And it looks like there are a couple of things that aren't even for sale.. that they are going to be auctioned off on ebay. The one looks like it is a photo op with the entire cast.. I can understand that one. But the other is some type of Sunday brunch with a limit of only 20 people. Does anyone know the details of what that is? And when will they be auctioning that off.. or have they already?
It's not that far away.. I would think they would have more details by now..
Smaug..
SMAUG - I checked with Vicki at boosterevent.com and here are some answers to your questions:
Con schedules are not normally posted until very close to the event. Since things can change so rapidly- and things can be added- it's not usually done until last minute. The cast photo ops are strictly for charity and very limited, so that's why they will be on eBay. The Sunday luncheon is also very limited- only 20 con attendees. They will be listed on eBay.
I hope this helps...

Ho-lee-shit. Have you SEEN the price of those tickets?! It costs you like three times as much to get half as much in your weekend as we do in London! PSYCHOTIC! I feel sorry for you guys, you're getting ripped off so bad...

So, I've never been to one of these things, but there's a distinct possibility I'll attend this one. It's on the wrong coast; but there's some new-fangled flying machines that should get me there pretty quick. Anyways, eh, is there food at these conventions? I mean, for $300 bucks, there's damn well better be food. And are they, like, all day for the days that they occur? Like, when will people arrive on Friday, and when will they leave on Sunday? And, do you think it'd be cool if I slept outside on a bench? 'Cause $200 bucks, just for a bed...damn. Lastly, eh, is Sunday really worth it? Would I be missing out if I left Saturday night?

I can't speak for the US, but in the UK you have to pay for your own food, but you DONT have to pay for the parties (and not a hundred pounds!!!!!!!!)... but then again in the UK, convention tickets are £70.
For the price of the convention, I'd advise you to stay and get your money out of it, or you'll be paying over a hundred dollars a day for just autographs and talks.

Any of you lucky folk who are attending willing to report back to us unlucky, less rich flans who won't be able to go? I'd love to live vicariously through you, whoever you are!

Ya know... screw the whole damned lot of them.
$235 bucks for a couple days in "their" presence.
What are they they? gods?
Betcha (even with inflation factored in) nobody ever shelled out that kind of money to see Shatner, Nimoy, and Kelly (and crew) back in the days.
Oh I forget. They are big hollywood hotshots now.
bah

No such thing as paying rent. Gotta go see BDM stars and starve.

Hey! I resent that! I am a nice browncoat, and will report everything (pictures, quotes and all) on my blog!
You do have to pay for food, if you dont go to the special events (that cost a fortune) that feed you. And yeah, I agree, the beds are crazy expensive.
