legeek Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Thanks for the heads up. On a related note why is the VGXPO so expensive this year? I can understand needing to charge for admission to the show, but why also have the arcade take tokens and then charge a separate fee for LAN etc. It seems like you're "triple dipping" your potential attendees. Even if VGXPO was a well established event like Dragon con or PAX, the pricing seem high to me. But VGXPO is a convention in flux. What are we getting for our money? Let me just say, I'm all for there being videogame conventions, but please help me understand the pricing. Thanks, Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickybaby Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 (edited) OMG, It's more expensive then last year even and we couldn't afford last year's prices. Unless there is an AA booth for us to help at (if they need help ) I can tell you that we won't be going. Thanks for the heads up.

ed_fleming Posted August 2, 2006 Author Share Posted August 2, 2006 Prices... We cut our ties with NBC10 - so we had to rent the space without their help and we also have to cover new marketing costs that we didn't have last year. Because of this we can no longer open the show to the public for free. We charging $35 for a pre-reg weekend pass and $20 for day passes. The LAN event is 48-continous hours and is $60, the resone for this cost is that we have to spend a large amount of money for each unit that uses electricity and for security. We baed the pricing model on sci-fi and comic book convnetions. The table prices for VGXPO start at the same prices as last year and there are new options for larger vendors. We are advertising in 2 issues of EGM, Tips and Tricks, OPM and Play magazine. We'll also be marketing in more news papers and doing a lot of other pre-event activities. During the show we'll have a number of events that last long into the night. In essence, when VGXPO opens at 6pm on Friday Oct, 27 - there will be activies that lat until 8pm on Sunday, Oct 29.

Chickybaby Posted August 3, 2006 Share Posted August 3, 2006 Prices... The table prices for VGXPO start at the same prices as last year and there are new options for larger vendors. There really are no options again (like last year) for people who just want to get rid of their extra stuff, packing and pricing everything for just one day is rediculous when you have all common stuff and can maybe top 200$ minus expenses (and gas is a biggie too anymore). You can have a lot of stuff and while it may be fun the actual dollar amount may not be a lot. It would have been nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have plans for what you are talking about, but haven't announced it yet. Essentially, will have a small, low cost swap zone. Since money transactions can take place there, our biggest hurdel is the tax man. Once we resolved this I'll make an announcement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
