Badge registration walkthrough

We’re so excited to reveal the new registration system for Origins Game Fair 2021! We have outlined the steps below for purchasing your badge and are providing some answers to FAQs. 

Badge registration opens June 26 at 1pm ET. Visit this link to register at that time!

1. Select Your Preferred Badge Type

For a full description of these types, please visit the Badge Registration page.

For all other types, please follow these links: Volunteer / Game Master / Press / Clubs / Retailers / Exhibitor / Artist / Author / GAMA Members

2. Login or Create an Account

Your account credentials from the previous year will carry over. If you do not remember your password, you can request to change it by clicking the “Forgot password” button on the login page (Picture 1).  

If you do not have an account, you will need to create a new one to register your badge for Origins 2021 (picture 2). This account will also be used for event registration when that opens in September. If you do not complete your registration in one sitting, you can also login to the account you have created to continue where you left off.

Note: unpurchased items will not stay on your account if you log out. They will be removed from your cart and put back up for sale to others if you do not check out. 

3. Select Attendee

The first badge you register must be for a participant who will be 13 years or older during the show (September 30 – October 3). Since there are age restrictions on each badge type, it will be necessary to enter every participant’s birthdate. (Picture 1)

Select the attendee you would like to register. At this point, the only attendee’s name that should appear should be yours, since the system inputs the information from your signing up. (Picture 2)

After you complete all fields, select “Add to Cart”. (Picture 3)

4. Add Additional Attendees

If you would like to purchase the same badge type for an additional attendee, select “Register Another Attendee” from the pop-up window or “+ New Participant” from the product page.

If you would like to purchase a different badge type for an additional attendee, click outside of the window and click on the “Shop” button in the top-left of the site.

Now that you have a badge in your cart, you can add badges for attendees who will be younger than 13 years old during the show (September 30 – October 3). Child Passes are for attendees who will be 12 years or younger during the show.

5. Checkout

Once you have all the badges you would like to purchase in your cart, proceed to Checkout.

If you have not yet added any 12 or younger badges, you will have an additional opportunity to add these badges to your cart at this time. After adding any additional minor badges, please press “No Thank You”.

The next page will ask for your payment and billing information. This is also your opportunity to input any coupon codes that you have been granted. We offer discount codes for Educator, Military, and Game Clubs. Follow the relevant link to request a code.

5. Confirmation Emails

There are two types of emails you will receive once your order has been processed. 

Order Confirmation: This email is only sent to the account holder and confirms your payment and all the contents of your cart.

Registration Confirmation: A unique email will be sent to each attendee in your group with the barcode they will need to present at the Pre-Registration Kiosks to print their badge on-site. Please be sure to save this email!
