Packages & General Admission
Two ways to join the 19th Convention — a family package that covers your whole group and supports the event, or a simple general admission pass for each person. Compare both below.
Value or benefits included within convention packages, tickets, or sponsorships may affect the tax-deductible portion of your payment. Donors and sponsors are solely responsible for reviewing IRS regulations, including IRS Publication 526 (Charitable Contributions) and IRS Publication 1771 (Charitable Contributions – Substantiation and Disclosure Requirements).
VPA makes no representations regarding the tax treatment of your contribution and expressly disclaims all responsibility and liability for donor tax reporting. Contact a qualified tax professional to evaluate your deduction eligibility.
Each package covers convention registrations for adults and children (ages 5–12) and, from Silver up, hotel rooms — a better value than buying passes one by one.

Most families choose a package For not much more than individual passes, a package covers your whole family, can include your hotel stay, and makes you part of bringing the convention to life — with reserved seating, Donor Wall recognition and a tax-deductible contribution. General admission is best only if you’re attending on your own.
Pick your package or general admission on the registration form, add your registrants and upload payment proof.
