Policies
Memberships vs. Tickets
Anime Detour does not sell tickets. Instead, the convention sell memberships to a yearly event. With that in mind, the legal owner of a membership/badge/registration is not the person who paid for it, but the attendee listed on the registration. Only the legal owner of a membership (the attendee) may relinquish, transfer, or pick it up.
Providing false or otherwise fictitious names (i.e. non-legal names) on registrations can make it impossible for a badge to be issued.
Do I need to Register?
YES! Every person attending Anime Detour must either register online or through the mail!
Any individual who intends to enter con-space is required to be registered and have their badge visible. Con- space includes (but is not limited to) areas such as the Dealer’s room, panel rooms, room parties, and programming rooms. There are volunteers in each area that check to make sure every attendee has their badge visible or deny access to people who don’t.
General hotel space (i.e. the lobby, personal hotel rooms, attached businesses) will not require badges.
A person may choose anything that is family appropriate (by discretion of the Registration staff) and is of reasonable length. Special characters and/or any inappropriate names will not be allowed.
Anime Detour reserves the right to alter or shorten badge names as necessary.
Anime Detour offers an at-door, adult, Sunday-only passes for $15 (minor and children rates do not change). If a person is interested in attending Friday and/or Saturday, a standard membership will need to be purchased. The standard membership will allow the person to attend the full weekend.
