When is vendor load in?
Vendor load-in is scheduled for Friday, August 21st, from 10:00 AM to 4:30 PM. To make setup as easy as possible, both the side doors and roll-up doors will be open for quick access to your booth space.
All vendors must check in at registration (Friday) for badges!
All vendors must be fully set up on Friday, or at minimum have all equipment and materials dropped off at their booth space for final setup Saturday morning before the show opens.
Please note: roll-up doors and side doors will not be open on convention day, as maintaining air conditioning inside the venue is a top priority.
All booths and products must keep with the theme of the horror convention! Please decorate and make it fun!
Attention Ghoul Army Participants:
When you check in on Friday, make sure to ask for your GHOUL ARMY sign! PLEASE make sure to clearly label prizes with your company name and booth number, so our announcer can give you credit!
Can I order electricity to my booth?
Yes. A standard 120 Volt, 20 Amp electric hook up is $84.50 (inclusive) when preordered for the duration of the event. (Pre-orders have ended. Please contact Gina direct if you need to purchase power on event day. Cost is $125.00 on site.)
How many vendor badges do I get?
All booths receive (2) vendor badges.
Can I bring a tent frame?
Yes, but you cannot use the tent cover. Side panels are ok. Your frame CANNOT be larger than your booth space or you will be asked to remove it immediately. Please be respectful of your vendor neighbors!
What if I need more vendor badges?
If you have additional crew members working your booth, you can purchase day passes at vendor registration at 50% off our advertised pricing! This discount is for booth staff only - not friends and family.
What time can vendors access the convention hall on Saturday morning before the show begins?
Vendors will have access to the convention floor beginning at 8:00 AM on Saturday morning. All vendors must be fully set up and ready to accept payments no later than 10:45 AM — no exceptions.
Please note that side doors and roll-up doors will not be open on convention day. Additionally, registration doors cannot be propped open for rolling carts or equipment, so please plan accordingly when bringing in any remaining items Saturday morning.
Do I need to charge sales tax ?
Yes. The Arizona Department of Revenue has combined the city and sales tax collection and licensing for Arizona. The link to the Arizona Department of Revenue (ADOR) website where vendors can register and obtain a Sales Tax (TPT) License is: www.aztaxes.gov. ** The City of Mesa region code “ME”. You'll need that info. The fee to complete this step is $20. All vendors must have their TPT number visible at their booth.
