Before the Festival:
- Please take a moment to read our code of conduct.
- If you are younger than 18 years of age, you will need a consent form signed by a legal guardian. This form should be pre-signed and brought along if the minor will not be accompanied by their legal guardian when picking up their badge. If the minor does not bring a pre-signed form with them, then their legal guardian must sign one at Registration.
- Do you have a MAGFest ID? If you plan on buy or managing badge(s) for Super MAGFest, MAGWest, or any other MAGFest events, you will need a MAGFest ID. Your MAGFest ID will be used for all future MAGFest events. – More information about MAGFest ID
- Pre-register! Pre-registration saves you money over the at-door price (if available), and ensures you have a badge in case we sell out. As of Super 2027, the event has sold out for three years in a row. Pre-registered badges are good for all four days of the event.
- If you plan to stay overnight, check out our hotel booking information.
At the Festival:
- Your badge can be picked up at the MAGFest registration desk when you arrive at the venue. Please make sure to bring photo ID. If you didn’t pre-register, you can still buy a badge at the festival.
- Events at MAGFest are going on every hour of every day, and your badge grants you access to all of them. Consult the maps and schedule, do whatever you want, and have the time of your life! Oh, and try to get some water, food, and sleep along the way.
