You must buy a badge to participate in Paint-A-Palooza. Early Bird Badges cover all three days of the con and are offered at special discounted rates - but are only available until 2/7/2022.
Tickets provide access to events during the convention - including giveaways, painting classes, and competitions. Upon purchasing your badge, you may also choose your seat and table. Table assignment tickets are in the Choose your table... event type. A map of the room that includes table numbers can be found at the bottom of each table number ticket description.
NOTE: As a shortcut when buying tickets, you can use the filters at the top of the Event Grid to see only specific types of events. For example, if you only want to see Meals, select Meals and Parties from the All Event Types dropdown menu.
