FAQ
Can I buy tickets at the door?
Yes! You can purchase a ticket at the show (CASH ONLY) and a wristband will be provided to you.
Cancellation Policy
Tickets purchased for any Recon1 show are non-refundable and non-transferable.
Are kids allowed to attend?
Yes, children under 18 are admitted free with a paid adult. Please keep in mind you must be at least 18 years of age to purchase a knife. This includes entering lotteries. If an individual under 18 is drawn, the drawing cannot be transferred, and the maker must draw another name.
I purchased my tickets online. Will I receive my wristband(s) in the mail?
No. Your email confirmation of your order is all you need. Once you arrive to the show, head over to the registration desk in front of the show ballroom and provide a copy of the order confirmation (either paper or on a mobile device) and a form of ID and your wristband(s) will be given then.
When can I pick up my wristband?
For those that purchased tickets online through our website, wristbands can be picked up starting Friday evening at 9pm until 11:00pm, or on Saturday at 7:00am at the registration desk in front of the show ballroom. Wristbands can also be purchased (CASH ONLY) at these times as well.
What happens if I lose my wristband?
Wristbands are not replaceable under any circumstances. If your wristband is lost, stolen, or damaged beyond recognition, then you must purchase a new wristband to enter the show.
What hotels do you recommend?
We recommend you stay at the hotel that the show is being held at not only for the discounted room block rate, but also the convenience of being close to the show.
I purchased multiple tickets. Do I need individual names on each ticket?
You do NOT need individual names on each ticket. As long as you have a paid ticket for each person attending, you can provide a copy of the ticket purchase order in exchange for a wristband(s) onsite at the registration desk in front of the show’s ballroom. The wristband will allow you in and out access throughout the duration of the show.
Do you offer Law Enforcement / Military / First Responders discounts on tickets?
We offer a discount for our general admission ticket only. Please contact tamar@recon1.com to request a discount code for Law Enforcement / Military / First Responders.
Am I allowed to bring a knife into the show?
You may bring one knife in as an EDC as long as that knife is concealed. You may bring other knives into the show for the exclusive purpose of showing them to an Exhibitor. These knives must be carried in a bag and kept under your supervision. Recon 1 is not responsible for any lost/stolen knives and gear.
What is brown bagging?
If an individual attending any Recon 1 shows is caught selling product and is not a paid Exhibitor, he/she will be immediately removed from the show and will be permanently banned from attending. This includes the general hotel area (including parking lots) where the shows are being held.
Can I bring a firearm to the show?
Firearms are prohibited at all Recon 1 events, including the general hotel area where the shows are being held. Under no circumstances will guns be allowed on premises regardless if you have a CCW permit.
