What about Silver, Gold & Platinum sponsors?

  • Silver, Gold & Platinum sponsors will receive private QR codes with their welcome letters that will link them to sponsor-only time slots for applicable events.  The same 1 use per day or event limitation also applies to the sponsor time slots.

What if I leave my phone on the plane/boat/train, it stops working all-together, I’m international and can’t get SMS in the US, or I can’t get / don’t want SMS for any other reason?

  • You may visit our ambassador desks during their open hours and they can assist you with booking a time slot and printing your QR code.  
    • This service is only available during our Ambassador desk open hours.  We will not be able to manually book time slots after hours.  Please check the app or visit one of our Ambassador desk to verify their hours for each day of the convention.  
  • As the waitlist requires the ability to communicate with you live, it isn’t possible for the Ambassadors to enter you on a waitlist without the ability to receive SMS.

What happens if I’m a minute late arriving for my time slot or waitlist entry?

  • If you’re later than the designated time for your time slot or waitlist entry, you’ll receive a text letting you know that your spot has been cancelled.  If you have extenuating circumstances or arrived nearly on time, please ask to speak to an FWA staff member to see if you can be worked in. 
  • Our security staff scanning QR codes for queue entry cannot make exceptions, you’ll need to speak with a member of FWA staff.  We cannot guarantee late entry, but our staff will do their best to accommodate you when space and time permits.

If I book a time slot, do I have to arrive exactly at the specified time?

  • Please arrive as closely as possible!  We want to make sure as many attendees as possible get the opportunity to enjoy all of our events.  When booking a time slot, the booking page will tell you how early or late you may be for a given event.  The reminder text will also let you know how long we are able to hold your slot.

Are there limits on the number of time slots I can sign up for?

  • For some events, yes.  You may sign up for 1 time slot per day for the Vendor Hall & Artists Alley.  
  • Additionally, you’ll only be able to sign up for 1 time slot for the Moonlight Festival
    • You may always join the waitlist for any of these events if you weren’t able to snag a time slot or you’d like to visit again, space permitting.
