We recommend arriving by the evening of Friday, October 23, since we’ll get a bright and early start on Saturday. Your ticket confirmation will include discount information about rooms at Ace Hotel Brooklyn, and we also recommend Sela V, Nu Hotel, or other options within reasonable proximity to Industry City, where the event will be held.

We are committed to making RomCon accessible to all guests. When you purchase your ticket, we’ll ask about your accessibility accommodation requests, and from there, we’ll share relevant information directly. If your needs change before the event, you can email us at romcon@831stories.com to let us know.

Lunch and light refreshments (with accommodations for dietary restrictions) are included with your RomCon ticket. Industry City is also home to many food vendors in close proximity to the event space should you want to access dining options before or after the event.

Ticketholders will be contacted with more information about author signings in the lead-up to the event. VIP ticketholders will be granted priority access.

Though we hope to make everyone’s RomCon dreams come true, speakers are subject to change or cancellation without notice, and due to time and space constraints, not all attendees will be able to have their books signed by every author.

Tickets are non-refundable, but you can visit our Room 831 Substack chat to find others interested in attending and potentially resell your ticket. Note that these transactions will be independent of 831 Stories and at your own discretion. Any resale tickets will need to be manually updated with the new attendee’s information; email us at romcon@831stories.com to get it sorted.

You are welcome to come and go as you please, but we are only able to accommodate ticket sales for the full day.

Only books and merchandise are available for purchase. The rest of the experience—including coffee, pastries, snacks, lunch, and beverages are included in the cost of your ticket. 
Please note: RomCon is a cashless event; purchases can be made by card or Apple Pay.
