Greetings <<First Name>> !
We're pleased to announce OctoberFFist 2024. The event will take place at the Metropolis Resort in Augusta, Georgia, October 3rd to 5th. This is usually our largest event of the year. You can expect over 250 attendees from around the world. That is up too 500 fists in one place.
Pass sales for OctoberFFist event will open on Saturday, July 27th at Noon (EDT). We've chosen a day of the week on which to open sales that we think may be more convenient for the bulk of our attendees.
As with the past events the resort will
NOT be taking phone room reservations. The Eventbrite order form will contain the following question: "Would you like to request a room at the Metropolis Resort?" We will create a list of pass purchasers, in the order pass purchases were made, and where a room has been requested. During the following week(s) the resort will reach out via
email to confirm with those who successfully snagged a room that a room is still desired. The purchaser will be asked to call the resort front desk to guarantee their room with a credit card. The order form won't ask for a room preference this time around. You'll request a room type at the time the resort reaches out to you, based on availability.
As with prior events, you'll start the registration process on the
Fist Fest website. After agreeing to the waiver of liability you'll be passed on to Eventbrite to complete the actual purchase. We have made a change to the order form. You'll notice that only one pass can now be purchased at a time. Obviously, if there are two sharing a room, only the first order would need to request a room. Then you'd place a second order. To clarify, the order will ask for the purchaser information and then ask for the participant's name.
Keep in mind that the demand for rooms FAR exceeds the number of rooms available. Based upon prior events, the rooms will sell out in minutes. After that, the resort will treat the remaining requests as a wait list. We highly recommend people room together to make as many fists available as possible. Don't let lack of rooms deter you. We have many attendees that stay off-site and still have plenty of FFun. Most of the off-site hotels have generous cancellation policies. An off-site reservation that can be cancelled at the last minute allows you to stay on resort's the wait list till the last minute. If a room then becomes available, you can cancel your off-site reservation.
We recommend you create accounts ahead of time on both
Fist Fest and
Eventbright pages. Then login into both the day of registration. This will speed up your checkout process.
