CODE OF CONDUCT
AireCon events cater for all types of gamer, regardless of who they are and what their experience is with gaming. We aim to be inclusive and anyone that can adhere to the simple, but fundamental, rules set out below is welcome. These rules also apply to any online sites and forums.
We're pretty relaxed here at AireCon, but there are a few things we ask:
Respect each other and people’s pronouns
Don’t use language that might make others feel uncomfortable, if in doubt, don’t say it
Keep on top of your personal hygiene, there are refresh stations in each of the toilets to help with this
If you would like to take a picture of someone, please ask first
If you're in doubt, remember Bill & Ted's law, 'Be excellent to each other'. If you see something or are part of a situation where someone else clearly feels uncomfortable, please speak out, or, if you don't feel able to, come and speak to us.
If you need help or would like to raise something with a member of the AireCon team, simply head to the ticket desk and ‘Ask for Angela’.
As long as you can adhere to these simple rules you're our kind of person, otherwise AireCon might not be for you and may result in you being asked to leave the convention.
TICKETS
To attend AireCon you just need to have a ticket for the days you wish to attend. Pre-order a ticket through the ticket shop when it goes live later in the year, and collect it on the door, or purchase a ticket on the door. You must have your ticket with you at all times, failure to produce one when asked could result in you being refused access to the show or being asked to leave. If you lose your ticket please let us know at soon as possible as we may be able to resolve the situation for you.
Tickets are fully refundable, with no reason required. You just need to email us with your order number before 2pm on Thursday 7th December 2023.
