You have a couple things going on with this tiered membership thing.

Basically it comes down to this: How can Otakon sell day passes without selling day passes? Day Pass = Ticket = Event Taxes; which suddenly makes it more trouble than its worth.

So from that idea came the idea of a tiered membership, offer a better experience for more money. The Otakon Vegas team found plenty of members willing to pay more for a better experience, and stupidly they assumed what worked on the West Coast will "port over" to an East Coast convention. Wrong answer, but nobody listed to this anon.

Funny thing, the next Otakon meeting got moved at the last minute, from this weekend to next. The last time this happened, it was for a wedding, but it also prevented the greybeards from attending the meeting to oppose the vote to have Otakon Vegas to begin with. Not saying its the same thing, but its a hell of a coincidence it happened for the budget meeting.

Also want to smack the next person who tells me "Hurr durr Otakon's a non-profit, they're not supposed to make money"
