Magic On Demand Events
Want to play events that you don’t need to pre-register for? Magic On Demand Events, also known as ODEs, are small and quick play experiences that happen every day at MagicCon! ODEs are perfect for players who don’t have time to commit to scheduled ticketed play but still want to play for prizes.
To play make sure to stop by the Registration Stage at Ticketed Play Headquarters and purchase ODE vouchers. Vouchers can be used all through MagicCon: Chicago and are good for any available On Demand Event. There is no pre-registration available for On Demand Events. *
For Dungeons & Dragons on demand play, check out Stormbreak: A Takir Adventure on our D&D Play schedule.
How to Register for ODEs
Step 1: Purchase ODE/League vouchers in $5 increments from the Registration Stage at Ticketed Play Headquarters. You may purchase several extras if you expect to play in multiple events all weekend. *
Step 2: When you are ready to play, go to the On Demand Events waiting area. Tables are labeled with different event types. Once your table has enough players, call for a judge and they will collect your vouchers to start your ODE.
