Group Registration

If you are a member of an anime club, similar organization, or just a group of family or friends, your group may be eligible to pre-register as a Group to obtain additional convention registration savings. Groups of 10 to 15 qualify for a discount of $5 per group member off the pre-registration price when registering on or before July 15th, 2024. There is no group registration discount after the final discounted pre-registration period ends on July 15, or when registering at the door. The group discount cannot be applied to registrations after purchase.

If you wish to register as a group, please email [email protected] to request a group discount code on or before July 15th, 2024. Include the name of your group plus the first and last names of all the members of your group that will be registering. Once you have received your group discount code, you should register you members into the Station Unity Tixr Registration page. You will receive the confirmation once you have registered.

NOTICE:

If Refunds of group registrations are done when those individuals were registered as part of a group benefiting from a group discount, then they risk invalidating the group discount if it causes the group to drop below the required number of people (10 People). Thus a full refund of the group registration will be done and a new group registration will need to be purchased.

Accessibility

For those attendees with accessibility challenges, we offer a quick-access Registration line and a badge ribbon that will provide use of a chair while in line, priority seating, Gaylord handicap facility access, and other accommodations.
