Ok so how to best explain this. As of right now I am planning on driving to Indy (from Chicago) on Thursday after I get off of work (planning on arriving by 8-9pm). I want to participate in the mystery map tourney on early Friday morning (8am). I would like to know if anyone knows off hand when event tickets will stop being sold on Thursday? Would I have enough time to get tickets that night when I arrive or would I have to wake up super early to stand inline and possibly miss the mystery map tourny? I was told that I can just order them online right now? But the problem wth that is that I need to purchase a badge before I can do that. I may have a badge coming in from someone else so don't want to purchase a badge. Just wondering if anybody knew the best way to handle the situation. Am I able to purchase events online without purchasing the badge? How does it all work?
If anyone can help plz do so as this could be a deciding factor on if I can even make the trip to gen con or if this will just be another missed year.

I really don't want to miss gen con again or the mystery map tourney.

I believe there are kiosks that sell generic tickets 24/7 so that shouldn't be a problem, but that might be better answered by someone else as I generally pre-order all my stuff.

last year they kept at least one of the Kiosks open at night so that they could refund you money, or get new events. As far as i know they are planning that again.

Thinking back, I believe that the ticket sellers by the Magic players was open all night as they run events non-stop 24/7.

Boy if the ticket booth by magic is open all night that be awsome. The kiosks must be new from when I last went cause they never had anything like that when I was last there. It's a good idea but kind of pointless if they don't keep them open all night. Thanx for the responce guys.
