Please be patient. All of the time s listed here are\n approximate.\n\n\n\n Basics\n ======\n\n\n Who needs a badge?\n\n A badge is 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/com munity/contest/creator staff\, press\, black badge holders\,\n or simila r. If you are not a human\, you need to register separately.\n If you do n't know how\, see an NFO goon (NFO Node\, formerly known as an\n infobo oth\, is where you can get help). The remainder of this message\n applie s only to humans.\n\n\n Lines? Linecon?\n\n Linecon is your optional o pportunity to stand (or sit) in line for\n human registration to open. D oors will open for linecon on Wednesday\n at approximately 17:00. When h uman registration opens on Thursday at\n approximately 08:00\, they star t working the linecon queue\, and 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 s trive for Thursday 08:00\, but actual\n start may be slightly earlier or later.)\n\n Online badge purchase (aka pre-registration) has no impact on linecon.\n You can join the line on Wednesday (if you wish) regardles s of whether\n you purchased a badge online or intend to pay with cash. There is only\n one linecon for both types of badge sales.\n\n Please help us make this a great experience for everyone by following\n directi ons 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 onli ne sales (pre-registration) and one for cash sales). This may\n also cha nge over time\, based on available staffing and necessary crowd\n contro l. We will strive to make it easily understandable in-person as\n to whi ch line you should join.\n\n\n\n Ways to buy a badge\n =============== ====\n\n * $560 [2]online purchase until July 18\, 2025. Tickets are\n transferable. Please read the details on the linked page.\n\n * $580 [3]online purchase until August 1\, 2025. Tickets are\n transf erable. Please read the details on the linked page.\n\n * $500 cash pu rchase on-site.\n\n * As part of a BlackHat registration.\n\n\n Onli ne Purchase\n\n You will be emailed a QR code to the email address provi ded when you\n bought your badge. Please guard that QR code as though it is cash --\n it 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 e ither from your phone'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 th e front of the line\, if you are going to\n show your QR code on an elec tronic device\, please ensure that your\n display is set to maximum brig htness.\n\n If you pre-registered\, but ultimately are unable to attend DEF CON and\n want to cancel your purchase\, the only way to get a refun d is from the\n original online source. We are unable to provide any ref unds on-site\n at DEF CON. There is a fee to have your badge canceled: $ 34 before\n July 18\, and $84 on and after July 18.\n\n Online purchas es are provided a receipt via email when the purchase is\n made.\n\n O nline purchase -- often referred to as pre-registration -- does not\n al low you to skip any line/queue to pick up your badge. Once you\n arrive on-site\, you will need to join the existing line for human\n registrati on. There may or may not be a dedicated line for\n pre-registration badg e pickup\, depending on when you arrive\, how long\n the line is\, avail able 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 registration line moving as quickly\n as possible\, please have exact change ready 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 des ire to buy a badge\, please refrain from doing so.\n\n We are unable to provide printed receipts at the time of the sale. A\n generic receipt fo r the cash sale of a badge will be made available on\n media.defcon.org after the conference. You are welcome to print your\n own copy of the re ceipt on plain paper.\n\n\n Via BlackHat\n\n If you've purchased a DEF CON badge as part of your Black Hat\n registration\, you're in luck - y ou will be able to pick up your DEF\n CON badge at Black Hat on Thursday . Please bring your Black Hat badge\n and watch for emails from Black Ha t about where exactly the badge\n pickup will be. There will be DEF CON goons at Mandalay at the pickup\n desk to help out and answer questions. \n\n Please note that DEF CON is not able to access or verify Black Hat\ n registration or attendee info. DEF CON's preregistration list is not\n the same as Black Hat's. For help\, ask at Black Hat registration or\n the concierge area.\n\n\n\n Misc\n ====\n\n Want to buy multiple b adges? No problem! We're happy to sell you\n however many badges you wan t to pay for.\n\n If you lose your badge\, there is unfortunately no way for us to\n replace it. You'll have to buy a replacement at full price.
