Pre-registration Price Schedule

Pre-registration is like calling at the theatre or stadium: there is a separate, (theoretically) faster line for claiming your badge. We do not mail or email badges. The pre-reg price for the Weekend Badge is set to this schedule:

Dates (2025 – 2026)Price*
June 1st - August 15th 2026$50
August 16th - September 30th 2026$60
October 1st - January 29th 2026$65
At Con ONLY$75 at the door

Please note: Ticket prices increase at midnight (Eastern) on the listed dates.
A Processing fee applies: 99¢ plus 1% per registrant, along with a 2.99% credit card processing fee, up to a maximum of $4.99 per registrant.

Why is there a fee? There is no fee for paying in cash at the door. (But you won’t get any discounts.) Quantities at each level are limited to ensure a safe and enjoyable Ohayocon 2026 experience.

Age and ID verification

Ohayocon is geared toward a 14+ audience with some late-night sprinklings of 18+ and 21+ restricted events. Attendees under 13 must be supervised by a parent or legal guardian at all times. Up to two children under 13 are admitted for free with a paid admission.

If you pre-register, the name you register to your badge must match your ID, though you can write any name (or no name) on the badge. This is to ensure you are the only person who can claim your badge. We will otherwise only use the name you registered to your badge while discussing your purchase with you.

 Programs billed as “Night” events (e.g. “Friday night”) occur between 12–3 a.m. on the following calendar day, but are considered as being on the named day for admission purposes. For example, an event at 2 a.m. Saturday is a “Friday night” event and requires either a Friday or Weekend badge for admission.

Group discount

Groups of 10 or more are eligible for a $5-per-badge pre-order discount. This saves you double what you would pay in service fees. Simply pre-order all of your badges in the same transaction and the system will automatically apply the discount. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.
