Attendee registration terms and conditions & FAQ
Animé Los Angeles 21 Badges: You must have a badge if you are 6 years of age or older.
Important note regarding at-the-door sales and pick-up for Single Day badges: Single Day badges will ONLY be sold and available for pick-up (for those purchased in advance) on the day they are valid for (Friday badge on Friday; Saturday badge on Saturday; etc.).
Badge; Ticket; Membership:
These are different but common terms that mean essentially the same thing. When you register online in advance (pay for your badge), you will receive a confirmation email from our payment processing vendor (Cvent). We DO NOT mail out badges in advance. To pick up your badge at the convention, you will only need your photo ID.
No Refunds; all sales final:
Please note there are NO refunds under any circumstances. If after registering (buying your badge) you find you cannot attend, please see the transfer information below. *Completing this registration constitutes acknowledgement and acceptance of these terms.*
Animé Los Angeles 21 is currently scheduled for January 8-11, 2026, at the Long Beach Convention Center in Long Beach, California. In the event this date and or location is changed Animé Los Angeles will make every effort to notify all participants (attendees; exhibitors; volunteers; etc.) as soon as possible. All registration fees including all fees for exhibitor space (dealers and artists) will automatically be transferred to the new dates and/or location. We are unable to offer refunds.
What do I do if I find out I can’t attend after all:
Animé Los Angeles offers an option to help those who register and then learns (before the convention) that they will be unable to attend. Cannot get the time off, you must do something with your family, your unit gets sent overseas… whatever the reason. You can transfer your registration/badge to someone else. We’ve put together a simple guide to help show you how you can transfer your badge here. The last day to request a transfer in advance is January 6th, 2026. Transfers will then need to be handled on site.
Do you offer a different rate for children:
One parent or guardian (Legal Parent or guardian over 18 yrs. ONLY – no siblings; other relatives; friends; etc.) may accompany a paid child (6 yrs. – 14 yrs.). ‘Parent in tow’ badges are $40.00 and will only be available at the door. Children under 6 years old do not need a badge.
I don’t want to have my legal name on my badge. What shall I do:
When you register, you are asked for your legal name. This is to facilitate your picking up your badge at the convention. If you prefer not to have your legal name on your badge, please list your preferred alternative in the “Badge Name” field when completing your registration. If the ‘Badge Name’ field is left blank, we will put your legal name on your badge.
Government mandated restrictions:
While we all hope that there will be no restrictions in place at the time of Animé Los Angeles 21, registration constitutes agreement that you will abide with any restrictions (proof of vaccination; masking; etc.) that are in place at the time of the event. Please remember there are no refunds and the deadline for transfers is December 31st, 2025. (Deadline date subject to change)
Payment Issues:
In the event you receive a payment failure notice/email. Please do not attempt to resubmit your payment. Processing may last up to 48 hours and repeat submissions of payments may incur extra charges on your card! If you have any further questions, please send an email to [email protected]. As long as you have received a confirmation number/email, you are registered for the event!
Regarding ALA 20 Rollovers due to California Wildfires:
During ALA 20, many individuals were unable to attend the event due to the impact of the California Wildfires. As a response to this situation, we have rolled over all badges for those affected. In order to claim your rollover badge/ticket, please fill out the ALA 21 Registration Form using the same email that was used for your ALA 20 registration. On the Registration Summary page, it should display a Free Registration ($0.00). If you purchased a single-day badge for ALA 20, please wait for single day badges to go on sale, and then claim your rollover badge at that time. We hope to see you at ALA 21!
