Questions and Concerns
Keynote Presentation, Wizard Rock Concert and Tournament Tickets
Some of Terminus’s presentations and events are optional add-ons and require a ticket separate from a conference registration. These events include our keynote presentations, our wizard rock concert, and our Quidditch and trivia tournaments. We charge extra for these events to cover the additional costs we incur in providing meals, renting additional space, and even purchasing t-shirts for participants.
You may find more information about our ticketed events here: Keynote Presentations, Wrock Chicago, Trade Winds Tournament and Thoth’s Tournament of Knowledge. Registrants may add tickets during the registration process, or may use our Change My Registration or Tickets feature to add tickets to an already-purchased registration. If you are unable to attend our entire conference, most of our tickets are now on sale to non-attendees at a higher price than listed below; please click here for more information.

Questions and Concerns
Age Restrictions
Terminus’s programming, events and activities are intended primarily for adults. Anyone who is at least 18 years old as of August 7, 2008, may register or purchase a ticket. Anyone who is 14-17 years old as of August 7, 2008, may register or purchase a ticket, provided that they are accompanied by an adult: a parent or a legal guardian, or a chaperone who is at least 21 years old as of August 7, 2008. Accompanying parents, legal guardians and chaperones must register for Terminus, or if the minor is only attending an additional-cost event, the chaperone must be registered for that event. Registrations and ticket purchases for minors will require entering the booking code of the accompanying adult, so adults must register first.
Anyone under 18 who is attending Terminus with a chaperone must have a parental permission slip on file with us. These permission slips may be mailed to us, or presented at the check-in desk on site. The permission slips do require notarization. Minors attending with parents or legal guardians do not need a permission slip.
Please note that all minors must have their parent, guardian or chaperone present to check in for Terminus (or for minors attending only additional-cost events, to check in for those events). Terminus will be holding an orientation for parents, legal guardians and chaperones prior to the Arrival Dinner on Thursday, August 7, 2008; while this orientation is not mandatory, we strongly encourage anyone attending the conference as a parent, legal guardian or chaperone to attend. More information will be e-mailed to chaperones in July of 2008.
