Three days and forty open hours
Kumoricon runs 13 to 15 November at the Oregon Convention Center, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd. The registration FAQ prints the convention hours: Friday 8 a.m. to midnight, Saturday 8 a.m. to midnight and Sunday 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Those hours total 40.
The FAQ marks the hours approximate until the schedule is finalised. Registration closes before programming ends each day, and the FAQ prints that line without an hour.
The badge and its price
The last online tier, Ghost Neko, closes on 7 November. A full weekend badge costs $95 for ages 13 and up at that tier and $35 for ages 6 to 12. The door price is $100 and $35. Memberships for ages 5 and under are free.
Single-day badges sell online from 9 p.m. the night before and at the door from 8 a.m. Friday costs $55, Saturday $60 and Sunday $55 for ages 13 and up. Ages 6 to 12 pay $20 on any single day.
Three single days add to $170 against $95 for the weekend tier, a difference of $75. Memberships are non-refundable and cannot be sold.
Badge pickup
In-person pickup runs Thursday 12 November through Sunday 15 November. Each member collects a badge in person. Names no longer print on badges, and staff check the name on a photo ID at pickup.
One member can pay at the door for another, and the desk holds that badge until its owner arrives.
Every attendee needs valid government-issued photo ID. A parent or guardian signs permission for anyone under 18. A parent or guardian stays with anyone under 13 throughout, and that adult needs a paid membership.
From PDX on the Red Line
The venue sits eight miles from Portland International Airport. TriMet's MAX Red Line runs Airport, City Center and Hillsboro, and MAX stops 300 times a day at the venue's front door. Trains run every 15 minutes.
The adult fare is $2.80 for two and a half hours of riding, with a $5.60 daily cap and a $100 monthly cap. Riders aged 7 to 17 pay $1.40 with a $2.80 daily cap. Children 6 and under ride free with a paying passenger. Three convention days on adult day passes come to $16.80.
The garage and its limit
The underground garage charges $15 for up to 18 hours, with no in-and-out privileges, and a dynamic $15 to $25 at entry on event days. The garage opens at 6 a.m., holds 800 spaces and fills first come, first served. The parking booths take cards only.
Three days at the base rate come to $45, and each event day bills the dynamic rate instead.
Nights and what sets the count
The four official blocks closed on 21 October. Published rates run from $185 to $235 a night before tax, and the organiser puts Portland occupancy tax at 16.5 percent.
Two nights run $431.05 at the low rung and $547.55 at the high one, after tax. Three nights run $646.58 and $821.33.
A guest who wants the 8 a.m. Friday opening needs the Thursday night. A guest who lands on Friday morning reaches the hall on MAX and spends one night fewer in the room.
The weekend, day by day
Friday carries $55 at the door as a single day. Sixteen published hours carry $38 of a $95 badge. Saturday runs the same 16 hours and prices $60 as a single day. Sunday closes at 4 p.m. over eight hours, and $19 of the weekend badge covers it.
Two nights at the low rung cost $431.05 after tax, which is $215.53 a night and $143.68 for each of the three convention days. Transit adds $5.60 a day for an adult day pass.
The total
A weekend at the low rung costs $542.85: $95 for the badge, $431.05 for two taxed nights and $16.80 for three day passes. The same weekend at the top rate costs $659.35. Three nights at the low rung reach $758.38, with the badge and transit lines unchanged.
A Portland resident attending all three days pays $95 for the badge, then $45 for garage parking at the base rate or $16.80 for transit. A child badge at $35 takes $60 off the badge line, and the room and transit lines stay where they sit.
