Registration Policies
Name & Identification Policy
We require our attendee’s legal name (as would be listed on a government-issued ID) upon registration. We reserve the right to require you to show us a government-issued photo ID with your legal name in order to release your badge from our possession and before registering you at the desk.
This policy does not prevent you from using a “fan name” or “nickname,” and having that show up on the badge instead of the legal name. We reserve the right to request you to choose an alternate “fan name” if the one entered is deemed inappropriate for all ages audiences.
Please contact registration with any questions.
Lost Badge Policy
Please Don’t Lose Your Badge!!!!! We cannot replace a lost badge. If, despite all your efforts to hang onto it, your badge becomes lost, please report it to the Registration and Con-Ops desks as soon as possible. Once your lost badge is reported, you may purchase a new badge (unfortunately, at full price). As soon as your lost badge is found, we will, with a huge sigh of relief, refund your second purchase. We realize that this policy is, to say the least, draconian, but in the past, people have ‘lost’ their badges by handing them off to a friend, so for that reason there will be no exceptions.
Refund Policy
BayCon memberships are non-refundable. You can contact Registration at least 24 hours prior to the convention to transfer your badge or to roll over your registration to next year’s convention (only once).
We reserve the right to refuse sale of a badge to BayCon to anyone.
Health Policy
