Admission is only available to AnimeFest members. Memberships are available at the door, but are priced higher than if purchased prior to the convention. Memberships purchased now are valid though December 31st, 2012 and include admission to the annual convention over Labor Day weekend. Additionally the member may also be entitled to attend other AnimeFest sponsored events for free or at a nominal charge (although these other events are rare).

Due to information privacy laws, children 12 and under may not register online. However:

All children under 16 years old must be accompanied by an adult (18+) at all organization functions. Therefore, the adult guardian must also be a member in order to accompany the minor to most convention functions. This does not need to be their parent. [more info...]
Children 7 years old and younger may not actually join the organization, however they are admitted free to organization functions when accompanied by an adult member.
Children ages 8-12 may join the organization, but we can only accept payment at AnimeFest events or by mail. You can mail in their registration with at least one (18+) registration who will be acting as their guardian. For the child, all we need is the name they want on the badge, emergency contact info, and what AF member will be acting as their guardian.

All guests and activities are subject to change. We make every reasonable effort to assure that all activities and guest appearances occur as advertised. However, guests and staff members are subject to illness and unforeseen circumstances and sometimes things don't go as planned. We sincerely apologize if we must change any advertised information before or during the convention. If you have any question or comments, please feel to contact the chairman at any time.
