Tickets must be purchased from EventBrite and are on a first come\, first served basis. We have limitations on numbers of attendees that we can legally have in the physical space so we have an attendee limit set. \nDo I need to bring my printed ticket to check-in?  \nYes and no\, we will be using a scanner to check attendees in and provide you with your swag bag of goodies. If you have your ticket whether printed or electronically we will be able to check you in faster. We’ll still be able to look you up and check you in\, but we’d much prefer you had the barcode! \nDroids\nCan I bring my droid?  \nUh\, yeah! That’s what this is all about. We’ve set aside an area to display droids so you can show off your creations and let others check out how you’ve made yours. \nWhat droids can I bring?  \nAny droids are acceptable. We started with astromechs but there are so many amazing droids out there we love to see all the variety. \nTable Space\nCan I bring my giant collection of stuff and take over a table(s)? \nSpace is becoming an issue with so many attending so we’re having to limit dedicated table space to accommodate our growth. Please review the ticket options if you need table space. No\, this doesn’t mean droids\, just the general parts display that inevitably show up. Yes\, this was a really hard decision\, and we’ll be discussing larger venues at this DroidCon. \nVendors\nCan I bring stuff to sell?  \nSure\, it’s totally acceptable to bring your droid related items to sell. All we ask is if you’re planning to sell to grab a premium ticket so you have a dedicated space to display your items. \nChildren\nCan I bring my children?  \nAbsolutely! There’s a ticket option for children under the age of 12 available. We love seeing the wonder on their faces\, the only thing we ask is that they are supervised at all times. \nSWAG\nIs there going to be some cool SWAG available?  \nWhy yes\, yes there will be. We’ve partnered with TeeSpring for a T-Shirt option\, that’s external from the event itself but we encourage you to pick one up if you like. Otherwise we’ve got patches\, lanyards\, and challenge coins lined up for attendees. \nAdditional Patch / Coin \nIf you would like an additional patch or coin with your order\, you can select it during the order process. Please note; you’re getting one of each as part of your ticket price but we know there are collectors who like to order additional. \nHotel\nIs there a code for booking the hotel?  \nNot really\, we have reserved a 50 room block at the Holiday Inn Indianapolis Airport. We recommend you call the hotel directly to book your room at (317) 856-6200. Tell them you are attending DroidCon to receive the room rate negotiated. There are additional hotels nearby should you prefer another location. \nYear of the GNK\nSo what is the Year of the GNK?  \nWe’re planning a GNK build-off challenge for builders to compete to create the most GNKalicious droid ever conceived. We’re recommending you get together a team of six master builders to work together in creating your masterpiece. We will be providing you a life-size shell for you to customize. Basically\, we’re providing the box\, legs\, and feet premade out of wood. \nWhat do you need to provide?  \nThe greeblies! Start planning with your team how you’d like to decorate it and gather your greeblies. We’ll have some hot glue guns to assist in your assembly but the sky is the limit with your imagination. \nAt the end of DroidCon we’ll be voting on the best GNK in a few different categories. \nThe winning team will receive an amazing prize! \nAll the GNKs created will be displayed at the next Star Wars Celebration.
