Press Information

Press badges are first come - first serve.  We will also have a limit on how many badges we will give to a group.  Badges come at a discounted rate of $10 for the whole weekend.  

The pass will give you full access to our Con Ops, Artist Alley and Vendor Room, Panels, Video Room, Game Rooms, Guests, and major events.


You do not qualify for a press pass if you are:
  • A Publisher
  • Sales Representative
  • Non - Editorial Personnel
  • A "friend" of the press person
  • A representative that does not publish reviews about conventions or other convention related topics.



You must present your photo ID AND a published article from your source (or something else that may prove that you are a staff of press).

All press members will be contacted on April 6, 2013 to let them know if they are accepted, waitlisted, or not able to come as press.  We will have press pay for tickets through paypal.  They will only have until April 20th, 2013 to pay until becoming waitlisted.  We will be circulating through this waitlist until June 1st, 2013.


If you cannot make it to Hoshicon 2013 and/or we run out of press passes to give, we are always available for interviews!  Please just email us at 
info@hoshicon.org and we will try to help as much as possible.
