Dealers Den Payment!

To pay for your table, please make a bank transfer, by following the instructions in the registration system at https://reg.confuzzled.org.uk

(If you are unable to pay by bank transfer, please contact payment support by emailing both registration@confuzzled.org.uk and dealersden@confuzzled.org.uk for assistance)

There are two paths that might apply to you:

ALREADY PAID FOR REG – NOW NEED TO PAY FOR TABLE

In this scenario, simply:

  • Log in to registration
  • Head to the payment screen
  • Note the reference code, and amount due
  • Make payment using the bank details shown – a code will be shown to you that you should use as the reference number for payment from your online bank.
  • Once paid, please contact dealersden@confuzzled.org.uk by email to advise us you have made a payment.

Please be patient whilst you await confirmation – payment processing on our side is done in batches by volunteers, and it may take a little while before you hear back.

If there is no reference code or amount due shown, please contact dealersden@confuzzled.org.uk for assistance.

PAYING FOR REG AND DEN IN ONE GO

The process is identical to the above, but you’ll just be making one lump payment for both your registration fee, and dealers table. The only difference is:

Again, please be patient while waiting for your payment confirmation – it can take time for these to be processed by our volunteer team.

Dealers Assistants

I want to have an assistant, how do I organise that?

Dealers Assistant badges are only given to Registered Attendees of the Convention and are allocated to a specific individual that you will be required to name in your Dealers’ Den Registration. This means you must enter the name and badge number of your assistant/s in the appropriate place in the Dealers’ Den Registration Form which will be accessible a few weeks after the non-residential registration opens. If you fail to complete this step, you will not be allocated an Assistant Badge.

I am an Assistant for a confirmed Dealer, can I sell my stuff on their table?

If you wish to sell any merchandise of your own, you must apply to be a Dealer, followed by arranging a table share through the Dealer Registration Process. (Please know that both yourself and the dealer you wish to share with must have the table share section completed.)

 

Deadlines

Dealers’ Den Registration

Due to increased demand, the registration period has closed as of the 30th October 2023. This was ahead of the originally planned deadline of the end of February 2024. We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience this sudden change has caused.

Neighbour changes

We try to allocate Dealers next to each other when requested by both parties before the first allocation deadline of the 23rd of February 2024, however, if you wish to make a change thereafter, please contact us! 

Please note that we cannot guarantee changes after the above deadline.

Dealer Table Share

Whilst Dealer registration is open, you will be able to request and change a current table share. Once registration has closed, there is no way to make any further changes, so please make sure any changes are made by the 23rd of February 2024.

Special Requests for Tables

We are happy to accommodate special requests for table layouts and displays, but you need to make sure you get these requests in by the 1st of February 2024 (the sooner the better). This is because we must do an in-depth risk assessment for the Den and submit it to the hotel. Once this has been submitted there can be no substitutions or changes made. You can contact us if you have any questions regarding this.

Please note that ConFuzzled reserves the right to decline any request. There are limitations these include, but are not limited to:

  • The dimensions of the table(s) space offered by ConFuzzled.
  • Displays, Stands, Booths and other structures higher than 2.5m in total height from the floor.
  • Not encroaching onto other Dealers’ space.
  • Maintaining safe access to walkways.
  • Keeping emergency exits clear and unobstructed.
