I haven't been to any! :O
Which one did you prefer? Acen or Otakon? And what were the differences?

Haven't been to any. Was going to go to the one in Dallas, but dadgum tickets were $100/day. I like freak shows, but not that expensive.

Woah! Why so expensive?! O_O

They have tons of guests. The convention started out small time, but after it's fifth year it exploded into a major event. They got folks coming from all over just to go to "A-con in D-town". So with greed being in style in America, the ticket prices inflated.

Man...that just sucks...
But what good is a convention when you enter broke...?

Folks plan vacations around stuff like that. Get you about $3,000 stored up, and blow your wad on the trip. As for what you get out of it...some swag, photos, and hard to find anime/manga.

eeeeeeeeeeerm....Okay, I can understand the anime/manga part if they're really really hard to find and you've been looking for them for years. But other than that, it's just too expensive in my opinion.

most conventions don't go for that mutch.
Acen, which I live closest too only goes for $50 for the entire convention.
Otkaon is like $40 for the entire convention. Now buysing stuff there is expensive but you can get a lot of cool things

Personally I perfer Otakon, it's more organized and stuch, but it's farther away....

Yeah in America, greed is a nat'l religion. I heard the Star Trek thing in Vegas, will cost you an arm and a leg.
