Conventions? Addictive? Don't be ridiculous! lol It sucks though when you have to leave a panel for an op. One of the awesome things about Creation Conventions. No two things happen at once so you don't miss any panel parts for ops.
Your pics have made me realise hot coworker at work looks like the Carver twins. Can't believe I didn't realise sooner!
And I know, right? It wasn't like that in Düsseldorf; only M&Gs were at the same time as the panels. But maybe this was the only way for them to organize it cause having to organize things with 10 guests is a lot more complicated than with 6. But I felt like I barely saw them at all, which was a bit disappointing.
Haha, cool! Maybe they're really triplets and he's one of them ;)
Hmmm, I just looked it up and they don't seem to have any Teen Wolf ones planned at the moment! But I looked at one of the schedules from a past one and it seems pretty well-organized!
The other day I read that TW cons aren't that popular anymore and people have to stop running them because they just can't afford it. :/ The one in Frankfurt this year was cancelled a week before the con or something - and god, that must've sucked for people - and I read something about the one in Lisbon also having trouble getting enough people to buy tickets, and that for a lot of cons, 2015 would be the last year. :c
Yeah I was surprised to see Creation didn't have any scheduled at the moment and was equally surprised to see that the 2-3 past ones didn't have many guests. For SPN we usually have I'd say +/- 14.
I do know of a small TW con in Paris (found it when I stumbled across the company holding a ONE TREE HILL con in Montreal lol). No TW con here though :/
I wonder why TW cons aren't working anymore. Maybe people aren't as in to the show as at the start? Or maybe because the favorite guests aren't attending?
That company is expensive. I thought Creation was expensive but then I saw the cost of the other company and cost versus what you get is crap. Plus they have no cheap day passes. I considered the OTH con here until I saw that. Not even Danneel being added as a guest would make me spend the $200 something they want for the two day pass. Sucks because Sophia Bush is supposed to be there and meeting CMM would kind of be cool for nostalgia sake lol
Guest attendance is definitely a factor. When the favorites don't come, fans are more likely to skip it if they don't yet have their ticket.
I wondered how TW was doing in the ratings. I'm not surprised there was a drop. Which is another factor. SPN is doing great and even if it started to drop, after 10 years, it would take time for con attendance to drop. It's really one big family and there are a ton of guest options so no shortage. Woo! lol
Wow! I just looked at prices for a past Days of the Wolf con and... huh, it seems to be a lot cheaper over there, even if you don't convert the prices to €. But I guess you have to take the number of guests into consideration too - there were 6 at this DotW con I looked at; 10 at the one in Paris, so that's a bit of a difference, but the difference in price is still pretty enormous, huh.
I'm still making my Paris vs Düsseldorf convention comparison post (which probably won't interest anyone but me LOL) but maybe then we can also check what a typical US TW con costs.
Haha, aww. <3 I think I stopped watching OTH after season... 4 or so, so I was never obsessed enough to consider going to a con. But if it had been cheap... maybe
( ... )
LJ ate my comment :/ Anyways. Same for me about OTH. Up to S4 or 5. Which is why cheap day passes would be awesome. They could probably make more money if they sold cheap day passes closer to the con so that people like me would cave and spend.
I just looked at the cost of the Creation TW con and it is CHEAP. SPN is like 3x the cost of the TW one. I blame Jared and Jensen lol The schedule listed for the con gives you an idea of what you could expect though.
Ah yes iTunes. Gone are the days of accurate Nielsen ratings lol
Hit as many TW cons as you can before they officially become a thing of the past!
Definitely - day passes are definitely always a good idea. I don't think they had them for Paris, but in Düsseldorf they did (and I bought one immediately before realizing that they still had whole weekend passes too LOL - but fortunately I found someone I could sell it to).
Ahhh, yes, Jared and Jensen probably cost a little more than the supporting cast, and probably the entire TW cast. I keep seeing that they charge more for Posey though, so he must be more "expensive" too.
My mum just made a good point about the Europe vs US prices - for cons in California especially and the US in general, they probably don't always have to pay for the actors' flights - or they're a lot cheaper than oversea flights, which they need to pay for to get them to Europe. And that might be why passes/extras are more expensive over here.
I'm planning to! I wish I could go to all of them but I don't wanna overdo it either cause it does always end up getting a lot more expensive than I expect because of plane tickets/hotel/etc. XD

Going to any any other cons?
