Just received mine at work. It came in a non descript media envelope. Looks like the RFID is a sticker on the back of the plastic holder. The paper portion seems pretty easy to take out. Happy to finally start counting down!

So, I haven't attended since 2015, but I thought they had switched to hard plastic card for badges by now? I will be honest, I was expecting something more sturdy. I always fear losing my badge when it's only holding on by the smallest of plastic.

Also - does anyone have a recommendation for a badge holder pouch? I looked briefly online today but only found ones from companies that do custom printing. I might just get a waterproof phone bag and use that.

You can't really use a badge holder pouch for these badges. They are too big and already come with a large plastic holder.

I do recommend hat you use a badge pull. Something like this:

You can attach it to your belt, or put it on a lanyard. It makes is much easier pulling out the badge to go against the RFID reader.

Hey SDCC Folks,
I'm looking to purchase a guest badge for 4 days+preview if anyone happens to have an extra.
Really want to go.

No such thing as a guest pass. all badges are with name and if someone sales it both people will be ban for life so no one is going to take that risk. your only option is to buy one if they go up for auction or wait till next year.

Looks like I should be getting mine tomorrow. Kinda sucks we won't be getting any free pins. Will just have to order and pick up during the con.

Woot, got my badges. Two notes:

• No boxes with pins / booklet this year. I assume this is a cost-saving measure, which is understandable.
• I completely forgot that my sis got Preview Night. I myself only have 4-day, so I assumed I got her only 4-day as well. But what happened was we were in a group, and the first group got in while PN was still available. Here I was trying to figure out what we should do for Wednesday evening. Ha.

I was so happy about having a Con and getting my badge, I completely forgot about the box/pin/booklet.

My badge came today!

They did have them in the last few years before COVID. Must be another (hopefully temporary) cost-cutting measure. I thought my mailer was empty at first when it arrived last night; it wasn't totally obvious to me at first from the photos that there was no hard plastic card in the center anymore.
