TWILIGHT Chicago Convention
(847) 478-0119
This is an unofficial event and not associated with Stephenie Meyer, Hachette Book Group, or Summit Entertainment.
Of course. It ALWAYS happens on the other side of the country. Like anything would EVER happen on the East Coast, preferably south-ish. -rolls eyes-And like my mom will let me go. I’m still trying to get her to say yes to the Twi-Con! And everytime I ask, it is an irreversable, resounding, “HELL NO.” Life sucks, don’t it?
So I have debated back and forth about what Twilight Convention I wanted to go to because I have work and school (I am just busy). It was between TwiCon and the Chicago Twilight Convention. Well the decision is made I am going to the Chicago Convention. I know that it has been mentioned that this convention is so expensive, but it really is not anymore expensive then TwiCon. Now before you all tell me i am wrong let me brak it down for you.
TwiCon – Benefits: yes more people, more stars and more going on. Ticket price: $255 and the special meet and greet opportunity went to 250 people and it is gone (good luck getting one on resale. Someone just resold her ticket with a meet and greet pass because she couldn’t go and someone bought it for $510 instantly. She probably could have gotten more.) The $255 ticket price only includes 1 autograph. you will have to pay extra for more autographs and photos. Lets say additional autographs are $20 per person and the photos are $50 per person. if you get an autograph from all the people and 1 photo that is an additional $130 and you still don’t have the private meet and greet opportunity. Plus there will be 2500 fans there. Thats a bit crowded for me when I just want to see the stars and you have to stand in line to get good seats for the Q & A sessions. Now if more stars show up especially Rob (which might actually happen) it might be worth going, but I have already met him. Add in hotel and everything else and it is expensive. I have already spoken to the planner of the event and the meet and greet for the 250 people was a “unique opportunity” (in her own words). So don’t expect another opportunity for some private time with the stars
Registration: $255 (that’s for 1 included auotgraph) no exclusive meet and greet
Additional Autographs at least $80 (more if they announce more stars
1 photo: $50
Total: $385
add in $99 for Mascarade ball if your going
add in hotel and flight if you do not live in Dallas
Now take the Chicago Twilight convention. For as little as $255 you can get autographs from all of the actors, Peter, Ashley, and Kellen (they say more TBA, but we will see). Plus you get to go to the prom and the costume ball. If you get a higher package it gets even better. Take the ultimate package. You get all autographs, 1 photo and you get to go to an exclusive get together with the stars Saturday night. Plus if you live in the Chicagoland area there is no need for a hotel. AND only 800 people get autographs. Sounds good to me.
Registration: $445 (includes all autographs, preferred seating at Q&A, 1 photo, exclusive party with cast, and tickets to costume party and prom which will have special guest drop ins just like TwiCon).
For $ 340 you will get everything except the exclusive get together.
Anyway, I am not trying to sell you on a convention. I have no connection to either convention. I just wanted to break it down for everyone that thought this convention was so much more expensive then the other. It really is not, you just haven’t counted in all the add ons they will have you pay to actually get autographs and photos.
I would love to get to know everyone that is going to the Chicago Twilight Convention. Please feel free to shoot me a message on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/new_moon_news
if you send me a message on myspace you might need to add me as a friend before I can respond.
Just wondering, but can anyone access the website because I can’t. It keeps telling me that the site name was typed wrong, but I’ve done it numerous times and it won’t work. I’ve already bought tickets and I’m getting worried at this point.
