Q.Where do I get tickets?

Check out our store at the link below to buy all of your fabulous PonyCon goodness!

Q. What the heck is the goodie bag thing all about?

A. Well, seeing as though this is PonyCon’s biggest year to date what with it being our 10th anniversary and 30 years of the My Little Pony line, we thought we would offer you lovely lot some exclusive PonyCon Anniversary goodie bags (worth £15!) for the first 100 people to either buy a Stall or a Weekend pass!

Q. AWESOME! I want one! But what do we get inside it? (If you don’t want to know, skip to the next question!)

A. Inside each goodie bag you will get an exclusive PonyCon T-shirt designed by the super talented Tinrobo, an exclusive poster, PonyCon badge, Postcards, Keyring and a pony item of some form ... well, we have to leave a little mystery to the bags now don’t we?! Also, the bag itself is a printed cotton tote bag that Tinrobo is also designing! Perfect as your weekend pony shopping bag!

Q. Really?! All of that is included in our ticket price?! Cool! What tickets aren’t included with this offer?

A. The goodie bag offer is only available with the Adult Weekend Pass and the 1 Day Stall Holder Pass and Weekend Stall Holder Pass. NO OTHER TICKETS.

Q. That’s all very well and good, but can I choose my size of T-shirt that I get?

A. Yes you can! We’re not doing any of that “one size fits all” rubbish as, as we all know, we all like our Tshirts fitting differently! So, when you go to either the listing for the Adult Weekend Pass, 1 Day Stall or the Weekend Stall Holder ticket, you’ll see underneath there is a drop down menu to not only choose the size of your T-Shirt, but also the gender. We have also included an handy size chart for you on each listing, but because I’m nice, here’s a version of it:



Q. What size are the stalls?

A. They are 6 foot wide by 2 foot deep. Plenty of lovely pony space!

Q. My child is going to be 5 or under when the con is, do I need to buy a child ticket for them?

A. NOPE! Any child 5 or under goes FREE to the convention all weekend!

Q. OK, Well, my child will be 12 when the convention is on, do they qualify for a Child or Adult ticket?

A. Don’t fret! If they are 12 or under (but above 5) They qualify for a £10 child ticket! 13 and above is our adult ticket.

Q. What do I get for my weekend pass?

A. Your weekend pass covers your entry into EVERTHING PonyCon, all panels, screenings, games, events you name it, you can come to it! Please check our website and forum for a constantly updated schedule!

Q. How many stalls will be available?

A. We have 45 Weekend Stalls available and 10 1 Day Stalls on each day. this isn't including the stalls from our sponsors My Little Customs, Mare Play and of course all of the UK PonyCon stalls too so you have even MORE to look forward to! Links to their websites below:

www.mylittlecustoms.com
www.mareplay.co.uk

Q. Can I have a stall on both days? Is there a discount for buying a stall both days?

A. Yes you can and yes there is! A 1 Day stall with Weekend Ticket is £40 and a Weekend Stall with Weekend Ticket is £50, so that is a massive £30 SAVING if you buy a weekend ticket rather than buying two separate stall tickets!

Q. Can I buy tickets on the door? Can we do that both days?

A. Absolutely! All tickets are also available to buy on the door apart from Stall Helper Ticket the Weekend Stall Ticket and 1 Day Stall Ticket BOTH SATURDAY AND SUNDAY which need to be bought in advance via our webstore. All others are available to purchase on the door.

Q. Will there be a 'members day' and a 'main day'? Are the ticket prices the same for both days?

A. This year we are NOT holding a members day, instead, seeing as though it is such a big year for us, we are extending the party to a FULL weekend! 2 full days of Pony Goodness! As for ticket prices, they are absolutely the same for both days no matter which day you want to come, we do also have a great value weekend ticket for everyone who is coming to both days! there is NO main day for this event, each day is equal this year!

Q. Does my stall price include an adult entry fee?

A. YES IT DOES! All stall prices include an adult WEEKEND pass for the stall holder! As a stall holder you also have the option to purchase a discounted "Stall Helper" ticket if you have someone who wants to give you a hand on your stall for the weekend. They are also a Weekend Pass and they are £18 instead of £25 for helpers. Only 1 discounted helper ticket per stall.

Q. I want to attend both days but only have a stall 1 day - which ticket do I buy?

A. The 1 Day Stall ticket would be perfect for you as it gives you a stall for the day of your choice (either Saturday or Sunday, please specify when booking!) but in that price it also includes a Weekend Ticket. PERFECT!

Q. I am disabled and have a carer to assist me - can they have a free ticket?

A. Of course! If this is the case, please email us at [e-mail] with your request and we shall sort it out for you!

Q. I want a friend/family member to help me on the stall but they are not interested in ponies - do they have to buy a ticket?

A. Yes they do, but this is why we have created our discounted "Stall Helper" tickets! They are £18 instead of £25 for the weekend and can be added to your stall purchase on checkout. PLEASE NOTE: The "Stall Helper" tickets are NOT available to purchase on the door.

Q. How will I receive my tickets? Will they be sent to me?

A. Once you have checked out through our online store you will be sent and email with a confirmation number, keep a hold of this email/print it out and bring it along with you. As long as we have your surname and your order number we will have your ticket ready and waiting for you on the door


Q. This is all well and good, but I have another question, can you help?

A. Have no fear, any other questions please either pop them into the comment section down below, PM them to our lovely chairlady Archer or contact us in any of the ways that are listed below, and we will do our very best to help!

