Now if you don’t  win (but we sure hope you do) you can still but tickets. Check out this entry to see how you can do this convention for a day for not much more than the price of a movie ticket, or how to do it for the weekend for under $100.

Also one last item of note. Frequently on Twitter, because of the 140 character limit, people shorten the name of any Twilight convention to “twicon”.  Not a big deal, but it does and has caused some confusion because there was also a company that did a convention last year in Dallas that has just gone out of business called “twicon”. Creation Entertainment, HUB Productions, Twilight FanTrips, Eternal Twilight, etc. all have events that people sometimes shorten to “twicon” but these companies have never had any association with TwiCon Partners LLC . TwiCon Parters LLC was only in business for slightly more than two years . They did a convention last year in Dallas and was supposed to do two this year in Vegas and Toronto/Ottowa, but they have now gone out of business. Creation Entertainment, HUB Productions, Twilight FanTrips, Eternal Twilight,  have been in the convention business for decades doing business in many fandoms.
