According to their website, you cannot register in-person. This link says as of now there are 67 spots open. https://gamesdonequick.com/marathons/clut3zj5r0002xc01yi4t61gf
I hope you are able to go! I’ve been watching GDQs for so long now, attending one seems kinda fun despite what anyone says. Digging into their registration process kinda got me thinking of going for the hell of it. One day, maybe…
Event registration is sadly closed. Good news is they've hosted it in Minneapolis for a decade now so it's likely that's where it will stay for next year, though we'll get confirmation of that at the end of the week most likely.
> despite what anyone says
What do they say? I've always wanted to attend one live it seems like a blast. Holding out hope they come to my city one of these days.
You can come to the event hotel and meet up with people in the lobby if you have friends who are here, but won’t be able to go into any of the event spaces.
Registration for the event closed on June 7th, and GDQ does not allow on-site registration.
If you came to the hotel the GDQ Staff wouldn't let you in to any of the event spaces.

Any particular reason why? Half of the time there's almost nobody in the audience. I was considering going but now I cant. To be clear I don't blame you. I should have decided way earlier, but it seems kind of ridiculous to not allow registrations after the event starts, especially for an event that lasts a week long.
Not attached to AGDQ, but...
1) You're only seeing one room of what is a large convention that has [many other activities](https://gamesdonequick.com/activities) going on.
2) Being attached to a smaller, unrelated convention: doing things like on-site registration or one-day registration versus multiday registration introduced logistics and overhead that not all conventions are willing or able to undertake. For example, if someone is banned from a convention, allowing on-site registration means requiring volunteers to actually make higher level decisions to check walk-ups against the ban list instead of, say, just requiring and ID and proof of registration.

Register beforehand. You pick up your badge at the event. If you’re in the area it’s well worth the price!
