Registration and Cancellation
Last Updated: November 17, 2025
This Registration Policy governs all ticket purchases and event registrations for Baldie Con 2026 (September 24–27, 2026 – Thursday through Sunday) and future Baldie Con events.
Baldie Con offers two ticket types: Full Access Pass (all 4 days) and Individual Day Tickets (single day access). This policy applies to both ticket types unless otherwise specified.
By completing your registration or purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this policy.
1. No Refunds Policy
All Baldie Con event registrations and ticket purchases are final and non-refundable, regardless of ticket type. Once your registration is complete and payment is processed, we are unable to offer refunds for any reason, including but not limited to:
- Personal emergencies or illness
- Travel disruptions (flight cancellations, weather delays, etc.)
- Schedule conflicts or change of plans
- Force majeure events (natural disasters, pandemics, government orders)
- Dissatisfaction with event content or programming
Why No Refunds?
As a self-funded nonprofit organization, all registration fees are immediately allocated to essential event expenses including venue deposits, hotel commitments, catering contracts, speaker fees, materials, and logistics. These commitments are made months in advance based on registration numbers and are non-recoverable once paid.
2. Ticket Transfers – Fully Allowed
While we cannot offer refunds, all Baldie Con tickets and registrations are 100% transferable at any time before the event, at no additional charge.
How to Transfer Your Registration:
- Find Your Replacement — Locate someone who would like to attend in your place.
- Notify Us — Email moc.noceidlab@ofni with subject line "Ticket Transfer Request" and include: your full name and order number; the new attendee's full name, email, and phone; and confirmation that the new attendee agrees to all Baldie Con policies.
- Processing Time — Transfers are typically processed within 2–3 business days.
- Confirmation — Both parties receive email confirmation with updated registration details.
Transfer Deadline: Transfers must be completed by September 17, 2026 (one week before the event).
No Transfer Fees: Baldie Con does not charge fees for ticket transfers. Any financial arrangements for resales are between you and the new attendee.
3. Reselling Your Ticket
You are welcome to resell your ticket to recover your costs. We recommend posting in these places where demand is typically high:
- Baldie Con's official social media pages (Instagram: @baldiecon, Facebook, TikTok)
- Hair loss support groups (online communities and local Atlanta groups)
- Your personal social media channels
- Community bulletin boards and forums
Baldie Con typically sells out, so there is often high demand for transferred tickets — especially closer to the event date. Once you find a buyer, follow the transfer process in Section 2.
4. What Happens If You Cannot Attend?
We understand that life happens. Here are your options:
Option 1: Transfer to Another Person
Follow the transfer process above to pass your registration to a friend, family member, or community member.
Option 2: Donate Your Registration
Contact us at moc.noceidlab@ofni with subject line "Ticket Donation" to help match your ticket with someone in need.
Option 3: No Action Taken
If you do not transfer your ticket and do not attend, your registration fee will be considered a donation to Baldie Con Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, which may be tax-deductible. Please consult your tax advisor.
5. Event Cancellation or Postponement by Baldie Con
Baldie Con will proceed as scheduled except in cases of extreme circumstances that make it impossible to hold the event safely (such as venue closure, natural disasters, or government mandates).
If Baldie Con Cancels the Event:
- First: Full credit toward the next Baldie Con event
- Second: Partial refund after deducting non-recoverable expenses
If Baldie Con Reschedules:
Your ticket will automatically be valid for the rescheduled event. If you cannot attend the new date, standard ticket transfer policies apply.
Individual Travel Disruptions:
Individual travel disruptions do not qualify for refunds, even if caused by weather or other circumstances. However, your ticket remains fully transferable.
6. Medical Emergencies & Hardship Cases
We deeply empathize with medical emergencies, family crises, and unexpected hardships. However, as a small nonprofit with non-recoverable commitments, we are unable to issue refunds even with documentation.
Your options remain: transfer your ticket, resell it, or donate it. We are happy to help facilitate in difficult circumstances — please contact us at moc.noceidlab@ofni.

If you prefer not to be photographed or recorded, notify event staff before or upon arrival and avoid areas where filming and photography are taking place. While we will make reasonable efforts to accommodate your request, we cannot guarantee exclusion from wide-angle shots or general event coverage.
