Hello! I asked support a few questions over a month ago and didn’t get a response. I had new questions that are probably easier to answer so I thought posting here would be better.
We will be working on and off shifts for a booth our friends are running in the Dealer’s Room and are planning on getting vendor’s badges so that we can work there without any issues. However we wanted to ask and confirm a few things.
1. Vendor Badges are full badges correct? So when we aren’t working are we allowed to walk around the convention with this badges like any other regular badge? Or should we purchase a normal badge too?
2. One of us working has a medical condition with her knees and last year we went to the accessibility services so she was able to use the elevator instead of the stairs and escalator. We were wondering if this is something we should do again or if vendor badges will let us use the elevator?
3. In the event of an emergency or the booth needing us to get there ASAP to cover the booth, do we still stand in line or do we speak with the person at the head of the line to go ahead? I ask because last year there was a period of time where they refused to let anyone down the escalator and from the Marquis elevator to finally getting into the convention it took us nearly two hours. That won’t really be helpful if we need to get to the booth. We saw some people were able to skip last year and wondered if that was why since they weren’t wearing gofer or Otakon staff clothing. We of course aren’t planning to abuse this to skip the line we just want to make sure we can get to the booth and respond in a reasonable time.
Thank you so much for your time! I’m sorry this is so lengthy!
