We think registering in advance for Carnage is a pretty good idea. As a player, you can sign up for games to play in advance. Typically, Carnage opens player registration in mid-September and announces it through various communication channels like Facebook and Instagram. Or, join our emailing list to be in the know on all Carnage convention news.
Carnage uses a real time registration system hosted by Tabletop.Events. Attendees will be able to buy their badge, reserve seats in games with tickets, preorder any convention swag and modify their reservation choices until registration closes, and then during the convention, with any web browser and an internet connection.
How Registration Works
If you’d like a step-by-step walk through of how to use the registration system, check out our handy article on doing so.
Registering online, it’s a lot like shopping: buy a badge for the convention, add tickets to reserve seats in games, and checkout with a credit card. You can add multiple badges to a single order if you’re registering for family members or friends, and then add and manage tickets for each of those badges. Tickets for each game are at no extra cost but it is important to remember to add the tickets to your cart and to checkout, even if there is no payment due.
After checkout, you can modify your choices, get on wait lists and take advantage of vacated seats in games up until the end of October. The system will close for the week leading up to the convention to process badges and packets, and then reopen the morning of the convention for badge sales and game sign-ups. During the convention, be sure to use the Tabletop Events online system to see what games have seats available, sign up for them, and drop other games from your schedule.
At the Convention
If you preregistered, you can pick up your badge and ticket packet from the convention registration desk in The Grand. The registration desk will open early Friday morning of the convention. If you want to buy your badge at the convention, you can do so at the door.
Remember, your badge is your ticket to the convention and all officially scheduled events. It must be worn at all times.
