Register for BLFC 2026
Pre-Register
Save time in the registration office and get yourself through the line sooner. Pre-registration lets you pick your favorite badge, input your information in the comfort of your home, pay ahead of time, and guarantee that we will order Sponsor/Super Sponsor gifts for you!
Why pre-register?
- Simpler, faster process at-con
- Early badge pickup on Sunday night (pre-registered Sponsor and Super Sponsor only)
- Swag reserved until Tuesday night (Sponsor and higher)
- Pick your badge art by September 10th (when available) to guarantee the full selection
Important
- Your pre-registration info (Legal Name) must match your photo ID, so we can make sure the person who buys the badge gets the badge.
- When available, pick your favorite badge art in the registration system by September 10th to guarantee the full selection. You can change your pick later until the convention, but stock may be limited after that date.

Boring legal stuff
No part of your registration is tax-deductible, not even upgraded memberships. BLFC reserves the right to revoke your registration without a refund (generally only if you violate the Code of Conduct).
By registering, you also agree to be responsible for bids you make in any auctions, such as the Art Gallery and the charity auction.
Swag photos on this page are previews from manufacturing or preproduction and may be subject to change, for example if an issue occurs with manufacturing.
FAQ
Paid registrations are sent a confirmation email, but spam filters can be hungry beasts. To check manually, log in to registration and look for the “paid” indicator.
There are no one-day badges. Instead, the badge price is reduced on Wednesday and Thursday.
You can upgrade by logging in to registration, picking the higher tier and paying the difference, as long as stock of those tiers remains available.
If you’re 16 or 17 years old …
- A signed, notarized parental consent form is required. Bring the original, not a copy.
- You must bring a photo ID.
- You do not need to attend with a parent.
If you’re 15 or under …
- You must attend with a parent, and they must stay with you at all times.
- The parent must buy a badge.
- All badges are free for children 15 and under, with a paid parent badge.
Any government-issued photo ID (driver’s license, state ID, or passport). Most photo IDs have a barcode on the back which we scan; we do not store any of this data and only use it to speed up account look-up and speed up the line.
No. Everyone must show a photo ID for their own badges.
Pre-registration is the best way to make registration faster for everyone. If you must register the day of the con, please still register and pay online before you get in line to make the process as fast as possible. If you have only cash, register online first, and pay cash when you reach the registration desk.
Yes, but selection may be diminished. To guarantee the full selection, pick your favorite by September 10th in the registration system when badge art options are available there. You can change your pick later until the convention, but stock may be limited after that date.
Yes. We order a limited number of extras beyond what’s reserved for Sponsor and Super Sponsor registrations (amounts vary by item). The con store gets that separate direct-to-store stock immediately, and any leftovers from registration are usually available starting Wednesday. Stock is not huge, so individual items may sell out quickly once they go on sale. Check with the con store for when specific items will be for sale.
You can request a refund until we close registration. After that, if you don’t make it to the convention, we will refund your unclaimed registration within 4 weeks of the convention ending.
Unclaimed registrations no longer roll over and are always refunded, usually 2-4 weeks after the con. If you still want the swag, you are welcome to use your refund to buy swag items from the online con store.
