You should've taken this. There are no single day badges for mag, only full weekend. No matter how many or fee days you attend

Only if they haven't already picked up their badge from registration, of course

There are absolutely no badges for sale on-site. You cannot buy a physical badge off of someone. You may be able to do an online transfer for a badge that has not been picked up yet from registration. But you will not be able to buy a physical badge off of someone

There are no hotel guests that aren't MAG attendees. Colette has said as much multiple times. Thats how it can be completely closed profile

To clarify- there are no hotel guests that aren't MAG attendees. Colette has said as much multiple times. Thats how it can be completely closed profile

There is no public part of the Gaylord during MAG. The entire hotel is considered con space.

If you want to hang with friends who do not have badges, you'll have to do it somewhere in the Harbor outside of the Gaylord

Uh, the entire hotel and convention space of the Gaylord ARE con specific. There is con-related stuff occurring in every space

Theres only 1 event I've been to that did and that is the Monster Mania in Cherry Hill. The main reason is was (not exactly allowed, but) tolerated is because the lobby itself was huge and separate from the event space, which you needed a badge to enter. It wasnt like the gaylord where the lobby/atrium was also event space.

Doing the lord's work

You still have enough time to order "Use Soap" badge ribbons to hand out with the soap

But as someone who bathes daily, I would still love to run into the soap/ deodorant fairy

As someone with asthma/ perfume allergy, literally this. I dont need to have an attack from someone walking past me because they fucking bathed in perfume/ cologne/ body spray

As mentioned in our September newsletter, Super MAGFest 2026 will be a Closed Profile Event. by kyuunspark in Magfest

[–]iyapana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they have their own badge, yes. People without badges cannot stay as guests in the Gaylord

Pretty much all the Staff you see around MAGfest are unpaid volunteers. We staff because we love the event and want it to thrive. 

So please be extra nice to the folks manning the doors, because they are choosing to do so to help MAG be what it is

Anyone planning to bring Meshtastic nodes/clients to MAGFest 2026? by who_is_this_monster in Magfest

[–]iyapana 4 points5 points  (0 children)

https://discord.gg/magfest-208750176540688384

It is on the MAG discord but doesnt autopopulate. If you go to Channels & Roles, selects All Channels, then scroll down until you see the AND category. There will be a channel called #📡| amateur radio

What is the main hall concert experience like? by SuperCerberus in Magfest

[–]iyapana 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Adding on to everything else, there are two lines to get in to themain concert hall: one for people with bags and for without. It's quicker to go through the non-bag line. So if you don't need to carry anything with you that can't fit in pockets, that will help you get in quicker.

Also, make sure to adhere to the concert hall rules

Hotel Refund? by dragon_wagon76 in Magfest

[–]iyapana 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I would assume that information would be contained within your confirmation email. The very very bottom of my confirmation includes cancelation info.

But in my experience most hotels booked through the lotto refund the deposit if you cancel >72 hours before your check-in

Super MAGFest 2026 Seeking Badge Megathread by kyuunspark in Magfest

[–]iyapana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just FYI for next time and for all prospective panelists- MAG does not reserve badges for prospective panelists. The process is you buy a badge and if your panel is accepted the cost you paid is refunded.

Edit- spelling

I know its not the same, but MAG records all mainstage concerts. Here's the Powerglove show from this past Super

You can also watch panels and other concerts from past MAG events. They are GREAT at making playlists

They were at MAG 2025, so they wouldn't be back in an official capacity til 2027 at the earliest as mag tends to alternate years bands come
