For those going who registered for a boxset or non-boxset full admission pack, FunPub have just emailed out the pickup details, and it shows that there will be a casino night again this year (it might have been in the Brochure, but I musta missed it).
Some details for anyone else interested...

Early Shopping Privileges Thursday from 5:00 pm-5:45 pm
We will have a separate CASH line and a separate CREDIT CARD line for purchases tonight.
Souvenir purchases are by a voucher system. Approved badges for souvenir vouchers are: any Primus, Protoform, or Exhibitor (no Mini-Con or Exhibitor Helper Badge). You will receive a souvenir voucher at package pick-up for this purchase option. This souvenir voucher entitles Golden Ticket Primus Badge holders to a “3 times the Limit” of each of the exclusive 2016 convention souvenirs sold in our Club Store.
This was also worth noting, for anyone needing to contact FunPub during the first two weeks of April - they will be too busy, or in Louisville to be able to respond to emails or phonecalls.
One thing I only just noticed after all these years of the Golden Ticket concept, is that you don't appear to need to be in a Tour or Custom Class to be able to pickup your boxset/package on Wednesday night (Thursday night is the regular night for those without a Class or Tour added). Not that I wouldn't still try to get into a Class or Tour (or both) to make the trip more fulfilling, but it is good to know for next time....We are not able to accept phone calls or retrieve emails between April 1 – April 12, 2016.
Waitasec, there's not going to be a next time?
