03/05/13 - Khaos Charity Initiative

 Khaos Charity Initiative


There comes a time when members of this great community come together to lend a hand to those most in need. With this in mind, we’ve initiated the Khaos Charity Gift Baskets program. After reaching out to several local companies in our community we’ve been able to gather enough cool stuff to create 3 unique baskets filled with treasures donated by our sponsors below. Each will be raffled off at Khaotic Kon (May 3-5, 2013 at the Sheraton Tampa East Hotel) with all proceeds donated to charity. We’d like to thank each sponsor for doing their part and hope that all who attend will do theirs to help those in need. Thank you!

12/19/12 - V.K.P. Pass!

V.K.P. Passes

It's that time of the year again! Time to announce the benefits of becoming a VKP (Very Khaotic Person) pass holder!

Early Entry to Events:
As many of you may know, VKP pass members have the added benefit of entering all special and main events several minutes before any other pass holder. This guarantees choice seating at all and a far shorter line! ( THIS INCLUDES RAVES AND DANCES)

Khaotic VKP Lounge:
Besides having the opportunity to enter events sooner, we also offer special entry to our Khaotic VKP Lounge. It's a location removed from the convention where one can take a load off for a few minutes while enjoying some of our delicious snacks.

Early Check in:
We all hate waiting in line, so why not come by early? Khaotic Kon offers early Thursday night pass pick-up!

Guest-line Fast Pass:
Get to the front of the line and get your items signed before the rest of your friends!

Guest Panels:
This year we are initiating exclusive VKP Guest Panels! These panels are designed and created just for our VKP members, meaning only those who buy this special pass will be allowed to attend these panels.

Q: Why is that important?
A:

  • Smaller panel sizes

  • More opportunities to ask questions without being lost in a sea of raised hands

  • Having a more intimate experience with your favorite voice actors/actresses

  • Better seating with better views

    

VKP Passes tend to go extremely fast given their limited quantity, so be sure to pick yours up today. Perhaps as a Early Holiday present?hmm?  

12/17/12 - Caitlin Glass
