Due to the cancellation of Sakura-Con 2020, we will be automatically transferring all Active Memberships to 2021.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, pre-registration for Sakura-Con 2021 has been temporarily postponed. If you pre-registered for Sakura-Con 2020, your registration has been transferred to 2021 and you will receive an email confirmation.

Pre-registration opening dates for 2021 will be announced across all outlets as soon as possible. We are working hard, and paying very close attention to information regarding the evolving nature of this pandemic, and how it affects live events such as ours.

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.

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.

We will not make exceptions to this rule. If your parent or legal guardian does not wish to attend, they must authorize another adult to be your attending adult. They can fill out and sign a Parental Permission Form designating another adult attendee as an at-con guardian which you can hand to us in Registration at the convention.

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).
