Yeah i gotta agree with you, that simply isn't fair that you should pay more. I would contact them and ask for a credit for the difference.

WiredGuy · 01-05-2009, 09:17 PM

All this does is encourage people to not register next year and wait to the last minute. Brilliant marketing from AVN.

im super pissed..would have saved 450 bucks...

Iron Fist · 01-05-2009, 09:48 PM

Sounds like par for the course...

Don't airlines do exactly the same thing? Fly on standby and wait until last minute and save a ton.. or get fucked if there's no more seats.

Brad Mitchell · 01-05-2009, 10:24 PM

Perhaps if registration was $150 from the start attendance would have been higher. $250-$300 is simply too much.

I'm not happy about having paid $250 instead of $150. However, at the end of the day, they're running a business and if this is what they need to do so be it.

I've had a return on every event I have attended for the last 8 years. So, although I'm not happy about some of the things I see - I still can't complain about the results.

Brad

Robbie · 01-05-2009, 10:29 PM

Fucking real nice. I registered Claudia-Marie and I a couple of days ago and thought to myself that it really sucks to pay $300 a piece for badges that pretty much don't get you anything. At least at The Phoenix Forum there was food and drink and lots of stuff to do. $300 a badge to walk around Rain is just too much. Especially since the Internext show itself doesn't sponsor anything at all. Just takes the money and gives back nada.
Oh well, I guess I've snorted more than $600 in an hour before lol Sleazy come, sleazy go.

Registration Fees
Discounted rate ends November 19, 2008
$250 Before November 19, 2008
$300 After November 19, 2008

Looks like the $150 discount is some sort of error.

EDIT: No error here!

Hey, I'm simply saying I get lemons thrown at me all the time. I'm in the business of making lemonade. The amount I paid is too much. Every Internext I feel like I'm grabbing my ankles to buy a badge.

But... and it's a big butt... Even if it was $400 or $500 I would likely still attend. Its a six digit return on almost every show that I attend. I can complain, but not so much, really.

It's not like I don't end up spending 5-15k in travel and hospitality when I fly solo at these things, anyways. Those drinks at the hotel bar I'm always buying aren't free... and it's not quantity at the shows that has value, it's just finding a few quality conversations at every one.

I want someone from AVN to contact me about this. I bought tickets early, and am one of the sponsors for the block party paying for the suite.

There better be some discounts in that conversation.

I agree with you, but it does suck for people who bought passes ahead of time and now the price is much lower. My guess is the number of attendees is way below what they are looking for, and people who may not of bought passes probably did and they are counting on a few more sales to increase the revenue.

I held off from buying a pass for my gf/biz partner because i wanted her to try and win one off a contest; to my surprise there was hardly any. So we had the choice. Try and wing it hoping some sponsor would pick up her tab, or jut fork out the $300.

I know taking a $150 hit when you see this hurts and I would be upset too, but Im not running back to the gas station to get a refund on gas I bought last week because it is $.10 cheaper this week. No one knew this was going to happen, but I highly doubt they are going to refund people the price difference, that would be a huge loss for them. Instead, now they probably have a bunch of pissed off webmasters who are going to wait to the last minute to buy passes for the next show.

Either way, I think they could of done the promo a bit different so they wouldn't of upset so many people, but I still think even at $300, its still worth the money.

I agree, Atlanta and Phoenix forum have high badge fees but the fees are justified with the free meals, transportation, welcome and farewell receptions among tons of other freebies that are included. I don't recall AVN doing anything more than lining their pockets.

Also, has anyone tried booking their rooms directly from the hotel? You'd be surprised to see that AVN's rates are about $40-$50/night more expensive than booking with the Palms directly.

Enough is enough, AVN, stop lining your pockets or you're going to lose the people that made your business.

You have to be joking about the hotel rates being cheaper going direct.

NickSunshine · 01-06-2009, 04:06 AM

my rooms at the palms were like 100 bucks / night cheaper by going direct.
