Twilight Convention Wank
This is an offshoot of a post I made on [info]clairvoyantwank

Twicon is being billed as the biggest and best Twilight convention in the country. Well, I had my doubts, and now it looks like some of the sparkle is rubbing off for the Twihards.

You see, Yesterday the con finally announced it's autograph policy (it's on their main page):

Autographs for each attending cast member will be available for reservation on Friday, June 19, at 11:59pm EST. Each attendee can sign up for one free autograph at that time. To reserve your free autograph, login to your registration account and go to the Agenda section. You will only be given the option of selecting one cast member. Don’t worry; once everyone has had time to select their free autograph, we’ll be offering autographs for sale for those cast members who have more time and autographs available.

Okay, these people are paying $255 for this weekend (at least). Which is only $14 cheaper than Creation's Gold Package which includes free autographs from everybody.

To say the least, the fans are not happy...

This is going to be a fun con :)

ETA: I was wrong about the podcast thing, so I removed it.

ETA II: I also notice quite a few attempts at registration sell-offs have popped up in the last 24 hours...

ETA III: On that registration sell off page I noticed one post seems to have gone missing. User lennire had flung her hands up in disgust and wanted to sell off her ticket. Now her posts are gone and her account non-existent, though some of the threads she has started still exist without her. Nobody else seems to have caught wind of this, but I bet the shit will hit the fan when everyone realizes this.

ETA IV: Here's a handy dandy link to all the coverage...

Awesome. Like nine months ago I started hoping for a Twilight Convention Gone Wrong. That's all they needed!

Oh man. That sucks majorly. I... actually feel kinda bad for the Twihards. Didn't think it'd ever happen.

BTW: I see there is already some bitching going on in the chat window on their message board. I have an account and took some screen caps, but I wasn't sure if that counted as a locked forum or not...

God, that's just depressing. I got as far as the girl who chose the con over studying abroad in London and I just couldn't read anymore without breaking out the vodka.

Ouch. I know I've said it before, but the other cons I've gone to generally cost $50-70 for the entire con... I cannot imagine spending $250 for a con that isn't career-related. And for a first time con? Wow.

I've heard they're ripping off the dealers too.

Guess what they started selling at my local conbini? Zima Orange!

Also this kind of makes me want to make a Twilight con of my own, not because I like Twilight, but because newbie fans deserve better than this fuckery. I'd totes invite Lady Sybs for a panel too! And then go all Phoenix Wright on her ass.
OBJECTION!

So one of the sellers wants to sell their membership so they can put a down payment on the TwiCruise? A cruise?

http://www.twilightfanscruise.com/

OMG it's a real cruise starting in Seattle with a tour of all the places that are mentioned in the book.

Next the Twilight Rocket Launch....

Wow! So very glad I talked my bud out of this con in January when she was totally drinking the Twilight Koolaide. I flat out told her the prices were waay to frakking high, and then to demonstrate I hit the ComiCon site and a few others and showed her what reputable cons cost. She got the msg and well whatever got her into it has pretty much faded.

After reading through everything, I don't know why but I keep getting that odd feeling of a repeat of that legendary LoTR convention scam in light of there being no refunds and all those insane prices.

I'm likely wrong but who knows.

Either way, the wank explosion's going to be a sight to behold.

This is a once in a life time oppurtunity for me and I feel cheated. Since this is only a once in a life time thing I would like to be able to walk up to my favorite cast members and shake their hand and let them know the impact they've made on me.

This is not a "once in a lifetime chance." These movies are going to sucking the life out of society for at least another 2 years and I'm pretty sure they're gonna let the actors out to play once in a while.


Now if some chick ran up to Kellan or Jackson or Peter and asked them to sign her underwear and then to marry her I could see removing her crazy ass but most of us aren't like that.

I would argue on your level of crazy. Especially since you're dropping an ass load of money to be at this shitty con.

Some one is trying to play damage control on the thread Though I don't see how this is supposed top be an improvment...

Okay,everyone calm down..I admit I was totally po'ed last night.But,my dh called them this morning and this is what she said to my husband..You will still get your free photo/autograph..The 2 autographs/photos are additional to the included ones in the 255.00 registration..Now for the only 65 people..It's 65 per session,per actor&they will have 7 sessions..So,all hope this clears things up..Trust me,I was real close to tell telling my dh to discontinue it..but,have since calmed down!!!Hope everyone has a wonderful day!!

One more attempt at clarification by someone who apparently called the Twicon offices.

A friend of mine called the Twicon offices about 20 minutes ago. This was the information she was given:

Each actor is only doing 1 session, with 65 photos. The grand total of photos available for purchase is 455.

A free photograph is NOT included in the registration fee, and we can only purchase 1.

A free autograph IS included, and we can purchase one extra.


So free one free autograph, but no free photos (which is a crock at these rates)


The person my friend spoke with explained that the Actor's management are the ones who have set the restrictions due to the hype and publicity Twicon is getting, and also because of the number of people who will be attending. The management have set the restrictions in place because they are concerned about security. Since the management call pull the actors from the convention if any of the terms are broken, the Twicon people are being extremely strict on this issue.


So, blame it on the Actors Agents because your publicist did a better job than the rest of the managemnt :)

I wish Lady Sybilla would go and hand out paperback copies of Russet Noon--I want to see a train come along and barrel into another trainwreck it'd be nice if the congoers could at least get something for free.

Damn, I should have screen capped!!!

It seems user lennire just got her account deleted after she flung up her hands in disgust. She posted a message on the registration sale board she was selling it for $130 and pointing out how much she hated this whole situation. Next thing you know, all her posts are deleted. One of the threads she started is still active, but her posts are gone!

I don't think anyone else has noticed this fact, but I expect someone will eventually...
