It will depend upon how many days and what sort of badge you want (vendor or attendee) and the special for the pre-registration is going to be, buy one pass and get the second of equal or lesser value for half price.

Hello again! I was informed the 3 digit code does not work when ordering online. Here is updated information for reserving rooms with the hotel online!

Updated info on reserving rooms, copied and pasted right from the hotel manager's email!

Happy Valentines day to you!

I checked on the reservations and this is what you will need
to make them online rscrscb (double bed room)
rscrsca (king room)
I am holding 20 of each, if one selection sells out first they will get
a message that room type not available. There may still be rooms
available but it would be of the other type. If you have any other
questions or have any other problems just drop me an email.

Also, one fourth of the total number of Saturday badges and almost one third of the total number of Sunday badges available...are sold.

I did not think it possible...but I think if things keep going like they are I may actually sell completely out way before the actual date. =S

Also...Don't forget to make payment!! If payment is not received before 15 days after confirmation the tickets will be canceled and resold.

[TheSaint]

The last vendor's table is being held for AoD US distributor. If they are unable to come it will go back up for sale but at this moment ALL vendor's booths are reserved.

Two Tea Party tickets are being held for Moony. If they are unable to come NO MORE TEA PARTY TICKETS WILL BE AVAILABLE! The Tea Party is over-booked as it is and I will accept no more registrations that request Tea Party tickets.

In other words...
Vendor's booths are sold out!
Tea Party Tickets are sold out!

In addition HALF of the Sunday tickets are gone!
