FAQs
Are there ID or minimum age requirements to enter the event?
We encourage parents & guardians to attend with anyone under the age of 16, and even offer a Chaperone Pass for those 30 and over who are buying a pass for someone under 18. Most of our programming is all-ages, but there are some mature content panels in the evening that will require a government-issued ID to allow entry into those panels.
What are my transportation/parking options for getting to and from the event?
Free parking is available at the venue. If parking fills up, a free overflow lot is available at The Family Arena with a shuttle running between the lot and the venue. Full details at https://animestl.net/venue-and-hotel-reservations/
What can I bring into the event?
Please read our rules at http://animestl.net/convention-rules/ for more information.
How can I contact the organizer with any questions?
You can reach us at [email protected] or by phone at 309-645-1645.
What's the refund policy?
Please reach out to [email protected] with any questions regarding refunds. We will review refund requests via a case-by-case basis. In the case of event cancellation, we will work with attendees on refunds depending on the circumstance.
Do I have to bring my printed ticket to the event? What if I don't pre-register?
It makes the registration process go quicker, so it's encouraged to have either your printed version or e-ticket on your phone ready on arrival. Badge sales are available at the door. However, the pre-registration line is generally quicker than the at-door line, so be sure to buy your badge before arriving if you wish to save time!
Can I update my registration information? Is my registration or badge transferable?
By default, badges are not mailed ahead of time, so unless one chooses the mailing option; a typo on a mailing address doesn't affect regular registration. People who pre-register can change their purchase information at any time (such as changing a badge to another recipient).
Is it okay if the name on my ticket or registration doesn't match the person who attends?
The name on the order does not need to match everyone getting a badge. People may buy badges for others and pick them up.
