🚨 Event Updates! 🚨

If you are on your way to the convention we HIGHLY recommend getting your tickets online before entering the building,our ticketing website is overloaded 🤯

Also recommend accessing the online map prior to arrival and taking screenshots, y'all are showing up and pushing the map to its limits! We are so excited to see the convention packed and people using the resources ❤️

Please note that we expanded into Pioneer Hall! To venture into the land of vending, guest celebrities and Artist Alley you will go through Edmund Fitz (Community Hall) towards the Doors of Durin and follow the arrows on the floor!

If you are able to hit up an ATM before arriving that is a good call. There is only ONE up and running as of 2pm in the DECC by the main ticketing area at the cusp of the roundabout closer to the Amsoil arena. We are working on getting them restocked ASAP but cannot guaruntee the closer ones to be restocked. Do not fret! There are many vendors, concessions and the two bars onsite that accept cards.

We have information booths, volunteers in neon yellow, staff with Excalibur Con badges and the ticketing booth that is full of knowledgeable individuals if you have any questions! We are always happy to answer any questions you have and are happy you are here!
