Why pre-register?
It is one of the age old questions about convention attendance: Do I pre-register, or buy my membership/ticket at the door? Below are a few factors to consider.
-
Pre-registration allows you to lock in a discounted membership price.
If you’re concerned about how expensive fandom conventions are becoming, then getting your membership at a discounted price is probably pretty important. The general rule of thumb is this: the earlier you buy, the cheaper it is. How much cheaper? Sometimes it can be as much as $20. Sometimes it’s as little as $5. Keep an eye on Norwescon’s website and sign up for our eNewsletter mailing list so that you’ll be alerted when tickets become available and when pre-registration deadlines are looming on the horizon.
-
Pre-registration allows you to (usually) skip the really long “day of” lines.
Aside from saving money, one of the big bonuses to pre-registering for a convention is that you don’t have to wait in line to purchase your membership the morning you arrive. Depending on the time of day and date that you arrive, the lines can be absolutely massive. Pre-registration is almost necessary if you don’t want to waste your precious time in line.
-
Pre-registering guarantees you admittance.
For years with an attendance cap, pre-registering can be the only way to guarantee yourself entry to the convention. There simply may not be any memberships left come Saturday morning. It would really suck to travel to a con and get to the front doors only to find out that the con is full. If you’re concerned about this, you should check the information on their website.
So, eliminate some unnecessary stress from your life. Pre-register for Norwescon today!
