Important Membership Registration Details

Memberships not Tickets

We are a 501c3 nonprofit membership organization that is 100% volunteer run (even our board of directors do not get paid). That means to attend Sakura-Con, you must purchase a membership.

Memberships are valid for all 3 days of the event!

Your membership is valid for all three days of the event, and we do not sell single day memberships. You must pick up your badge from Registration during open Registration hours to be able to attend the event!

If you have additional questions, please see our FAQ page and our full Membership Policies.

Minors must Attend with an Adult

If you are attending the convention and under the age of 18, you are required to have an attending adult who is also a registered member.

No Mailed Badges

We do not mail out membership credentials or badges. You receipt, money order receipt or canceled check is your proof of purchase. You will receive an email from JoinIt, our membership management system.

Badge pick up for members attending Sakura-Con will be at Sakura-Con during the event (see details below).
