The wait is over. Preregistration for DEF CON 34 opens TODAY!

Reminder – the cash route is unchanged: Cash at the door registration (LineCon) will continue in its traditional, vibey fashion (think hacker slumber party). Doors open Thursday, August 6 and the price is $520.

Those who pre-register are guaranteed a human badge, even if we run out. To receive this badge, you must redeem your ticket onsite. The badge entitles one human full access to the DEF CON floor during open hours. Tickets are fully transferrable, so which human gets that access is up to the purchaser.

Pre-reg is open at shop.defcon.org until July 31 at 8:59 PM EDT. After that date registration is LineCon only. If you have any questions or need to make bulk purchases please email us at info@defcon.org.

There are some pricing benefits to early registration, too. Early bookers save money, so don’t procrastinate. August will be here before you know it.

TIcket Pricing:

Early BIrd - $560 ($540 + $20 CC Processing Fee) - Good until May 22 at 8:59pm EDT

Regular - $580 ($560 + $20 CC Processing Fee) - Good from May 23 to July 17 at 8:59pm EDT

Late - $600 ($580 + $20 CC Processing Fee) - Good from July 18 to July 31 at 8:59pm EDT

Ticket Cancellation Fee:
