If i read the information correctly, when you preregister for Historicon, you can pick one game per day to sign up for ahead of time. Is this correct?

If so, how can you add in the other days if you forgot to select one game a day. I only picked one game.

I think you are correct that you can sign up for one game a day. You can get additional game tickets at the convention. There is typically a table set up with tickets for games. At some point the evening before you can get tickets for games. For instance, Thursday evening you can get tickets for Friday games.

In practice, it is rare that you cannot get into a game during any particular time slot. It may not be exactly the game you would have chosen, but there are enough games that you can almost always find something to do.

Buck is correct. However, I think you can go back into the system and add. They do have a contact link on the page that you can ask a question and they are usually pretty fast in responding.

That is correct. Until it is closed out or the games are no longer available, you can log back in and register yourself over and over again. Just click the game on the day that you want – if it is still available and complete it.

Always remember that just because all the slots for a game are "filled" it doesn't mean you can't just walk up and be able to play. If it's something you really want to do then you should try it. A good many guys who take tickets never show up, and some game masters (myself included) will sometimes deliberately list their games with slightly less player slots than the game will take. That way some walk-ups (or friends) can be accommodated.

There is also an active, if frowned upon, black market ticket operation for closed games that takes place.

Hang out next to the Men's room down the hall from the ticket booth. If you see someone else just looking around, ask them if you can see their, ah hem, ticket.

They will know what you mean.

Then you go somewhere and compare tickets. Seeing if you want to take that ticket and if the other person wants to take your ticket.

or you could just do what nazrat said.

What games are you trying to get into? I may have extras I could sell you at a fair price to a man in need!

Stay away from guys from Boston, police officer types , could be hanging out with a Welsh guy , could possibly be sharing Sheep stories , and checking Tickets. As long as you stay away from Bostons finest you should have a great time . ps Bring plenty of money Lots of toys to buy

Victor,

As you know, any games of mine that you might not have been able to register for, just show up and we will almost always be able to fit you in.

Thanks for the responses. I finally figured out how to go back and fill in the other days. I had emailed the contact person twice but never heard back so that's why I asked here.

Peter,
I am registered for your Swiss Miss battle on Saturday night.
