PulpFest 2017 will stop accepting advance registrations tonight at 10 PM. We will be shutting down our Paypal Order page at that time. A full-weekend advance membership to PulpFest will cost you $35 — if staying at our host hotel — and $40 if staying elsewhere. If you’d like to take part in our early-bird shopping in the dealers’ room from 6 to 10 PM on Thursday, August 27, there’s an additional cost of $30. However, if you will be staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Pittsburgh – Cranberry during the convention, you will get free early-bird shopping, saving that extra thirty bucks. We do this to thank loyal attendees who help to defray the convention’s costs by staying at our host hotel.
Early registration for our members will take place on Thursday, July 27, beginning at 5 PM at the entrance to our dealers’ room in the DoubleTree. All members, dealers included, can pick up their registration packets at this time. To help things move smoothly, please bring along a completed registration form. You can download a copy by clicking here.
For those of you who prefer not to register in advance for PulpFest, you will be able to do so on Thursday evening. Our full weekend memberships will be available at the door, with early-bird shopping costing an additional $30 for those members not staying at the DoubleTree. Single day memberships — costing $20 for Friday or Saturday — will also be available. A Sunday single day membership will cost $10, the price of THE PULPSTER. Please click our Register for 2017 button for further details.
Members will also be able to register for the convention on Friday morning — beginning at 9 PM — and at any time during regular dealers’ room hours. Your membership allows entry to all convention activities, including our evening programming. PulpFest badges are required to attend all activities. Children, accompanied by a parent, who are fifteen and younger will be admitted free of charge. So bring your family! The general public is very much welcome to attend.
(Designed by PulpFest’s artistic director, William Lampkin, our PulpFest 2017 post card features the work of artist John Newton Howitt. His painting was originally used as the cover for the April 15, 1934 number of Popular Publications’ DIME DETECTIVE MAGAZINE.
Please remember that if you’re not from the Pittsburgh area, don’t forget to book a room at the DoubleTree. Call 1-800-222-8733 and be sure to mention PulpFest in order to receive any convention special deals that may still be available.)
