No lottery. This will be sold as an add on package. It will be first come first serve.

People who purchase the Primus package will have the option to also purchase the Golden Ticket AND/OR the Frank Welker VIP ticket.

Depending on how much the Frank Welker ticket will cost, I may or may not go for it.

Oh thank goodness this is about Bot Con pass tickets.

I misread the news title as Frank Welker having passed away.

Last year's Primus Package was $395, and it gets more expensive each year.

The Golden Ticket upgrade is an additional $300 added to the Primus Package, so last year it was $695.

So this year, Primus Packages should be over the $400 amount, with Golden Tickets being over $700, and the Frank Welker VIP Pass added to both being over $600 and over $900 respectively.

This is my projected thought as well.

Probably the very next year after the one where the cost is a herd of cattle and an acre of land.

$200 is ridiculous. I paid less to meet (plus the works) Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, and Taylor Momsen combined.

I think one could potentially make the argument that Frank is indeed bigger than those three, in a way.

After all, he is among the highest grossing actors of all time.

Please. Britney alone has almost 9 times his net worth, Avril 3 times. Frank is a successful voice actor and well renowned in the industry, but he's no celebrity. Paying over $300 alone for a Primus package is rough as it is, but then paying absorbanent celebrity prices for nostalgia purposes only? Well, anybody can spend their money how they wish as long as they're happy, but either Frank is asking for an absurd paycheck from FunPub to the point they have to charge extra to cover costs, or FunPub found another way to milk fans... neither are swell options

That may change after this little venture! Suppose the man needs to make a living.

If you have the money and the desire to meet him then go for it but this seems like a money making device to me and has nothing to do with thanking the fans in any way.

Wasn't Peter Cullen meet and greet with picture price 200 for last year convention maybe it was 250

News Credits: 16 · by **It Is Him** » Thu Apr 23, 2015 7:02 am

A lot of people are complaining about the price. Is there anyone not miffed by the Frank Welker price and are considering doing it?

I might. I just wish I had something cool for him to sign, like a MIB pre-rub Soundwave or something.

I'm hoping this is a joke. Other wise I'll just chalk it up to different priorities and tastes in music.

I plan on doing the Welker package, but I also plan on putting the toys from botcon up on ebay to help cover the cost. I also love in the Chicago suburbs so I don't have to worry about travel or lodging costs.
