Please be patient. All of the times listed here are\n approxima te.\n\n\n\n Basics\n ======\n\n\n Who needs a badge?\n\n A badge i s required for each human age 8 and older.\n\n\n Human?\n\n You are a human if you do not know otherwise. People that are not\n humans include goons\, official speaker\,\n village/community/contest/creator staff\, press\, black badge holders\,\n or similar. If you are not a human\, you need to register separately.\n If you don't know how\, see an NFO goon (NFO Node\, formerly known as an\n infobooth\, is where you can get help ). The remainder of this message\n applies only to humans.\n\n\n Lines ? Linecon?\n\n Linecon is your optional opportunity to stand (or sit) in line for\n human registration to open. Doors will open for linecon on W ednesday\n at approximately 17:00. When human registration opens on Thur sday at\n approximately 08:00\, they start working the linecon queue\, a nd the\n line will start moving quickly. (Please understand that we will begin\n processing the line on Thursday morning as soon as the cashiers and\n materials are in place\; we will strive for Thursday 08:00\, but actual\n start may be slightly earlier or later.)\n\n Online badge pur chase (aka pre-registration) has no impact on linecon.\n You can join th e line on Wednesday (if you wish) regardless of whether\n you purchased a badge online or intend to pay with cash. There is only\n one linecon f or both types of badge sales.\n\n Please help us make this a great exper ience for everyone by following\n directions given by goons. After human registration opens\, there may\n be one line for all of registration\, or there may be two lines (one\n for online sales (pre-registration) and one for cash sales). This may\n also change over time\, based on availa ble staffing and necessary crowd\n control. We will strive to make it ea sily understandable in-person as\n to which line you should join.\n\n\n\ n Ways to buy a badge\n ===================\n\n * $480 [2]online p urchase until August 1\, 2024. Tickets are\n transferable. Please re ad the details on the linked page.\n\n * $460 cash purchase on-site.\n \n * As part of a BlackHat registration.\n\n\n Online Purchase\n\n You will be emailed a QR code to the email address provided when you\n bought your badge. Please guard that QR code as though it is cash --\n i t can only be redeemed once\, and anyone can redeem it if they have it\n (including a photo of it). Badges are picked-up on-site -- they will\n not be mailed or shipped.\n\n We can scan the QR code either from your p hone's display or from a\n printed copy. You must have the QR code with you in order to obtain\n your badge. As you approach the front of the li ne\, if you are going to\n show your QR code on an electronic device\, p lease ensure that your\n display is set to maximum brightness.\n\n If you pre-registered\, but ultimately are unable to attend DEF CON and\n w ant to cancel your purchase\, the only way to get a refund is from the\n original online source. We are unable to provide any refunds on-site\n at DEF CON. There is a fee to have your badge canceled: $34 until July\n 15\, and $84 on and after July 15.\n\n Online purchases are provided a receipt via email when the purchase is\n made.\n\n Online purchase -- often referred to as pre-registration -- does not\n allow you to skip an y line/queue to pick up your badge. Once you\n arrive on-site\, you will need to join the existing line for human\n registration. There may or m ay not be a dedicated line for\n pre-registration badge pickup\, dependi ng on when you arrive\, how long\n the line is\, available staff\, etc.\ n\n\n Cash Purchase\n\n Badges will be available for purchase on-site at DEF CON. All badge\n sales are cash only. No checks\, money orders\, credit cards\, etc.\, will\n be accepted. In order to keep the registrat ion line moving as quickly\n as possible\, please have exact change read y as you near the front of\n the line.\n\n There are no refunds given for cash sales. If you have any doubt about\n your desire to buy a badge \, please refrain from doing so.\n\n We are unable to provide printed re ceipts at the time of the sale. A\n generic receipt for the cash sale of a badge will be made available on\n media.defcon.org after the conferen ce. You are welcome to print your\n own copy of the receipt on plain pap er.\n\n\n Via BlackHat\n\n If you attend BlackHat\, it is possible to purchase a DEF CON badge\n with your BlackHat registration.

We're happy to sell you\n however many badges you want to pay for.\n\n If you lose y our badge\, there is unfortunately no way for us to\n replace it. You'll have to buy a replacement at full price.
