Your CALGARY EXPO badge includes a built-in RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) chip that helps prevent counterfeiting and ensures your badge is valid for entry. Activating your badge also protects it if it’s lost or stolen.
How to Activate Your Badge:
-
Go to calgaryexpo.com/activate on your phone or computer.
-
Enter your activation code (found at the bottom left on the back of your badge).
-
Complete the short form to finish activation.
-
Tap your badge at the entry/exit points to enter the show.
Already activated? You can head straight to the re-entry entrance.
Lost or stolen badge? We can only replace badges that have been activated and registered to you. A $5 fee applies for deactivation and replacement. Badges that are damaged or tampered with will not be replaced.
Troubleshooting Activation Codes
- Zeros have slashes through them (0), and the letter O does not.
-
If your code starts with a zero and doesn’t work, try again without the first zero.
