Refund / Return / Lost Badge Policy
Passes are NON-TRANSFERABLE and NON-REFUNDABLE – All sales are final – No exceptions.
Sharing a badge is NOT PERMITTED and will be subject to immediate confiscation.
This will depend on the severity of your violations. The chairpersons at Anime Revolution will consider your request to clear your name after a thorough investigation of the situation.
The first place to check is Lost & Found located at coat check to see if it has been returned.
If your pass has not been returned, a new pass must be purchased.

No, you can only pick up your own pass. However, if you hold an account with Anime Revolution, you may pick up all the passes that are registered under your account. The only exception to this is if you’re the parent or legal guardian and you’re picking up on behalf of your children for the Child Pass.
Yes, you must present official photo ID to pick up your pass. This can include BCID, BC Services Card, Drivers License, etc. If you live outside Canada, please be prepared to present your country’s own official photo ID. Go-Cards and other school identification must have a clear photo of your person and must be provided in conjunction with a CareCard or a legible photocopy of your birth certificate (both pieces of ID must match in name). Bus passes are not eligible for pass pick up.
At-con identification is any sort of government issued ID or school identification (including your photo). This identification is used for admission for 18+ panels. All attendees may also be subjected to random badge checks to minimize the use of stolen/lost/switched badges.
