I want to go to Dragoncon as my first con
what do i need to know? i haven't even bought tickets yet

>> No.10653684

>>10652820
Have you ever attended a legit 4 day con? Just be prepared to pace yourself as there's 24hr programming spread across 5 hotels

Despite what you hear about it being primarily a party con (which it is), the programming itself is chock full of quality material hosted/ran by fans who really know their stuff

Anything specific you wish to know? Also, if you're looking for a cheap pass, I'm selling a few at early bird price (save $35 on each)

Whoops, dumbass me! I forgot the very 1st line you wrote. Either way, if the con is convenient enough a trip for you, I'd say do it up. Are you going alone btw?

Do I need to get vaccinated in order to go this year?

>> No.10653713

There should be an app that you can download to get most of the programming details iirc. The website also has more detailed guest lists and a map that shows each booth of the artists that are attending. I would try to avoid walking outside in the heat by walking to the different hotels using the skyways.

when and where should i buy tickets?
tips on cheap hotels?
also would staying only like 2 days be stupid?

i'll probably go with a fren that would also be his first.
it's about a 150 mile trip for me so.

Yeah the cap being +1 the amount of tickets they sell.

If they had a cap on tickets they would have announced it.

They clearly have no intention of capping shit. All of this is theater to cover their ass.

so are they forcing masks?
can i lick some cosplayer feet?
if the people there are anything like the ones you see at malls then i'm a gigachad lol

They're enforcing masks but I don't know how a bunch of out of shape volunteers are going to enforce shit in crowds of thousands of people that are taking their masks off to drink constantly.

how is being drunk/high in public at cons?
and how easy is it to pull cosplayers?
i might just wear my uwu mask and have it off half the time
i'm probably not even going to cosplay though.
do the tickets ever get cheaper than $100?

>how is being drunk/high in public at cons?

The best, I live for it

>and how easy is it to pull cosplayers?

Can't speak for that I'm a loser. If you can pull under normal circumstances it's easier to pull during a con from what I hear

>do the tickets ever get cheaper than $100?

No, if you a buy a year in advance it's ~$90 for the whole weekend but yeah too late for that now.

what are the best days for it? i'd probably go Friday and Saturday

>> No.10655622

>>10655618

I go all days starting thursday afternoon.

But Saturday is 100% the biggest, between Friday/Sunday I'm actually not sure, keep in mind Sunday is effectively another Saturday compared to most cons. Sunday is a full day of the con and Monday is the real 'Sunday' where the con ends mid-afternoon.

Since you can't buy a Saturday pass this year because of 'capping' you'll have to buy a 4 day if you want to go at all on Saturday. Might as well go all days in that case.

>> No.10655636

2019 Dragon Con crowds were at 80k so that means the cap will be around 40k total. Don't procrastinate on this. Also be prepared for hotel and restaurant services to suck because of the worker shortages. Don't be a Karen to the ones are working because those poor bastards are about to be overwhelmed by the crowds.

There is no cap until they say what the cap is and how many they have left.

They aren't limiting sales, they aren't giving numbers. Just % bullshit.

>> No.10655837

>>10655669
Yeah, they've been evading the question of what the attendance cap is. They claim their "government partners" advised them not to or some shit. I don't see how being secretive about their attendance numbers helps things at all.
