A good idea with name badges is to also have a couple of conversation starters on them. So I could have one that look like this:
Hello, my name is Stuart (SimonWho on FFN)
I hope Kaylee and River get together.
My cat's breath smells of catfood.
That way, people can take just one glance, have an opening topic of conversation ready or know that they should run away as fast as they can.

SimonWho, that sounds like one of those scary team-building exercises you get at scary seminars. I’ve been to one like that. But maybe it would work better with normal people like firefly fans.

I think my badge should say
1) FFF.NET Firefloozy
2) (My Real Name)
3) Place of Origin
And then something clever, if I could think of something clever AND have enough space on the badge!

*to the tune of your favourite gloating song*
I got my ticket, I got my ticket, they spelt my name wrong, but I don't care.
We'll do a "meet you there" thread nearer the time, yes?

The ticket's not 'pretty' per se, its nice and simple. Its black, with 'Serenity' text on it in the pretty font, and a white box with your name in it :-p Not as pretty as the Fusion name cards but nontheless nice.
Only problem is, I have two tickets, and neither of them have my name on LOL! My mother's name and my best friend's are on them... oh well!

Ah but you have to hand your ticket in to get your convention pass when you get there and they are almost always a thing of beauty at Starfury events! For those that don't know, you can't keep your original ticket as they are used to check on attendances for business and insurance purposes or some such.
If you notify Sean in good time, he may be able to amend one of your event pass so that it has your name on it rather than the one on the ticket.

Gorram it (or other suitable interjection), SimonWho is right: there is a mis-spelling in my post above complaining about mis-spellings. In my defence, it's more of a mis-typing: I have to do this pretty quick in case my boss spots I'm not working...
still thinking about the convention,
yours,

We got our tickies! Cool, they're like credit cards. Our number is real big, though, so no fancy greeting on first day and we'll be wayyyy back of the line for pics and autographs.
Why does Starfury do it that way?
I'd think it would make sales drop off over time, because early buyers get all the perks.
I'm no fan of Creation Entertainment, but at least they have a pay-for-better-tickets structure that doesn't punish folks who can't buy their tickets the first day.
I'm sure we'll still have fun...but I doubt we'll bother to stand in all those long lines.

First, the photo session tickets are bought separately, you buy them after registration, they are not dependant on your registration number.
As far as the Starfury system is concerned, if people didn't book early, the event wouldn't take place, because Starfury wouldn't have money up-front in order to get guests to come to the convention. Creation also discriminates, because although people booking first don't get all the perks, in their case it is people with enough money getting all the perks. In other words, if you're not rich enough, you don't get the good seats, parties, photos and autographs. Unfortunately, someone loses out whichever way you organise it.
