PASS TYPES
What pass should you get?
Check out our WHAT PASS SHOULD I GET? Grid!

 

MVP Pass: That’s the “all access” pass. With the appropriate insurance validation and skill minimums, MVPs get entry into all on and off-skates events, plus access to the training camp on flat tracks, banked track and in the skate park. They get to skate at the  open skate rink, social skates, in the skatepark, and compete or officiate in bouts, Challenges and open scrimmages. They have access to 24-hour pool with a room key and can go to every one of our private social events – everything. There are 2500 of these passes available, and in past years they sold out pretty quickly (about 36 hours in 2015). But here’s the good news: whenever someone cancels a pass and BPT refunds it, that pass becomes available the day their cancellation gets processed by BPT.  Check at the BPT sales page above, which shows the ticket quantity available. Please DO NOT email us about it. There’s no way for us to know when BPT will process the cancellation.

Skater Pass. This pass, with insurance validation and skill minimums, allows you to skate at the skatepark, in open skate sessions and social skates, play in scrimmages, challenges and bouts, and gets you entry into all the non-skating RollerCon events, including off-skates athletic training, seminars, swap meet, vendor village and every social event. The skater pass does NOT include entry into the on-skates training camp on the flat tracks, banked track or skate parks. Skater Pass holders are not eligible for the Bad Ass Passes. These passes don’t always sell out, but they are a lot cheaper earlier in the season.

Off Skates Convention Pass. If you don’t skate, this is the pass for you. This gets you convention off-skates (including NSO & staff, if hired) access to most on-skates events, excluding on skates training, but including watching and off-skates staffing for bouts, scrimmages and challenges. This pass also gets you into off-skates training and classroom seminars, and social events. These passes are unlikely to sell out, but will also cost significantly more on site.

NEW IN 2019: Officials Pass. An Officials Pass has similar privileges (and price) as an Off-Skates Convention Pass, except that on-skates Officials will, with insurance validation and safe skating skills, also be eligible to officiate at RollerCon on skates.  The Officials Pass will also give you access to many RollerCon events, including Officiating and watching bouts, scrimmages and challenges, and attending off-skates seminars and social events. The Officials Pass excludes playing in bouts, scrimmages & challenges, excludes skating in Open Skates, Social Skates and the 187 Skate Park , and also excludes on-skates MVP training. But if an Officials Passholder purchases the WFTDA Clinic Add-On pass, they will be eligible to participate in WFTDA Officials Clinic curricula, on- and off-skates. Clinic add-on passes can also be added to MVP, Skater and Off-Skates Convention Passes (though the last option will not offer the privilege of skating at RollerCon at all).

Children’s Pass. This gives your baby or child entry to some RollerCon events including audience seating for bouts and challenges and vendor village. Children may not attend on-skates training or 21+ events (like our PM social parties or after-hours pool).  Junior skaters are welcome to attend RollerCon with an Off Skates Convention Pass. There are no skating events for juniors at RollerCon. Please note that RollerCon is a convention for adult athletes which (like the entire city of Las Vegas) frequently includes competitions and events featuring adult themes, violence, drinking, profanity and nudity. RollerCon is generally inappropriate for children. Parents who bring their children enter at their own risk and assume all risk for their children. Children must be actively supervised at all times. For insurance and safety reasons, we do not offer free passes or free entry for children or babies of any age.

Off Skates Day Pass.  If you don’t skate, this is the pass for you. This gets you convention off-skates (including NSO & staff, if hired) access to most on-skates events, excluding on skates training, but including bouts, scrimmages, challenges, off-skates seminars and social events for any day of RollerCon events. These passes are unlikely to sell out, but will also cost significantly more on site.

Volunteer Pass. Volunteers earn discounts and freebie versions of the same exact passes listed above, all at costs less than the very cheapest passes that the regular non-volunteers can buy. Their passes don’t sell out when the pass types do (though they must redeem them before the deadline we post each year). You can earn one for next year by volunteering for our RollerCon Army!

VENDOR PASS
Vendors get two or more free passes with each booth. We ask them to fill out a form that we email directly. If the pass is for a skater, we give them an MVP Vendor Pass. If they say they’re not skating, they get an Off-Skates Vendor Convention Pass. These passes have the same privileges listed above, except that they are a different color to indicate that the  holder has after-hours access to vendor areas. Vendors who wish to purchase more passes can check a box during BPT purchase to indicate that they want the holder to have Vendor Access, or request an invoice from RC sponsorship.

ADD-ON Tickets
We have three additional types of tickets you can purchase *in addition* to RollerCon Passes. These add-ons are avaiable for sale later in the season, depending on the ticket. Check the info pages linked below for more info:

  • Bout Tickets We have assigned seating available for our most popular bouts. Find out more about which bouts feature advance seating, seating prices, ticket types and the charities who benefit from your ticket purchases at our Bouts page. All RollerCon passholders are eligible to purchase advanced seating.
  • Bad Ass Passes are line-passes available to MVP Passholders only. New in 2019: we’re revamping how the BA Pass works; look for an announcement! Look for more info on the Bad Ass Pass event page.
  • WFTDA Officials Clinic. RollerCon is proud to partner with WFTDA to host Officials Clinics add-on passes, available to add to any adult RollerCon pass. Look for more information on our Officials Clinic event page.

