The SOE Fan Faire is a Sony Online Entertainment-sponsored event designed to allow players the chance not only to meet one another, but also many of the more prominent SOE personalities. It's a great opportunity to meet the real people behind the online avatars and the game itself. Though attendees will have plenty of opportunity to mingle freely with one another and make new friends, they'll also have the chance to participate in a number of panel discussions and game-themed live events.

Please note that you must be 21 or older, with valid identification, to attend certain evening events.
I did not receive a confirmation email after I registered. Am I really registered?
If you did not receive a confirmation email after you registered, your registration likely did not go through. Please contact the Fan Faire Team (fanfaire@soe.sony.com) to check on your registration status. Also, be sure that you have an active, current email address.
I can't get there in time for the early registration. Can I still get my Player Passport and get in when I arrive?
Yes! Just check in at the registration desk when you get there (Registration hours will be announced on this website. Check back regularly for updates). Please be sure to bring valid identification.
Can children attend this event?
Children can attend this event, but an adult must accompany all minors. The cost for children is the same as for adults. Please note that certain events are age-restricted. Please visit the home page for more information on which events apply.
My spouse and I both play SOE games. Should we list one of us as a guest?
No. A guest is someone that does not play or have a subscription to any of the SOE online games. Each player should register individually to get his or her personalized Player Passport.
My spouse does not play SOE games but wants to come with me. What is the fee for someone that does not play?
The fee is the same for players and non-players. Just list them as your guest on the registration form.
What about my hotel accommodations?
You are responsible for making your own hotel and travel arrangements. We have arranged special accommodations with the hotel hosting our event, and you may wish to take advantage of these. The special SOE rate at Bally's Las Vegas is currently $65 plus tax on Thursday night, and $85 plus tax on Friday and Saturday night, while supplies last. You can reserve your room online or by calling (877) 603-4390 and telling them you're with the Sony Online Entertainment Fan Faire. The group code is SBSOL0.
What if I need to cancel my registration? Can I get a refund?
To cancel your registration, please email your request to fanfaire@soe.sony.com. Please include your Station name with your email. Refunds can only be issued before the close of registration. Once registration is closed we must guarantee the number of attendees with the venue hosting the event. After July 23, 2010, at 11:59 Pacific Standard Time, we will not process any changes to registrations, cancellations, or refunds.
I am a guide. Do I register under my guide name or my player name?
Register as your play-character and then register for the guide dinner as your guide character, per the Guide Boards.
Can I wear a costume to Fan Faire?
Of course you can wear a costume! In fact, we encourage it. Unfortunately, the hotel does not allow weapons (steel, wood, or any other simulated weapon that may pose a danger to yourself or someone else) in any public area. If you are found with a dangerous weapon in your possession in a public area, you will be asked to return the item to your room immediately.
If you still have questions, please email the Fan Faire Team at fanfaire@soe.sony.com.
