[edit] History
In 2009, the cost of membership was listed as $255/person.[1]
On June 9, 2009, it was announced that only one "free" autograph would be included with the membership, and attendees had to reserve their free autograph of choice in advance (beginning June 19). There would be a limit of 2 autographs and one photo-op per attendee, and each guest would only do 65 photo-ops. Many fans were upset by this announcement, feeling they had been mislead on how the autographs and photos would be handled and given the cost of membership to the convention.[2]
On June 10, 2009, the official website for the convention posted the following news:
- We are happy to announce that Kellan’s scheduled appearance times have NOT changed. There was a conflict that might have prevented his arrival on Saturday but it has since been resolved. So don’t worry! He’ll be there! But make sure you get your chance to see him by signing up for the Photograph session, Saturday 10am-11am, while tickets are still available. [3]
