You can’t have enough pre-sales!
TL;DR: For 38C3 you have again the possibility to avoid long queues at the congress shirt queue by buying now. We are again organizing the merch presale as a Termingeschäft so the merchandise must be picked up at the event in the CCH by December 28, 10:00 pm. So only buy if you already have a ticket for the congress! The VVK closes on December 20.
In long form: The merch pre-sales of the last two events have turned out to be a practical way for us and you to secure your memorabilia in the cut and color of your choice from the comfort of your computer at home and then have it handed out stress-free at the Congress by the bustling angels of the Fashion Operation Center.
For 38C3, we’re treating ourselves and you to a slightly broader range: for all those who like to wear feminine textiles, this year there’s a choice between T-shirts in a “fitted” cut and cozy, dinner-ready T-shirt dresses with a subtle print. Friends of warmer garments, who have no use for the previously unavoidable hoodies, will this time find a lovingly subtly embroidered pullover - with no hoodie in sight - ideal for wearing to formal occasions. And for sporting activities and leisurely lounging at home, we present a special edition of sweatpants with a 38C3 print - so that you can also proudly flaunt your nerdy identity in the gym!
You have until December 20th to order. Please only order if you have a way of actually receiving the goods, i.e. you either have a ticket for 38C3 or someone with a ticket can pick up the goods for you after presenting the pick-up code. You have until 22:00 on day 2 (2024-12-28T22:00:00+01:00) to do this. In legal terms, this is called a Termingeschäft. After that date, the clothes go back on sale and we can only issue them subject to availability.
Of course, there will be a sale of sufficient Congress shirts without pre-order at 38C3 for all those who absolutely want to feel and try them on before buying, but we cannot predict availability or waiting times there. If it becomes apparent that certain textiles are already running out in the pre-sale, we will try to reorder them.
Enough said … now hop over to the ticket system and order your congress merch!
