Admission
We have several options for your visit this January, which are outlined here. A “badge” is what anime cons call a pass: you must wear it in order to gain access to the show. Ready? You can register now.
| Badge | Price at the door | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekend | $75 | ||
| Friday | $45 | ||
| Saturday | $55 | ||
| Sunday | $35 |
| Badge | Admissible Hours |
|---|---|
| Weekend | Thursday* 7 p.m. – Sunday 5 p.m. |
| Friday | Friday 9 a.m. – Saturday 9 a.m. |
| Saturday | Saturday 9 a.m. – Sunday 10 a.m. |
| Sunday | Sunday 10 a.m. – 5 p.m. |
*Thursday admission is by will-call only.
Pre-registration price schedule
Pre-registration is like will call 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* |
|---|---|
| Until June 1st 2025 | $45 |
| June 1st 2025 – Aug. 15th 2025 | $50 |
| Aug. 16th 2025 – Sept. 30th 2025 | $60 |
| 3-Day At-Con | $70 at the door |
* Stated price increments occur at midnight (Eastern) on the listed date. Prices shown do not include processing fees (99¢ + 1% service fee per badge plus 2.99% for credit card processing). There is no fee for paying cash at the door. Why is there a fee?

COVID-19 Policy
When you register, you must agree to the following terms regarding SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19:
I understand that attending Ohayocon is voluntary and involves some risk of being exposed to, contracting, displaying symptoms of, or otherwise experiencing SARS-CoV-2 and/or COVID-19. I agree that I assume the full risk, and Ohayocon cannot be held liable for any damages related to SARS-CoV-2 and/or COVID-19. Finally, I assert that I have received consent from each other person I register via this service and that they also agree to these terms.
There is a location on the pre-registration service for you to indicate your agreement. Policies regarding COVID-19 are available on our Policies & Guidelines page. We will not offer refunds if you agree to the terms and later decide you no longer want to attend because of COVID-19 policies.
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 at all) 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. The policies regarding acceptable ID for verification of identity and age are available here.
Age restriction table

Admission timetable for age-restricted events

† 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 with the code OhayoFriends. This saves you double what you would pay in service fees. If you have any questions, feel free to send us a message.
Refunds and transfers
Badges are non-refundable and only good for the show they’re purchased for. You may transfer your badge to another person until the last day of pre-registration by contacting customer service.
