Group Discount Policy
Groups of 5 or more people that register together online will receive a 20% discount on their memberships. The discount is applied automatically once the 5th person has been entered on your membership form. To receive the discount, you must all register together in a single session. Completed registrations may not be combined or extended in order to qualify for the discount. Note: this discount does not apply to concert or special event tickets.
Customer Support and Refunds
Your membership fees are fully refundable provided that you have not used them to attend the convention and that you notify PMX Registration by November 20, 2012. Concert and event tickets are in general not refundable, however we reserve the right to make exceptions to this policy at our discretion. There is a limit of one ticket per event per person and tickets are non-transferable.
Concerts and Ticketed Special Events
Concerts and ticketed special events are in addition to your regular membership. Membership is required prior to purchasing tickets.
