Message: <blockquote data-quote="JDragon" data-source="post: 1089860" data-attributes="member: 780">$50 plus 1.50 per hour of gaming?!?Well after being out of town for a few days I got a chance to check out the reg site for SoCal GenCon and was amazed at the prices they are charging.They want $50 (pre-reg) for 4 days, and then to pay for each and every game you play in?  Thats insane! (IMHO)  So figure $50 to get in and 8 hours of gaming each day (which is about half what I normally do) = $75 not including hotel & food.I have been attending cons for 10 plus years in Ca & Tx inculding Orgins and have never paid that much.Currently I usually attend DunDraCon in the Bay Area and at least one of the others in the area during the year.  For these I pay at most $40 for all 4 day and don't pay anything additional for the games.Are the other events they have going on really worth paying almost twice as much?<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" />   Or am I the one thats out of it here.On top of that, with everything I read about the years GenCon, I have to wonder if it will be worth it.Disscussion would be appreciated. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Also I have a few questions for those that are in the know...1. What are the hours of the convention?  Will gaming areas be open the entire duration of the con, IE 24 hours a day?2. What is the longest slot you can set up for a con sponsered game?JDragonEdit to add ?'s about con.</blockquote>
