5. Can I participate in a $0 event without a badge?
No. Participating in any official Origins event requires a badge. Back to top.
6. Can I authorize a friend or family member to pick up my badge for me?
That depends. Badges pre-registered before the show are sent an email with a barcode. If you give a copy of that email to another person they may scan it to claim your badge at a Pre-Registration counter. Badges requiring ID (Military and Educators) must be picked up by the person to whom the badge is registered. Child badges (ages 9 and under) must be picked up by a parent or guardian. The child must be present in order to claim the badge.
For more information visit the Registration Information page. Back to top.

Origins will offer the Family Day pass this year on Sunday only. A family is up to 2 adults and 4 children under 18. Back to top.
