DC Presents The Gathering at the Comic-Con Museum
« on: April 02, 2019, 10:56:08 AM »
This just came across my feed.  No info on ticket costs yet, except to say that they go on sale June 3rd, but it's Wednesday evening.  If Hop Con lands on Thursday this year, I might go to this.

I was talking to one of the Museum people at WonderCon and they gave me the impression this is likely going to be pricey (since it is a fundraiser).  But also worth it.

I could be wrong and/or misread what they said.  But this might be a pretty expensive ticket

Will Christian Bale be there dressed up like Batman serving cocktail wiener?
If not I will pass.

Yeah, I was looking at the website yesterday and IIRC the starting donations for companies to book their tickets was $2,000.   So, I'm thinking for an individual a ticket would be starting around $200.   This event might be the best opportunity to secure funding for the year.

Yeah, and they close shop completely in mid/late October to start construction.  So the infusion of cash in July will be a necessity, I would think.  I also think/got the impression this could be their first big public fundraiser event.

I went ahead and purchased tickets for the "Main Event", which also includes the "After Party".
I really couldn't justify another $500 per ticket for just the first 2 hours.
But, hey, maybe someone will talk me into it. ;)

Apparently, there are different tiers, with $50 for the after party being the cheapest. Doesn't specify if it's an open bar (seems possible based on wording), if so not a terrible deal

It sounds like a fun event. i just wish that it wasn't on Preview Night. I'd attend if it were Monday or Tuesday.

Just got 5. Glad it doesn't conflict with preview night.
