Arriving Soon: Your e-Ticket
Hi friends! This year we are sending everyone e-tickets ahead of the convention to speed up your registration experience at the convention. If you are attending, you will receive an email containing a QR code. Some mail clients will need you to click a confirmation to show this image!
You can either print this email or have it on your phone to scan when you arrive at registration. This will bring up all your details for us on our system to complete the registration process. Please note, this doesn't take the place of your ID, which we will still need to check!
The e-tickets are now being sent but there's a LOT of you, so we expect this to take about 48 hours to complete. If your friends receive one before you do, don't panic! If you haven't received anything by Tuesday, give our friendly Reg team a nudge at registration@scotiacon.org.uk for help.
Finally, if you arrive on site and realise that you haven't brought your e-ticket with you, don't worry! We can still check you in with just your ID, it will just take a little longer. Registration opens on Friday from 8am to 6pm in Castle 2 and 3. Outside of these hours, you can register at Con Ops any day of the convention from 8am to 8pm. See you there!
