Don’t worry you’ll get one on arrival…(I hope), but they may give them out on Thursday if you are buying your badge early for the at-door badge for the day you want, or your pre-registration badge.

Thank You! I’m all set and ready.
My son is really interested in comic con. He is only 5. Are children allowed?
All are welcome. If your child is 13 or under, he/she must be accompanied by a responsible adult.
What are the hours of this con, I can’t find it anywhere. Friday from 10am to what. Saturday from what time to what. Sunday from what time to what. Sorry this will be my 1st con I’m a newbie. As soon as I get the times i can base my schedule around it. I’m going every day by the way. Thank you.
Thursday is actually the early badge pick-up day now. Pre-register badges can be got at 4pm to 8pm. At-door badges for the weekend or a specific day can be bought at 6pm to 8pm.
Friday doors open at 10am-9pm (though there may be some after dark events)
Saturday doors open at 10am-9pm (may be some after dark events)

Serious question. I’m from out of state, where exactly is the con at? Like which building? Sorry if this is an obvious question.
MechaCon 2016 will be at the Hilton New Orleans Riverside Hotel.
Where can I park? That’s my biggest concern at the moment.
The Hilton does have discounted parking for MechaCon attendees who are staying at the hotel. There are also numerous parking lots nearby.
I hope you’re all ready to see Ghost Team and Task Force 141
