Pre-registration ends August 2.
Supporting memberships are available on-line through August 12, 2015.
Attending memberships will be available at the convention. See At-con Rates.

Welcome to the Worldcon in 2015, also known as "Sasquan".  

You may use the online form on this page to register for Sasquan. Or you can download our paper (PDF) membership form and mail that in with a check (or credit card info). For registration in other currencies, please used these alternate forms for Australiandollar, Canadian dollar, Euro, Japanese Yen, or British pound registrations. Please make checks payable to "Sasquan".

By registering for Sasquan, you will become a member of the World Science Fiction Society and will be entitled to vote in the 2015 Hugo Awards that Sasquan will be administering. You can also vote in site selection for the Worldcon in 2017. So we refer to attendance as "membership", not "tickets" or "passes". We welcome participation of all members in the planning and activities of the convention.

We offer discounts for young adult and child memberships, and also for families. A discount for active serving military will also be offered, reflecting the difficulty these have to plan around their duties.

Online Registration Form

Spelling is important!

Please double-check the information you are sending before you click the Submit button. If your name or address are misspelled, this could cause difficulty in sending publications and/or your picking up a badge at the convention. If your email address is incorrect, we will not be able to send communications or validate messages you send to us. Our Registration department will attempt to correct obvious errors, though this involves guessing, and extra work for busy volunteers. Thanks!

Accuracy and Privacy

Conventions are about people coming together for a common purpose, and it is the tradition of Worldcons to list member names in publications, and in recent decades, on websites. This way people let their friends know they are coming, authors let their fans know, and so on.

Please let us know if we have misspelled your name or alphabetized it incorrectly. Names are complicated in some cultures, and data entry is sometimes hasty, especially from paper forms. The purpose of the member name list, just like convention name badges, is to let people know who you are, so it's important to us that we list you correctly.

You may use a "badge name" on this list. The purpose of listing names is to identify people, so we recommend that, if you wish to use a badge name, you use a name that people will recognize, such as an author's pen name or a fan's fannish name.

For reasons of privacy, profession, and (in rare cases) safety, some people prefer that it not be publicly known that they will be at a certain place on certain dates. If this is your preference, please be sure to uncheck the box above for "Show name in membership list". If we are showing your name and you would prefer us to remove it, please let us know.

Membership Transfers

Memberships may be transferred to other persons. Simply notify our registration team and give us contact information for the person the membership is being transferred to. We can not offer direct refunds. In the past people have used social media, including the convention Facebook page, to sell memberships, especially at the early lower rates to newer members. Likewise, other reservation fees [art show panels, dealer tables, etc.] will not be refunded, but may be transferred with the approval of the departmental manager. Contact Registration to transfer a membereship. Be sure to send it from the email address of the member already registered, and be sure to include that person's name and landmail address.

Nations, States, Provinces, and Regions

To reduce scrolling, the largest nations are sorted at the beginning of the list, followed by a list of nations sorted alphabetically. The (currently seven) nations are those where we expect at least 1% of the convention membership to come from. For these nations, the major administrative regions (for example, states in the US) will be a selection list; for other nations, the region field will be simply a text field that the member may enter directly.

The list of nations by default lists only the 153 largest nations in the world. If you click the "show all nations" checkbox, another 44 tiny nations (under one million population, and a handful of places less likely to send members as their citizens are restricted from entry into the United States) will appear in the selection list. ISO codes notwithstanding, territories which are controlled by other nations will be listed as regions, not as nations.

Again to reduce scrolling, for the seven nations we expect to have 1% or more of our membership from, only major regions are listed by default. To show all associated subnational territories, click the "show all territories" checkbox.

The region descriptor will change depending on the nation selected, e.g. "states" for the United States, "provinces" for Canada, etc.

Address Details

For APO/FPO/DPO addresses: You know the address format better than we do. :) The "Address" box should include whatever information the postal service needs to find your mailbox. The "City" field will be "APO", "FPO", or "DPO" as appropriate. Click the "Show all territories" checkbox, scroll all the way down to the end of the list under "States", and you will see "AA", "AE", and "AP". Select whatever is appropriate.

For all nonstandard addresses: Note that the Address box is essentially free-form. Please enter whatever is useful to your local postal service. While most of you presumably live in some sort of identifiable municipality, on this form the "City" field is not strictly required, though again, the purpose of registration is so that we know who you are and can send publications to you, so this is probably something you want to include. In the seven countries at the top of the country selection list, the national administrative regions (states, provinces, whatever) should be relatively well defined and presumably you know where you are. (The exception being England, where political geography predates bureaucracy. If you're not sure, select "England (unspecified)".) In other countries, the "Region" field is not required. Again, please use the Address field to tell us whatever your postal service needs to get mail to you.
