The High Flying Zell Group: Argonauts Posts: 200 Member No.: 58 Joined: 12-June 05	Well to tell you the truth a 25 dollar pre-reg is not bad at all especially for a full 48 hr convention, but I see where you are comming from figuring we are cutting the first date off early. Then again since it is our first year we need to be agressive with promoting that way we get as many people as possible. To answer you about pre-reg price thing though, the cut off for pre-reg is $40. (Not going to be $100. lol) (if we were charing 100 bucks a registration everyone would be getting free panda treats, a con badge and a case of bawls and then some. haha)

My thoughts exactly...
Even if pre-reg cuts off at $40, at-con pricing will probably be like $40-50, which, IMO, is ridiculous for a small, first year con in a little hotel in Akron.
Also, being a 48 hour con isn't a big deal. Colossalcon is in the same boat as you (small hotel, though much bigger city) and 42 hours of con....but it's only $30 for the weekend if you pay AT THE CON. Pre reg is even cheaper.
I'm really wondering what you're gonna have to make it worth the extra $15...even the "and gaming" part isn't THAT big of a deal, since most anime cons incorporate gaming in one way or another.

Well, I'd rather see aggressive advertising over lack of planning and such.
Though, I think the price will end up being a big turn off.

Though, it will depend on how much money I have left after Ohayocon next year (if I go, haven't decided yet, ohayocon is not getting put above Animepunch and Sugoicon, no, not at all.) The fact that RBG is running it is a plus in my eyes, of course! Since I'm following Kyo to hell and all already...