So, the BIG question is, WHO’S READY FOR PONYCON?!

Love the UK PonyCon 2013 Committee xxx

[savetheponies]

What size are the stalls/tables? thanks

[Dusky]

Okay! Rambly questions:

-I may well be sharing my stall, because the person helping me run it would like to bring some of her own ponies to sell, is this okay? She has already bought a two-day ticket for herself (I think).

-I want to import some of the Hot Topic My Little Pony items such as the Funko Vinyl Ponies, keyrings, clips, etc, to sell on. These are all official merchandise, do you mind if I do this?

--Linked to that: TaoBao ponies who are not 'officially' released yet: Yes/No?

--Linked to that again: I've found some hilariously bad, but nicely made 'bootleg' G4 merchandise, do you object if I bring a few pieces with me to sell on or would you rather I brought them as display pieces?

-Complimentary wrapped sweeties for anyone who passes the stall: Yes/No/OMNOMNOMNOM?

-And finally: Most of my handmade items are made from REAL leather, either cow, pig or sheep, all of which is ethically source (etc, etc). Do you have any objections to real leather items being sold on stalls, or any restrictions (I.e. no real fur) that I need to know?


These are all problems I've encountered before so I want to figure this out before I start ordering in more goodies!

[bronycraft]

Oooh, if I can just add a question to Dusky's, my boyfriend is helping me with my stall, and he has the stall helpers ticket, but his little brother is coming as well, and he just has a normal adult ticket - he's only 15, so I don't really want to leave him on his own for an hour whilst we set up 9-10 - would it be okay if he came in with us at 9am? I've already volunteered him for helping, so he'll happily do that xxx

[Archer]

Answertime GO!

-I may well be sharing my stall, because the person helping me run it would like to bring some of her own ponies to sell, is this okay? She has already bought a two-day ticket for herself (I think).

This is fine if she herself already has a ticket

-I want to import some of the Hot Topic My Little Pony items such as the Funko Vinyl Ponies, keyrings, clips, etc, to sell on. These are all official merchandise, do you mind if I do this?

Again we have no issues with you doing this I would like to suggest that if you are ordering things from Hot Topic to make sure to order plenty of derpy things....y'know....to give other people the chance to own them *after I've been to your stall*

--Linked to that: TaoBao ponies who are not 'officially' released yet: Yes/No?

Another yes here

--Linked to that again: I've found some hilariously bad, but nicely made 'bootleg' G4 merchandise, do you object if I bring a few pieces with me to sell on or would you rather I brought them as display pieces?

Again another yes Some people collect fakies and I've often seen stalls selling other gen fakies so no issue with this at all

-Complimentary wrapped sweeties for anyone who passes the stall: Yes/No/OMNOMNOMNOM?

Another yes ^_~ Although I do recommend that they are sweets that members of the committee like lol. As much fun as last years con was I don't want to go another 50 hours on a pack of hula hoops and a biscuit lol.

-And finally: Most of my handmade items are made from REAL leather, either cow, pig or sheep, all of which is ethically source (etc, etc). Do you have any objections to real leather items being sold on stalls, or any restrictions (I.e. no real fur) that I need to know?

This is a hard one. I would say no to the real fur and have a restriction there however I will get back to you with regards to the leather Can I be nosy and ask what you're selling ^_^

bronycraft That is certainly fine I can't see there being an issue although he may be roped into helping us finish setting things up lol ^_~ If you do have any issues on the day just ask someone to grab me and I'll confirm it all for you

[Dusky]

Archer that's fantastic so far, thank you.

This is my main website: clockworkfirebird.com/
The handmade stock I was thinking of bringing was felt ponies, furry tails/ears (pony themed), leather snap-wristlets, possibly some armour/prop cosplay items from the show, and leather chokers that look like the Elements of Harmony.

[bronycraft]

Awesome, thanks Archer! I've already told him he's probably gonna end up helping out in some way, and he's fine with that haha xx

[Sebby6]

I has a question. I already bought weekend passes for Mr Sebby and I and now I might want a stall.
Can has?

[Faith]

Is it likely tickets will sell out if I leave it to purchase them on the day when we get there? Is it even possible for them to sell out or are they unlimited? Sorry for being clueless XD

Sebby6 PM camtheman and just check things with him ^_~ I don't see there being a problem though

[rosedust]

How many adult weekend passes have been sold at this point? I would like to buy one if I qualify for the goodie bag, otherwise, I will just come for the day. ^_^

[rosedust]

Tried to buy a weekend ticket but my card was rejected  (and it is not lack of funds) - will it be possible to buy one on the saturday? Have already booked a room for the night.

[bronycraft]

Hi Rosedust, I *think* all the goodie bag tickets have been sold now, I'm not 100% sure though, I just thought I saw something on the PonyCon Facebook page. One of the ponies from the committee will be able to help you out more about tickets though x

[Neonpossum]

Hi, I need to cancel my ticket and get a refund, I hope you can help me! I have emailed the general contact address.

[pinkkittywinks]

Hopefully Archer will see this post neonpossum
