Did anybody pay $340 or did all you guys wind up paying $415 like I did ?
If I missed something to chose member price, where was it ?
I sent an e-mail to the "contact us" will they fix this ? The system wont let me go through the process again or even log out.

Hopefully getting a reserved seat at panels, getting to pick up my exclusives early and such will help make the trip a more relaxing time for me instead of it being four days of insanity while providing content and coverage for Seibertron.com.

I couldn't swing it. I understand there are only 75 of the Golden Primus packages available, you are now the second person I know who scored one. With my wife going, a Golden Primus, a Golden minicon, and the add ons would be put a little over $1000.00 before airfare, food, accommodations and let's not forget, Toy money! I had to pass. You will have some backup this year though, I know El-Duque and myself are bringing laptops. You might even get to relax a little on your vacation!

I would wait until after Monday. Monday morning the crew will come in and start processing orders. You will get a confirmation email (normally sent to the email address associated with your TFCC membership account) with a receipt and a confirmation printout. When that comes in, check and see. Once you receive that email, you can straight hit reply and send your Club info, and most likely get it reduced.

Hey Brian fixed my problem overnight. He is one cool dude, working overtime.
On the golden Primus Package:
The no limit to exclusives deal concerns me. Likley half of these 75 people are going to be online dealers, not real fans. I dont see a problem with people buying one extra figure to scalp, but I think Funpub should not encourage dealers to buy out half the stock before the rest of us get in line. If each one of these guys buys 5 extras of each exclusive, thats half the stock right there. You do the math. Botcon should offer vouchers to any regular Primus package holders who dont get at least one of each exclusive. This voucher could be redeemed online for a pre-oredered restock specifically for these people.

Unless I misread it, there is a limit to how many can be purchased.

Fender Bender wrote:I look at the Golden Ticket like a "Press Pass". It's targeted towards a small demographic of the fandom, that are either really well off or they work for/own one of the fan sites. Makes sense for those on the various website staffs to try and get up front to convey the Botcon experience to those not attending. Makes it much easier to document/record things said or done when you are close to the front. I will say though, that when the slide shows start for the Hasbro Panel, that that would really start to hurt the neck to look up sitting that close.
I would encourage Botcon to change it so that the Golden Ticket ISN'T an add on, but actually a Separate Package all together. There are Attendee Rates and Dealer Rates, make the Golden Ticket the "Press Rate".

Truer words have never been spoken, my friend.
With the exception of last year (just wasn't interested in the set enough to justify the price) I've managed to make it ever year since '07. While I'm still excited about this year's set, the dealer room and all that jazz, to be perfectly honest all that toy related stuff only comes up to about 10% of my interest, and thus justification for going. 5% goes to finding out what Hasbro has planned for the next year, and 85% is seeing my buddies, geeking out all day and drinking all night with people I otherwise never get to see.
Can't wait to see you guys there :3

2011 actually had a pretty low turnout Seibertron.com-wise. However, having spoken to a lot of people thus far it seems like almost everyone I've met through BotCon since 07 (my first year, also) is going this year. Fun times ahead, to be sure!

Wait, you've been to a BotCon before? I thought you only chased cows.

OTFCC 2004, Botcon 2006, 2007, and 2008.
We don't chase cows up here, we tip 'em, lol. Watch Tommy Boy for reference (despite it taking place in Ohio).
