My wife and I are planning to attend our first Comic Con in Austin. The information that we are gleaning from Wizards is vague at best. Aside from the ticket pricing, and I am assuming the aborbent food vending costs what else can we expect ? I know there will be costumes, panels of various kinds, but I am curious about other aspects of the Con that I may not be aware of. I have emailed Wizard several times to get more information about their VIP ticketing, but not one email has been returned. We are taking our 7 , and 6 year old so I am really interested in events, shows, and character meetings. What has been the experiences in the past for a Wizard sanctioned/sponsored Con.
I know that these questions are best suited forthe sponsor but when all else fails, all I can go on is what they have done in the past. From what I understand the Con is generally held in Dallas. With poor census for the Dallas con it was abandoned by Wizard several years ago. Should this be a clue to what I might expect. A 1/2 hearted attempt to come back, or a major all out event ?
How much does a Comic Con cost ?
Well, i did a bit more digging , and from what I have found is that its not worth it for the VIP tickets. Long ago, from what I found, the VIP tickets allowed access to exlusive meet/greets, signings, early entry, content, and such. Now Cons are more of a "pop culture" event and all the pizaz is just marketing and hype.
Anyone else agrees with this ?
