Lewis Brindley, co-founder of gaming group Yogscast, has spoken out on the no re-entry rules following fan confusion.
The co-founder of the group has commented on re-entry rules for convention YogCon ahead of its launch in Bristol for 3 and 4 August.
It will be the debut for the convention, named in association with the gaming group.
However fans took to Twitter to discuss a no re-entry rule found on their tickets.
One fan said: Having some pretty strong anxiety over this “no re-entry” rule for YogCon. I want to go, and I know I wont be able to get my ticket money back if I dont go, but the idea of being confined (or, if I leave, missing out) is make me pretty terrified right now.
Many fans may choose to take time from a convention due to anxieties, needing to rest for health reasons or to find food alternatives.

The sold out event is set to take place at Motion in Bristol, with a maximum capacity of 800 people.
Responding to the issues, co-founder of the Yogscast, Lewis Brindley, reassured on Reddit: Im sure if people need to leave and re-enter I doubt it will be a problem.
The gaming presenter added a further email response from the organiser of the event, sent to a fan to reassure them that it has a building section (where well have two of the stages, gaming, signings and other activities), as well as two large outdoor areas.
One of which will be quite a chilled quiet zone and another that will host the Outdoor stage and food vendors.
It is a very large space and as organisers we were under the impression this will give people enough freedom and flexibility to enjoy the show or escape to the outdoors.
The confusion over re-entry follows news of CEO, Mark Turpin, and a content creator, Matthew Meredith both leaving the company following sexual allegations.
Mark Turpin, released a statement onto Reddit that said: Just to let you know Ive stepped down as CEO of the Yogscast.