Validated insurance is REQUIRED to skate at RollerCon. No exceptions! More Info.

ROLLERCON PASS POLICIES

ABOUT SOLD OUT MVP PASSES
Once they are sold out, they are sold out for EVERYONE. Please don’t email us asking to make an exception, or let you use someone else’s pass. If you do email us, we’re just going to sympathize, tell you the same thing, and encourage you to check out the Skater Pass, instead.

ABOUT YOUR PASSES:
Your pass must have your REAL NAME and it must match your Government-Issued ID. If it doesn’t, you will have to get a reprinted pass, which costs $35 and takes time to happen (especially if you’re checking in Tuesday or Wednesday, when the lines tend to be longer).

SHIPPING / WILL CALL:
Passes will be mailed out to US attendees by Brown Paper Tickets IN JUNE. Registration Packets will be available at the RollerCon Registration area. International orders will be available for pick-up at the WILL CALL desk at RollerCon.

TRANSFERS:
Tickets are non-transferable, which means you may not give your ticket to someone else.  You will not be able to buy someone else’s pass, either. Every pass name must match holder’s government-issued ID and the insurance info given to us at purchase. Sorry, but we can make no exceptions to this rule.

UPGRADES:
Unfortunately, we cannot upgrade passes.  You can purchase an upgraded pass then cancel the one you don’t want, though (by using the link below).

Update your INSURANCE NUMBER or DERBY NAME: 
– Update your insurance number(s) on the form at the bottom of the Insurance page.
– Update your derby name or league on your RollerCon pass by emailing anicae@brownpapertickets.com before June 1st. After June 1st, badge reprints cost $35 on site at the BPT desk of our RollerCon Registration windows. Your derby name and league are there for you – RollerCon staff only look at your government name and you can play under whatever name you give to your captains for each challenge. So *we* don’t need that info to be corrected.
Please note that you may not change your gov’t name (especially not to someone else’s) or contact info.

DEFERRALS
Deferrals expire July 1st.

How to roll your pass over to the next year:

  1. Deferrals are available for all RollerCon passes for a $25 fee until May 31st, $50 in June. Deferrals are not available in July.
  2. Passes are only deferable one time (not for multiple years).
  3. If you have received a physical pass in the mail, you must mail it back to us. You will get an email with return instructions within 2 business days of requesting your deferral.
  4. Mailed badges must be postmarked by July 12th.
  5. Volunteers must have signed up for their free pass before they can defer it. If you haven’t sign up for it, we can’t defer your pass (because you don’t have one yet!). Please sign up for your pass using the email we sent you, then defer it.
  6. Please email coordinator@rollercon.com to defer your VOLUNTEER pass (purchased passes must go through the paypal link above). Please include your real name & the words “Staff Pass Deferral” in the subject line. Thanks!

REFUNDS / CANCELLATIONS
RollerCon passes can be refunded for a $50 fee before June 1st.
Cancellations expire June 1st. RollerCon passes are not refundable after May 31st.

How long does it take? It depends. If you have already processed your cancellation, Rollercon takes 2 business days to process digitally. If you have already received your pass, you must mail it back to the address we give you when we process it. Once we receive it, BPT handles their end of the cancellation within 5 business days. From there, it depends how you paid for in the first place. Your bank processing time depends entirely on your bank, but most of the time credit card refunds happen within another 7 days. So start looking for it in a couple days, but don’t get concerned for a few weeks.

EXCEPTIONS AFTER CANCELLATIONS/DEFERRALS EXPIRE
Exceptions expire July 20th.
If you have an injury or illness that prevents travel that occurs after deferral options have expired or a death in your immediate family that occurs after deferral options have expired, please email to ask about your options anytime before July 20th (the Friday before RollerCon starts). Documentation is required. Please email *before July 20th* to request an exception: coordinator@rollercon.com. Deferrals can be used for the same pass the following year. Passes may be deferred only once, not for several years.
*emails sent after July 20th will not be processed.

INJURIES AT ROLLERCON
Injuries at RollerCon that result in the skater being referred out for further assessment or treatment will result in our EMT Manager holding the injured skater’s skating pass until they return with a Return to Play release from a qualified medical professional. If the skater is cleared to skate, their pass will be (happily) returned to them. If the injured skater is not cleared to skate, the EMT Manager will discuss ticket options with the skater. Please note that this only happens in extreme circumstances (generally when the skater leaves in an ambulance), and our first and most important priority is the skater’s safety. Find out more about what happens if you are injured on our Safety Flow Chart. In spite of rumors to the contrary, minor injuries do not get anyone a free pass for future years.
