As the holiday season is in full swing, the folks at Gen Con have released information regarding the preregistration prices for the upcoming show in Indianapolis, August 16-19, 2012! Badge preregistration begins at noon EST on January 29th. It was also recently revealed that Gen Con has entered into agreement to continue to hold the show, in Indy, through 2020.

From Gen Con:

We have three exciting programs for attendees in 2012:

Big news! Due to the increase in general attendance over the past two years, we have decided to open up the VIG Program for a few more eager attendees to experience what it’s like to be a “Very Important Gamer”. The maximum number of VIGs has been raised to 230 individuals with a total of 350 VIG Companions.

If you aren’t already familiar with the VIG Program, benefits include a separate housing block filled with nearby hotel rooms, an onsite VIG Lounge for relaxing and playing games, event ticket purchasing and Will Call in the Lounge, complimentary beverages, VIG-only events for VIGs and their Companions, early access to the Exhibit Hall on opening day, and more!
