It's happened - Gen Con has sold out of 4-Day badges for Gen Con 50, its historic 50th convention to be held August 17-20. Sales of single-day badges that include Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday Family Fun will continue at gencon.com, though supplies are limited. If you're interested in attending Gen Con 50 it would be wise to purchase these badges soon, as single-day badges also are expected to reach a sellout.
