  • Student Registration: Phoenix Rising recognizes that, while most college or graduate students are finished with the school year by the third week of May, most high school students are not. To accommodate high school students who may not be able to miss class, Phoenix Rising has created a student registration. To be eligible for a student registration, the registrant must be a high school student or the international equivalent as of May 17, 2007, or the chaperone of a qualified student. Student registrations are valid beginning at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, May 18 and ending at 11:59 p.m. on Sunday, May 20. Neither college nor graduate students are eligible for student registrations. A student registration includes the following:
    • Admission to all Academic and Exploratory Programming of Phoenix Rising that takes place during the student registration period;
    • Admission to all Events and Lagniappe of Phoenix Rising that take place during the student registration period;
    • The opportunity to purchase tickets for the Special Events and Keynote Presentations; and
    • A t-shirt available only to conference attendees.
    Cost:
      $100, regardless of when the registration is purchased.
  • One-Day Registration: One-day registrations may be purchased for Friday, Saturday or Sunday. A one-day registration includes the following:
    • Admission to all Academic and Exploratory Programming of Phoenix Rising that takes place during that day;
    • Admission to all Events and Lagniappe of Phoenix Rising that take place during that day;
    • The opportunity to purchase tickets for the Keynote Presentations and Special Events that occur during that day; and
    • A t-shirt available only to conference attendees, subject to availability.
    Cost:
      $60 for any individual day. One-day registrations are only available for Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

  • Vendor Registration: Any merchant purchasing a vendor table for Phoenix Rising will receive one full registration as part of that purchase. Registrations for additional vendor staff must be purchased separately and at the full price.

Special Event and Keynote Presentation Tickets

Storyville, playing in the Borders Riverside Quidditch Classic, and the Keynote Presentations each require a ticket separate from a conference registration. While registration for the Borders Riverside Quidditch Classic is now closed, anyone may purchase one or more tickets to Storyville and our Keynote Presentations, regardless of conference registration status. A limited number of tickets to these events will be available in New Orleans on a first-come, first-served basis, beginning at 12:00 noon on May 17, 2007, on the fifth floor of the Sheraton New Orleans Hotel.

Additionally, Phoenix Rising is pleased to announce that we are able to make tickets to our Masquerade Ball available to non-attendees. (All attendees will receive a Masquerade Ball wristband in their registration packets; the Ball is included with Full, Student and Sunday registrations.) The price of each Masquerade Ball ticket is $10, and tickets will be on sale starting at 12:00 noon on May 17, 2007, on the fifth floor of the Sheraton New Orleans.

Anyone using a ticket must be at least 14 years old as of May 17, 2007.

Transferring Your Registration or Tickets

Attendees and ticket holders are welcome to transfer registrations and tickets to others. Registrations and tickets may be transferred separately or together. Please feel free to use our message boards in your attempt to find a buyer. Once you have a buyer, please contact us at registration@thephoenixrises.org. Phoenix Rising will not participate in, or be responsible for, the transfer process.

Because our online system is already closed, if you wish to transfer your registration, you must sign and notarize the form below, and mail it to your transferee. Then the transferee must present this completed form, along with a photo ID, at the Phoenix Rising registration desk. The Phoenix Rising staff will then release the transferor’s registration packet to the transferee, which will allow the transferee to attend the conference instead of the transferor.

Age Restrictions

Phoenix Rising's programming, events and lagniappe are intended primarily for adults. Anyone who is at least 18 years old as of May 17, 2007, may register or purchase a ticket. Anyone who is 14-17 years old as of May 17, 2007, may register or purchase a ticket, provided that they are accompanied by an adult: either a parent or a legal guardian, or a chaperone who is at least 21 years old as of May 17, 2007. Accompanying parents, legal guardians and chaperones must register for Phoenix Rising, and are eligible for the student rate if the minor they are accompanying has a student registration. Registrations and ticket purchases for minors will require entering the booking code of the accompanying adult, so adults should register first. Anyone attending any Phoenix Rising event, including separately ticketed events, must be at least 14 years old as of May 17, 2007.

Anyone under 18 who is attending Phoenix Rising with a chaperone must have a parental permission slip on file with us. These permission slips may be mailed to us, or presented at the check-in desk on site. The permission slips do require notarization. Minors attending with parents or legal guardians do not need a permission slip.
