New for 2009: The official BayCon self-registration kiosks! No longer will you have to struggle to print legibly through three sheets of paper. Instead, you can merely type your information in at the self-registration computer and then proceed to the desk for payment and printing! For those of you who prefer the traditional hardcopy method, our friendly registration staff will still be happy to provide a registration form and answer any questions you may have.

Name & Identification Policy

The BayCon Science-Fiction Convention is a community effort. As such, we do not sell tickets or admission. Instead, well sell memberships to individuals who are interested in experiencing what goes on at BayCon and in becoming a part of our community. As a member-based organization, we require our members' legal names (as would be listed on a government-issued ID) and current address information for our records. We reserve the right to require you to show us a government-issued photo ID with your name and address before registering you as a member or releasing your membership badge from our possession.

This policy does not prevent you from using a "fan name" or "nickname," although it is also our policy that if a fan name is given, the legal name will also appear on the member's badge. If you feel this would cause a problem, please come to the registration desk and ask to see the Registration Department Head, or contact the Registration Department Heads by e-mailing reg09@baycon.org.

Refund Policy

Any BayCon membership will be refunded if the refund is requested prior to the start of the convention. Refunds are subject to verification that funds have cleared into Artistic Solutions, Inc. accounts. Refunds may take up to 45 days to process to allow funds to clear. Once the convention has begun, memberships are transferable, but not refundable.
