I noticed that the ticket prices have increased. :(

2012 Ticket information:
Basic: $20 for a single day pass

Deluxe: $30 for a 2 day pass

2013 Ticket information:
Basic: $30 for a single day pass

Deluxe: $49 for a 2 day pass



For 2013, they've also added a premium pass:

$79 for a 2 day pass that includes:

Fan Expo Vancouver T-Shirt
The Fan Expo Vancouver Bag
Fan Expo Vancouver Collectible Badge
Exclusive Entrance
Exclusive Ticket Counter

Is this worth getting?

Stan Lee is coming to Vancouver! He is a guest at Fan Expo Vancouver 2013!!:clapping::D

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013
 

BOOOO!!!

Ah, WTF. I guess that's what happens when it turns out to be more popular than expected. But Stan Lee? Awesome. I had a lot of fun last time, so I'm totally up for it again. I just don't know if I'd get the weekend pass. The $79 package is not worth getting, IMO. You'll get a Tshirt you'd probably only wear during laundry day, a badge that you'd... never wear. Exclusive Entrance and ticket counter seem pointless. It would be better if they offered an exclusive action figure with that package... maybe when the expo gets bigger they can have exclusive toys, haha.

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013
 

Yeah, it sucks that they raised the ticket prices.:( I don't think I'll get the weekend pass either. Most likely I'll just go on the Saturday again unless they have some awesome panel that I want to attend on the Sunday.

The $79 premium pass is kind of weak. The stuff they included so far isn't what I expected with a premium pass. I agree with you on the exclusive figure. It would have been awesome if they had one.:D I was also thinking along the lines that the pass would include an autograph and or photo with a celebrity guest of your choosing. I would definitely pay $79 for that. :D

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013
 

Hmmm... the guest list isn't that hot. Shame Davis cancelled, but I'd be interested in Finch, Adams and Pia. I'll still be there I think. Maybe just for one day. Last year I sort of went there without a plan. This year, I'll be going there with a specific list of things I want to try and buy.

Re: Fan Expo Vancouver 2013
 

Yeah, I agree. I think the guest list last year was better at least for comic artists. I'll most likely go for Finch, Adams, Epting, and Jimenez. I have blank comic covers for each one of those guys to doodle on. LOL! I'm just wondering how much they will be charging for commission (if they do commission at all). :D And of course, gotta see Stan Lee (hopefully).

Yeah, a plan really comes in handy. I had a plan last year and it worked out quite well. :D I just wish Fan Expo Vancouver would hurry up with their schedule though. I need to plan on which day to attend.
