Conventions charging $300 - $1000 admission - GoFuckYourself.com

Brujah · 02-27-2003, 02:38 PM

Friend of mine was showing www.nycexpo.com to me. Now, why would webmasters want to pay $995 per person to attend ?

Dawgy · 02-27-2003, 02:41 PM

no shit... considering all the various levels of sponsorship they have & how much they cost, im surprised they need to charge attendees anything...

uno · 02-27-2003, 02:43 PM

I was all excited to see a convention in NYC, and my jaw dropped when I saw the pricetag. I'd go if they gave out free blowjobs, exclusive sites, and some content with the admission fee.

That price was just for registration fees? Damn, that's kinda strange.

notjoe · 02-27-2003, 02:44 PM

Do they cover your hotel atleast?

asuna · 02-27-2003, 02:48 PM

Maybe they think only high rollers will go, and they think high rollers have manners and won't trash the place?

Jer · 02-27-2003, 02:48 PM

holy shit!

Brujah · 02-27-2003, 02:49 PM

It looks like $1295 if you want the hotel package, $995 otherwise.

Yeah its pretty Brutal...........and for what ?? You are going to basically see most of the same people you meet at other shows.There have been a few posts about this here before, people complaining about the prices, thats when they dropped it to $995

Mr.Fiction · 02-27-2003, 03:26 PM

In other industries, where there is an actual barrier to entry, the fees for conventions can be a lot higher than that.

Maybe they want to get rid of the non-players?

webair · 02-27-2003, 03:42 PM

NYC its more expensive in general for everything =)

should be a good show!

Don't sweat it, these type of expenses are tax deductible.

Herb Kornfield · 02-27-2003, 08:14 PM

Still, the price to get in is Ridiculous ! You have to justify it somehow, and going to a couple of parties & a strip club is totally out to lunch for the money.I went to Ninas party Last year, met a whole bunch of new people, done business, Had a great time for a 3rd of the money! As a matter of fact I am going to do Amsterdam for less . I know Ny is not the cheapest city, but the promoters should get real !

tony286 · 02-27-2003, 08:19 PM

NYC isnt that much more expensive, I wrote them and said I had a place to stay. They told me you had to take the hotel package.
Also $1000 dollars for lunch, some of the same old seminars (stuff you can read about on the web for free ) and a party at a strip club please lol. I work way to hard for my money to give it away lol.

Name one I worked in the real world for a longtime and never saw a convention that just to get in the door was $1000 lol. Most of the costs of conventions are eaten up by vendors who want exposure.

bikinihouse · 02-27-2003, 08:24 PM

that's fucked up

True. BUT, in how many other industries is there a big bash practically every other weekend? Have you seen the line-up for April? It's packed!

applejacks · 02-27-2003, 08:54 PM

I live nyc and I was thinking about going. But fuck 1,000.00?
I rather spend that shit in a strip club or a night club.

NYC EXPO · 03-04-2003, 10:00 AM

The fee is not for just the attendance it?s an all inclusive price for all your activities once you arrive aside from the seminar. In addition to the two days of seminars, it includes:

3 nights accommodations at the Hilton Hotel

It also includes your Daily lunch

Your Transportation to all the events

Thursday Night Welcome Party with OPEN BAR, music and entertainment compliments of NYC Expo

Friday Night VIP Party at Sessa Nightclub with OPEN BAR

Closing party Saturday at the infamous Scores Gentlemen?s Cabaret including full DINNER, OPEN BAR & entertainment from the Scores Girls.

Where can you go in NYC and get all that for that price?

It?s basically an accumulative amount of the long weekend.

NYC Expo is a great way to conduct business deals and alliances in the energizing atmosphere of New York City. NYC EXPO was organized to bring new and existing Adult Webmasters, entrepreneurs and established companies together in one intimate environment to exchange business knowledge and initiate new business deals. The industry's key individuals will be sharing their knowledge and expertise on how to succeed AND excel in the fast growing Adult Industry.

NYC EXPO would like to thank our current sponsors:

And more on the way?-

Sly_RJ · 03-04-2003, 10:06 AM

Aren't the parties usually free and covered by the sponsors?

The all inclusive fee to cover parties and bar bills is ridiculous and a complete joke. Not everyone attends parties. Not everyone drinks. Why should they have to pay the tab?
