How It Works
The Maid Cafe is a ticketed event; Pre-purchase your tickets online or purchase a ticket on-site (subject to availability). Tickets can be purchased for either Friday or Saturday and includes one hour in the Cafe, one entree, and one beverage per person. Party size is limited to 8 people and smaller parties will be sat together to maximize seating in the Cafe.
Once inside, Patrons will be greeted by one of our adorable furry Maids.
Purchase Tickets
The Maid Cafe tickets are available for $35 each on the registration kiosk. Note that some higher registration tiers come with maid cafe tickets. To add tickets during a new registration, you will be able to add tickets for an available day/time slot on the step after choosing your membership level. To purchase additional maid cafe tickets after you have already completed registration, you can log back in to the registration kiosk and click “edit registration” to get to the additional items screen.
Tickets pre-purchased will be available for pick up at various locations including con stores once you have picked up your badge from registration. The Maid Cafe tickets are individual physical tickets that can be used once by whoever has them, so you can gift them to friends.
