So okay.
I hear there's going to be a SPN convention in Toronto in October and I think 'Cool!' I go to a general sci-fi/fantasy con every year and have a great time, so I definitely plan to go to this and expect it to be a blast as well. I mean, hey. Origami penises, random conversations about buttsex and nerding out hard with other nerds who nerd over the same nerdy things as me is a win in my books.
So anyway, I check out this 'Creation' website to check out tickets and... wow. Just... Okay.
So here's what you get in the GOLD package.
-reserve seats
-autographs from all the actor guests
-admission to some cocktail party
-admission to some brunch and silent auction
-pre-registration fun (whatever the fuck that is)
-wristband acess (again, what?)
-admission to some random music concert
All things that not only would I not pay for, but most of them I'd pay to get out of.
And then I get to the bottom of the page where it says 'buy tickets' and guess what. The tickets cost $579. FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY NINE FUCKING DOLLARS! Jesus H Christ, for that price, sex with Jensen better be fucking included! Are they fucking kidding? People actually pay this? Oh, plus? Photo ops (again, no chance in Hell I'd ever sign up for that, but whatever) cost an extra $130. So if you want it all, that's a whopping $700. Plus your hotel and food for the weekend. It's insane. I just don't even...
How in the fuck? How can they get away with charging those prices? People must pay it I guess, but... wow. Fans either have way too much money, or they have a serious issue with priorities.
Oh, and as of now, there are no other options for tickets. I guess they're waiting for all the ridiculously wealthy and/or crazy people to buy their tickets before they lower the prices and options for the more reasonable.
I mean, I don't want autographs or cocktail parties or brunches or a fucking
wristband, I just want to hang with some other fans and talk about our show. Seriously. Polaris costs me $50 every year. That's reasonable.
Fucking asshats.
