$150 GFY Discount for Vegas Internext Tickets??? WFT???
 

thanks for making me feel like an ass for paying the full price. is the show doing so bad that this is necessary? how sad.

next year i won't be buying a ticket at all and just wait for something like this i guess

great marketing :disgust

ask for a rebate.

where did you see that? I'm going to charge back on my CC.

Yeah where did you see that at?

just came in by email

AVN can pay me drinks and food for $150 for compensation

Yeah, just got that too. goodgirl is mad at herself for planning ahead.

Well damn, that sort of does suck.

yeah, i feel like an idiot for booking early to pay $250 instead of $300

i am officially pissed :mad:

Swweet!

Glad I waited to last minute.
Registering now.
:)

oh snappp GFY mailerrr again i am gonna get 78 emails noww

Pissed. Booked the last day of the "earlybird" discount. :mad:

hahahahaha

it is better marketing than telling everyone the hotel is selling out and only higher priced suites are available.

thats fucked... do a chargeback

:Oh crap:Oh crap

yeah, its such a good marketing that i will not buy a ticket next year till one day before i leave. if i go that is

How long is the promo good for?

:1orglaugh

I'll give you $100 for the ticket

pretty messed up, just saw the email as well

Never got that email. InterNext SUCKS anyway. Especially since it went to the Palms and I can't bring hot 18 yr old girls there.

I just regged 6 people, thanks for the discount. :)

:thumbsup:thumbsup

i never got the email

Hey guys. Dont fall for this shit.

The Anal hobbit is selling photocopied versions of his pass for only 30 bucks.

This comes with the plastic and neckband..

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.

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

Getting my sleeping bag ready for next year.

wow that's fucked up

yeah im pissed off..i was even speaking to an avn rep while buying my tickets today

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

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. :)

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.

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.

Brad you know I love you, but you are wrong on this one.

Can the anal hobbit tell us what drugs he takes?

damn foo

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:thumbsup

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.

Avn full sucks dick on this one

why don't you share why he is wrong?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

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.

+1 for the very unhappy

I think it is awesome. I might even buy a pass this time.

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

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