The countdown to Gen Con 2018 is at 227 days as of this posting, Gen Con announced they are making a few slight changes to badges for the upcoming 2018 show.

To simplify things, Gen Con will have just one price for each badge type in 2018. They have adjusted pricing to uniform costs to reflect this change. You can buy your badge beginning on January 14, 2018. Badges will remain on sale while supplies last. Updated 2018 pricing is as follows :

Badge Type Price 4-Day $110 Thursday $60 Friday $60 Saturday $70 Sunday $15 Trade Day $200 VIG $600/Returning VIG’s – $650/New VIG’s

Changes Coming To Sunday

In prior years, Gen Con offered a package of four family fun badges at a discounted rate. After reviewing Gen Con 50 data, the typical Family Fun Day purchaser bought two or fewer badges as part of their Family Fun Day Package. To address this inefficiency, They have replaced the Family Fun Day Package. Don’t worry, Sunday badges will remain a great value, but you will not need to purchase the package to attend the convention on that day. Instead, Gen Con will offer single-attendee Sunday badges at a flat rate of $15. In addition, we will raise the maximum age that children can enter the convention free of charge.

Kids Ages 10-And-Under Now Free

At prior Gen Con conventions, children ages eight-and-under received free admission into the convention with a Child Wristband. Starting with Gen Con 2018, children ages 10-and-under will now be able to attend free of charge. Children ages 11-and-up will need a regular badge to gain access to the convention.
