I did not submit a badge form in time

No worries, you will still get your own personal badge, but it will not be customized with your custom badge image and flags. You will receive a generic badge from us so you have access to the convention!

How/When do I pay for the hotel?

Some time during summer (June/July) we will start to send out invoices for the first night to the room captains. This should be paid before the due date to ensure your room. The remaining amount is paid directly to the hotel during checkin.

I need a wheelchair-accessible room

Can I bring my personal assistant?

If you need your assistant with you in the convention area, they will need to purchase a ticket as well. If you don't need them to accompany you on the convention floor but only need to have them nearby, they don't need a convention ticket and would only have to pay for the hotel room.

Please contact us here informing us of your needs.

We're doing another collab with 'Show + Tail' and they're doing the Toffee pin. We'll update the image as soon as we have the art.

Travel advice and info

Should I bring cash?

Norway uses Norwegian Kroner (NOK) as its currency, and mostly operates with credit and debit cards. Check with your bank to see if your card is approved to be used in foreign countries. If you decide to bring cash, avoid large bills. Other currencies such as Euros will not be accepted.

Do I need to bring an ID?

Yes. We recommend always carrying a passport or government approved ID to confirm your identity when entering Norway. For age-restricted purchases such as alcohol or nicotine products, a photo ID such as a driver's license will usually work, too.

Trick or treeeeat~? Indeed! It's Rise of the Blood Moon.

Are there different ticket types?

This is not something we can do. As the waiver says, you will be recorded by the on site media crew.
