It is a new year, and with it comes another year of Gen Con. If you are like us, you cannot wait to attend and will be glad to know that you can officially pre-register for badges now!

4-day badges this year will run you $68.00. Single day badges for Thursday, Friday, and Saturday will run $38.00 apiece, while Sunday will only cost $28.

For those that have too much money to spend, laying down $500 will get you the VIG package. Also for those interested, trade day is $100.

You can chose accordingly and pre-register at the official Gen Con website here.
