Episode 225: All the Flavors of Event Tickets at Gen Con 2026

On this episode, we discuss two great topics to get prepared for events at Gen Con 2026! * This year, Gen Con has pushed for more electronic ticketing, which means your event ticket envelope is understandably lighter! * Given the different types of tickets, you'll want to be sure to have different types of tickets to play the events you couldn't get into before the convention! Listen in, listen up, because you don't want to get caught with the wrong kind of ticket around your lanyard! And don't wait... buy some generic tickets [https://www.gencon.com/events/300794] right now! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Listen in for our sneaky good recommendations about fast food, healthy food, and even booze as a food in and around the convention center.
