 HOW TO PURCHASE TICKETS - READ CAREFULLY!
METROCON pre-registration has moved to MyConsOnline.com.
Very simply, the pre-registration process for METROCON remains
more or less the same. You'll sign up, login in, choose your ticket and then
pay for it with PayPal. Don't worry, we're going to put up screen
shots to help you along with this.
|
Step 1: If you do not have an account go to
MyConsOnline.com.
If you already have an account, DO NOT make another one! Just login using the login sidebar on
MetroConventions.com or go to
MyConsOnline.com
and sign in...THEN proceed to step 3.
|
Step 2: Click on "Sign Up" and fill out the signup
form. |
Step 3: After signing in, you will automatically be
directed to your "My Page". You can also get there by
clicking on "My Info". |
|
Step 4: Click on "Select Conventions". You can
click on the name of the convention to pull up information on it
on the right, and also select it as a favorite. Click on the "SELECT"
button next to a convention to select it as the current
convention you are viewing. |
Step 5: After selecting METROCON, you will be
directed to the convention's home page. |
Step 6: Click on "Buy Tickets" on the side menu. You will
be able to see all the available tickets. (tickets shown are
only an example. Don't get your hopes up :P)
Click on "Add to Cart" on the tickets you want and then
proceed to buy them with PayPal. |
|
Step 7: You will receive an email from METROCON with your
TRANSACTION ID information. You will also be able to log in any
time and get your ticket information by clicking on "My
Tickets".
|
Once you sign up in the system, you will never have to sign up
again.
You will also be able to select work times, create panels, or
enter online contests that METROCON has available.
If
you have any questions about the process or want to report any
bugs you might find, please contact
TechSupport@MyConsOnline.com.

What is a Tier?
We get this question all the time so we thought we'd try to answer
it so that there is no confusion. Simply put, the Tier is the dates from
which a ticket is available at a certain price. The lower the Tier
number, the lower the price of the ticket you want to buy. It's
incentive to buy your ticket early before prices go up. That's it!
TRANSACTION ID and
picking up your ticket:
We track your registration by the Transaction ID generated from
Paypal.
METROCON will send an official HTML email to you with a PayPal Transaction ID
of your ticket purchase as well as the items and cost.
Every year, we get tons of emails and phone calls asking us to
provide replacement emails with Transaction IDs on them due to
people accidentally deleting their emails, their computers dying, or
being eaten by the next sentient computer virus heck bent on taking over
the digital world. MyConsOnline.com keeps track of your ticket
purchases so that if through some unfortunate circumstance you do happen
to lose your email, all you have to do is log in, and go to My Tickets,
select the one you purchased and then simply print it out again. You'll
never have to worry about not having your Transaction ID again and our
registration department at the convention won't have to worry about
turning someone away because they didn't have it when they came to the
convention.
Please make absolutely
sure that you print out the aforementioned official METROCON 2010 receipt we send to you (make sure it has the
Transaction ID on it) and then present it at registration at
METROCON to claim your Pass(s). You MUST have the receipt with you to claim your tickets
( no excuses since now we know that people can log in any time and
re-print them if needed ).
If you have purchased multiple passes, please pick all of them up at once
at registration when you go to the convention. You are responsible for distributing them to your group (we will not give them out separately).
If you have bought a
ticket for someone else using paypal (child, friend), the name of the
purchaser will show up in our database. As long as the person has the
Transaction ID with them, they will be able to pick up their pass
without the purchaser being present.
Please Note:
Only weekend passes are available for pre-registration. Single day
tickets will be available for sale at the convention.
Payment:
We only accept pre-registration payments ONLY by PayPal.
We DO NOT accept any mail in payments! Please don't try!
At the convention, you
may purchase passes using cash, check or money order. An ATM is
available at the convention center.
Refund/Transfer Policy
NOTE: We do not offer refunds. If you can't attend METROCON after you've pre-registered you may transfer your registration to another person.
Simply have both parties sign the receipt and bring it along with valid
identification to the registration booth.
A METROCON 2010 weekend registration covers all three days, panels, workshops, events, performances, contests, and a host of other activities. The single day registration only covers activities on that day.
Group Ticket pricing and payment:
Group ticket and pricing is available online at MyConsOnline.com. Follow
the procedure above to get to the ticketing and then you'll be able to calculate
your own bulk ticket price for tickets that have bulk pricing available.
NOTE: Things and events that are
NOT covered in your registration fee and will be a separate charge in:
An additional 7% sales tax is already included in the at the door price.
Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
Children 5 and under: free (with parent with paid registration)
The payment methods for registering at METROCON
2010 at the door will be cash, money order or cashiers check.
NOTE: No personal checks or credit cards will be accepted at the door.
