Wayward Cocktails
« on: May 06, 2019, 09:28:40 PM »
Supernatural isn't my fandom, but just in case for anyone else, Wayward Cocktails is back this year and tickets go on sale at midnight Pacific... So in about 2.5 hours.

Whoa, $46 seems like... a lot for a fandom party.

Did anyone do this last year? Curious about experiences.

I'm really glad I had something else planned for Thursday already, because I would love to go...but for about half that amount.

For about $25 I would have bought a ticket.

I've been to it the past 2 they have had and they were fun, but now it looks like tickets have jumped up to $72 a person.  Think I will pass this year.

Was there last year. Wasn't all that exciting. But the bar food was good. Swag was ok. Left early, around 7

Couldn't help but notice that the sponsor level includes 1 admission and 10 drink tickets, and the named sponsor  level includes 2 admissions and 25 drink tickets for the 2 hour event. That's a pretty serious cocktail party.

I was looking at it earlier. I haven’t gone before but 60 bucks seemed a bit much. It looks like regular admission is sold out now.

Anyone who pays the $70+ for admission probably didn't go last year like I did. Save your money for better venues.
Would actually be worth it if they has some of the cast there. But they don't have anyone connected to the show.

That's an insane price for a 2 hour party.  Rave of Thrones is $50 for 5 hours, including a $50 drink card and a celebrity DJ.  Or just $20 with no drink card.  I'm not sure what justifies that high of a price unless the venue raised the price on them this year.  But if that's the case, I'd rather they shop around to another venue.

I think people are jumping on events early. I’ll wait and see what’s going on closer. There will be cheaper or free events announced closer.

That's the way I feel.  There were events at clubs for free last year sponsored by various companies.  One of them I went to was the full club experience including free alcohol.  Which wasn't that much of a win for me since all I really ever want is a beer and they just had the hard stuff.  Which makes sense since it was sponsored by a liquor company.
