Forgot everything

I just landed in Indy and realized I forgot everything at home. Badges, tickets, etc. Do I have any options to get in still? Is there any way I can pay to get everything reprinted?

It's still early enough if you have anybody that can ship the stuff to your hotel and they get it out Monday during the day it would arrive Tuesday or Wednesday depending on how much you're willing to spend on shipping. 

Looks like usps next day air is $22.50 for the envelope size Gen Con tends to send out badges in and maybe another $3.05 for signature verification so you have a name of somebody at the hotel that received it..

Thanks for that. Unfortunately I live alone and nobody has the key to my place, so I’m pretty screwed if there’s no option.

Unfortunately, per the official FAQ, those items cannot be replaced for any reason and you would have to buy new ones.. and they are already out of 4 day and Sat badges..

You can try customer service and beg, but I wouldn’t hold my breath...

If you have anyone you trust back at home...


  1. Get to a home improvement store and make a few copies of your house key.
  2. Overnight the key(s) to that person.
  3. Have them overnight your badge and materials to your hotel as aegoce described above.

Theoretically you have all of your materials by Wednesday.

Mike or Derek stated in another post that even if they’re sold out of badges, someone that already had a badge and lost it could purchase a replacement.  As for event tickets, you’ll have to repurchase them or use generics if the event is full.  If you explain to the GM that you’re the “no show” due to your lost tickets, you’ll get seated.

This is correct. You can buy everything again and wont get shut out of the con, at least.

Great! This is exactly what I was looking for. I have no problem buying everything again if it means I can still attend!

Yes, you can repurchase everything at the Customer Service kiosk. You do not need to worry about the sold out badge as you are already down for us in the badge count number!
