F.A.Q
What is A.G.S Con?
A.G.S Con is a two day convention celebrating anime, gaming, and sci-fi. It started out as an idea between three friends in 2015 and will (hopefully) become an event we hope everyone of all ages and walks will enjoy. 2018 was our first official year. We hope that you will enjoy and help us grow into a con for the ages.
Do I need to buy a badge to get in?
You will need to buy a badge, which grants you admission to the conventions. To get a badge you need to register for the convention, by either pre-registering before the event or when you arrive at the event. Children 8 and under are free with parent/guardian badge purchase.
Where do I get my badge?
You get your badge at registration, which is where all attendees must go before they are able to go into the con. There will likely be signs when you arrive to the location, pointing you in the right direction, or you can ask a staff member where to go.
Do I have to cosplay?
No, you can wear whatever you want, as long as it meets convention and common decency laws.
Can I have a weapon as part of my costume?
Depends. Conventions have rules and regulations for weapons, usually determined by laws at the local, state, and federal level, as well as the facility's rules. Generally, these include things such as, but not limited to, no live steel, no projectiles, no water guns, and no wooden practice swords. Chances are you will have to make a prop or buy something that's totally con-safe.
Who can pick up badges?
Each individual must pick up his/her badge. Id is required for pre registered badge pick-up. The name on the order must be the one to pick up unless an email has been sent stating otherwise.
Under 18 with no parent/guardian at badge pickup time:
They must have someone over the age of 18 in their group to vouch for them to pick up badges
