Hiya,
It's perfectly fine to travel each day but you might miss out on some of the random things that happen after the programme has finished each night
Things tend to go on until the wee hours of the morning...
You can also book a ticket for you OH when you book yours so that's no problem, he doesn't have to register unless you want to make him!

The website makes it sound like you have to have a membership to book a ticket (i.e. the membership fee is the cost of your ticket) - is this not right? Once I've signed up is there then another fee for the ticket?
How do partner tickets work?
A
The hotel costs are really discounted for our stay but yes, they do add a lot to the cost of the weekend - I have to save up for quite a while to be able to afford it If it will keep your OHs parents happy then it's probably no bad thing to stay with them.
The membership and ticket are essentially the same thing so you don't need to worry on that score, I'm not sure what you mean about partner tickets though, can you expand a bit and I'll do my best to answer

Sorry for all the questions
A
Aaah, sorry, I get what you mean now
You'll have to buy a membership for him as well but it's really easy to do on the website so you shouldn't have any problems doing it.
Don't worry about asking questions though, it's what I'm here for and the more questions we get from people the more we know what we should be saying upfront so there's less confusion.
It's all good 8)

No to the second and no to the last. The first is a phrase I'm not familiar with.
And well, I just worry I'll annoy the heck out of folks I'd try to talk with

Come along, have a drink, have a laugh and I promise it'll all be OK.

I think it's enough to upset people.But seriously: I am very scared to talk to people. Especially on topic-specific cons

You don't really miss anything as long as you don't dash off at 10pm or something and make sure you are around for Terry's bedtime stories

As for topic specific, my dad went to the last con having never read a Pratchett in his life (mum dragged him there), he had a whale of a time and signed up nearly before I did this time!
