Single day badges are good ONLY for the day on which they are purchased, and will expire when the RCC doors close at the end of that day.

Badge Policy

The following is printed on the back of your badge – by accepting your badge, you agree to abide by these terms!

By accepting this badge, the attendee agrees to abide by the rules set forth in the convention program and the guidance of Animazement (AZ) staff, volunteers, and qualified representatives. Failure to do so may result in the immediate confiscation of this badge and the removal of the attendee from the convention area without refund.

This badge is necessary for entrance to all convention events/rooms and should be worn at all times within the convention area. AZ is not responsible for lost or misplaced badges. Attendees may check the registration desk or the convention operations (Con-Ops) room for lost badges, however if not located, the cost of a replacement badge is the full price of the badge at the door. AZ, its staff, volunteers, and qualified representatives, and the Raleigh Convention Center, its staff, and its qualified representatives cannot be held liable for any injuries to persons or damages to personal property resulting from convention attendance.

Refund Policy

Refunds are allowed up to 31 days before the convention. Prior to 180 days (that is, from the end of the prior convention to 180 days before the next convention) we will refund 100%. After 181 days the amount refunded drops (see the chart below). 30 days before the convention, we will stop granting refunds.

All refunds are subject to a $5 administrative fee, and electronic registration fees, including Eventbrite and PayPal fees, are non-refundable.

You may Email Us at registration@animazement.org or send your request in writing to the address below. Please contact us for your refund, as we are able to attend to those more quickly than refunds requested through Eventbrite or Paypal. The request must include the full name and address of the registration to be refunded. Emails should include the email address under which the pass was purchased; handwritten requests should include the email address and be signed by the registrant. While we will endeavor to answer your refund request as soon as possible, please allow up to 8 weeks for processing.
