The Gen Con Auction Consignment Store Thursday 10 AM EDT (ZED24ND250836) is listed as requiring tickets. However, the rest of the consignment store and auction subject matters and times, although listed, do not require tickets. Is the ticket requirement for Thursday morning correct or is this an error?

An error, no tickets will ever be required for the Auction.  It would basically be impossible to manage such a thing even if desired given the random nature of how long people stay or how many people fit, hah. 

So the request for tickets is not true word hurdle

Thank you for reminding me. I love the auction but only want to stick around for a session or two. Last year, I didn't make it because I scheduled everything else BEFORE I knew there was an auction schedule.

WAIT, the consignment room is only open until 4? It says starts at 9am and runs for hours. I MUST add that to my schedule.

EDITED: Nevermind, I see it is set up as seperate sessions...panick averted...

For things like this, they put them in the event catalog just so people can see it as something they can go do.

A similar "event" is listed for Orc Stomp Packet Pickup - just a way for people to know when and where they can get their t-shirts and numbers, I guess.
