I'm a little bummed, because I originally bought tickets to see Jason Momoa and Krysten Ritter. Jason cancelled a little while ago, but i only found out yesterday that Krysten has cancelled as well (she's still listed on the events page, which is why I didn't notice until yesterday). So now there are zero celeb panels in which I am interested.Since I have the ticket I'll still go, but I'm really disappointed. If I could get a refund at this point, I would. I know you're not supposed to buy con tickets based on a single guest, but this was 2 out of 3. So 2/3 of the original guests have cancelled. I'm not impressed.
Reading the reviews on Facebook...this con is not getting rave reviews so far. The vast majority of the 5-star reviews were written before the convention... The main complaints seem to be the size of the exhibit hall and the price-to-amenities ratio. Seeing the exhibitor listing on their website, and also given that it's a hotel convention...I'm not surprised. It's also priced as an A-con which is pretty ambitious. There are also comments about it being unorganized, although given that it's a first year con that's understandable. I don't let its first year status excuse the size, though...Denver, Salt Lake, and Silicon Valley have shown that conventions no longer need to start small.Interested to hear what people from here who went think.
I agree with all the complaints mentioned. Very confusing layout, many cancelled guests, exhibit hall did not have much, the panels were very sub-par and badges were overpriced. Also, the hallways where the panels were got super packed and it was hard to maneuver about. That being said, I only planned on going on Friday but ended up going for a little bit on all three days. I didn't buy a badge on Saturday or Sunday. I noticed that the atrium level (where the info booth was, beneath the levels where the panels were) was open to the public. Since one of my main attractions of going to cons is just to hang around with like minded geeks and take pictures, it was perfect for me because I was able to do just that. If they do it again next year, hopefully they could get a better venue. Here's a link to some pics I took.You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
