stolen.

@random · « **Reply #69 on:** June 26, 2011, 06:14:45 am »

Ouch, double-post. I shoulda thought to add this to the last one...

It sounds like most of these questions could be better answered by the Kumoricon registration staff, who do keep an eye on the 2011 Registration FAQ/Guide/Answer Topic. If you have a question or comment that doesn't directly pertain to the registration process, what kind of badge you get, etc, then please do leave it here - but otherwise, it'd be better to let the official reg staff handle it.

(If you already have tried asking in that thread but the reg staff haven't seen it yet, please feel free to PM me and I'll give them a poke.)

So i got my re-sent badge the other day in the right color(yellow because i'm 15), but it has the mascot on the front of it in full size and not in it's chibi form.
I'm curious as to weather or not they still put the chibis on the front of the 17 and younger badges or not, or if this is another mis-print.

Saddly they only put chibis on children and teens in my experiance you only get the full mascot when you come of age.

Gryffinclaw Princess · « **Reply #77 on:** July 21, 2011, 01:28:02 am »

Until I was 18 I always had a chibi on my badge. :/
This being my second 'adult' con (My birthday is the month AFTER con. DX) it is my second time with an adult mascot. Both times before I had chibis.

But I got my badge today/yesterday in the mail and ordered the ones for Griff and my brother who will be going to con for his first time this year!

Ummm.. I hate to say this but I think you may have the wrong color.

The red ones are for children 12 and under.

My girlfriend had to send her back twice cause they sent her 2 red ones and shes 20..

Yes that would be really nice if they would clear up some things because i don't know what is going on with the badges this year all all and it seems like they are changing something or not at all and it's confusing people.

I'm not one of the experts, but you nailed the main reason already. Chibis (kids who need red badges) need to have a parent or guardian with them at all times to be safe.

There's a thread elsewhere talking about a (alleged) pedophile/hebephile getting busted by the police at another con - that kind of stuff is why we take it seriously. We'll do our best to protect underage people from human trash, regardless... but by far the best way we can protect the chibis isn't anything we can do directly. It's by making sure they keep a parent or guardian with them at all times. For that, we need to know who they are.

@random · « **Reply #110 on:** August 03, 2011, 09:03:24 am »

One thing, though... for a fast/accurate response on badge questions, the official registration thread is the best place to go. I'll be glad to answer questions if I know (and I'm sure the other mods would as well), but there's a lot about registration we don't know.

The best people to ask are the registration staff - either directly (registration@kumoricon.org), or in the registration FAQ / thread.

_{It's fine if people want to talk about the badges, what their numbers are, when they got them, new ideas for badge designs, etc... but badge questions really should go to the registration thread.}

Hello everyone.

First off, I'd like to say on behalf of the Registration Staff, thank you for your purchase for Kumoricon 2011.

This year you may have noticed people being more vocal about their badge errors (and we like that!). However, because people are being more vocal it may seem to some like there has been an explosion of badge errors this year, especially in comparison to previous years. This is not the case.

Out of the 2100 or so pre-reg badges we've processed so far this year, only about 100 have been shipped by mistake. Mistakes happen, but the number of badge errors we've shipped this year is about where we expected it to be. Do we wish we were perfect? Of course! But we do make mistakes, and we fix them as soon as we know about them.

I hope this clears up some of the confusion about badge printing out there. If you have more questions, you can email us (registration@kumoricon.org), talk to us at the next general meeting, or even learn about it first hand by signing up as staff!

Thanks Again!

Chris Blackburn
Assistant Registration Manager

After a certain point we couldn't mail out anymore badges and sadly this included replacements.

Any badges we didn't send out will be held in Will Call but please send us a email as soon as possible to confirm that your badge is there and will be ready for you to pick up (No fee!).
