RSS Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 What started as a Facebook discussion over a comic book convention's new, controversial pricing model led to this segment where Dan and Wendee, along with Hannah and Will, talk about the pros, cons, and future of said pricing structure.

Professor Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Halfway thru, but I will echo what Will said about Wizard buying the Mid-Ohio comic con. Wizard raised the price to a point I would never even think about going to, as Will stated, a dealers room. Heck, I thought the $30 was a bit much. I found a very small dealers show (maybe 50 dealers) that costs $4 to get into, and when you pay, you get some sort of trade paperback in return.

Dan Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 For me it's about what you're getting for your admission price. If all you're getting is access to a dealer's room - basically a flea market - then the admission price should be very low. I don't mind paying a higher ticket/membership price if the con gives me the sense that I've gotten a weekend's worth of entertainment out of it.

Molly Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 I skipped Wizard World Minneapolis, because one day cost more than a weekend at C2E2. Michelle and I then hit the much smaller SpringCon for a combine quarter of the price of a single ticket to Wizard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted June 10, 2014 Report Share Posted June 10, 2014 Wizard World bought New England Comic Con a few years back and has yet to do anything with it. I can't imagine feeling the need to give them my money if they ever do, but it would depend on the level of guests they were able to attract. Because you're right; they charge Dragon Con levels of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
