Just because YOU are unsatisfied doesn't mean you should come onto the forums and tell everyone to boycott it, we are all individuals who can think for ourselves, and I (like many of my TRS friends) will be attending Comic Con again. Stop complaining, and don't go.

did you just call jesus a zombie?

Keep in mind that this is classified as a non-profit organization (a means for any organization to NOT pay taxes). Add that to their already ticket sales cap (albeit more having to do with the fire marshal) and this is one show that is getting carried away.

With supply capped, the organizers can only increase revenue by raising the prices. If they can raise ticket prices $25, and still sell their full ticket alotment, one could suggest that they still aren't charging enough for the event.

So what are they doing? "pushing" certain groups out via income levels or do they not mind seeing people get into debt by charging credit cards up just for a yearly event.

.

the other guy is right though you spend more then that going out and having fun anyway. I spend over 100 dollars every time I go out drinking. which is why I don't do it often.

Ahh.. missed that.

Toronto SFX has the same problem, although I'm less concerned with the price than I am the massive 3 hour long line up you have to deal with.

this was my first year going and i probably won't be going again until some hard caps are put on how many people can come in or until they move it to a larger venue. You litterally cannot walk in some areas and the lines for almost all of the panels are outrageous. Just raising the price is not enough to detour people from coming, they need more space and less people. The event itself is pretty cool though with the exception of the occasional smelly nerd
