Electronic Certification for 2023
Posted by experimentalgamer 2 years agoon 2/3/2023 at 10:54 PM

We are ready to submit our events for Gencon 2023 and we definitely want to have electronic ticketing.  However, I do not have that option as I am not certified.  So far, I haven't been able to find any information on how to become certified for 2023.  If this info isn't ready yet, should I submit now as Paper ticketing and try to change it later?

You will want to submit your events for paper ticketing for now and we can update it later.

We are still not ready to throw the gates wide open on electronic ticketing, unfortunately. We're still in the "early access" phase, basically, and it works better for some groups and events than others. We need to make sure have time to bring folks up to speed and support them onsite if anything goes wrong.

Anyone who is interested in electronic ticketing should make sure to go through the Electronic Ticketing Information for Event Organizers in detail and email events@gencon.com if your operations onsite fit comfortably into that model and you are running a whole room. We'll review that and get more folks added as we can through the year.

I just followed up with events@gencon.com on this. But if anyone knows of any other way to get certified for Electronic Ticketing, please let me know.

There is no other way - we'll get you sorted out. Things are just busy with event review and the upcoming catalog release.

No problem. I just don't want to miss any deadline.  I did last year and it was a big regret.
