Here’s some hints and tips straight from the folks at Registration to get you in, badged, and out to enjoy the convention as quickly as possible:

• Cash is much faster than using a credit card. Use cash instead of plastic if you can.
• Go online and fill out the Prior Data Entry Form. Print it and bring it with you. It speeds up on-site processing by a factor of ten.
• Don’t queue up until registration opens! It just makes the lines longer and doesn’t do anything to speed things up. If you do queue up, be patient and know it’ll take longer.
• If your address information is incorrect, change it later, not while at the registration station.

And remember, be nice to your fellow fans who work in Registration. They’re all volunteers, and they work very hard to do their best by y’all.
