Not only is $90 less than what was charged the first year, they sold out the room in the first year, and a few attendees were desperate to pay even more to get in when some people cancelled their tickets

>b, but it's cheaper than the previous year
Well congratulations for being slightly less retarded. I get it, the hotel is being a douchebag about it, which is why the correct answer is to not comply. I'm all for supporting the horses, and the hotel is getting their due by way of the rooms, attendees, and all associable fees.
>anons are okay with it tho
Yes, there are plenty of anons with more money than sense. Did you hear how fast the Mare Schizo tier sold out this year? Regardless, $90 for fucking tendies and spaghetti is fucking ABSURD on all levels. What, are they flying the spaghetti in from italy?

It took nearly a week for it to sell this year, previous years it sold almost instantly, it was also cheaper this year iirc.

agreed but if it's such a big deal to you just don't go

Are you mental? I registered in under 2 hours, and all that was available was "Mare Enjoyer".

And more to that point, Mare Schizo sold last year in 3 seconds.

And just to further validate that point, 1 month before registration even BEGAN, approximately 250 con attendees already booked their room (am one of them).

As someone who had to fight with the F5 key to get a Mare Enthusiast badge, I distinctly remember the Mare Schizo taking a few days to sell (not surprising considering the 15.5K price tag)

I don't know what to tell you then. I would have registered a higher tier if I could have, and when I went to register "Enjoyer" was the only one NOT sold out.

Nah, you'll have to figure out and reach out to each vendor individually, perhaps stalk their social media or look in store sites for emails
Or ask the vendor lead if he'd be willing to write a one time email to all vendors
But that shit could be annoying to some vendors, so not sure what they'd say

>F&B minimum
Than sell more tendies dinner tickets, this will lead to more faces needing to be fed and in turn more money spent for food by Snowpity and in turn meeting the minimum requirements.
Unless the hotel is expecting a 2000+ attendees, if this is the case, than they can eat a bag of dicks.

Pardon me for engaging a bit of schizo, but you can easily reach through the ether to grasp the motivation; the hotel is adjacent to a convention center, their MO is to fleece the customer for all they can, banking (literally) on deep pockets and not alot of questions asked. I'm sure it works, but not this time.

Nono, re-read it. IT says previous years there HAS been an F&B minimum, but this year there ISN'T, it's a flat rate per head.
Which is where I draw umbrage from. It doesn't matter how many tickets are sold, Fallen Oak only gets $10-15 per head. Just because it's a "charity" dinner and "special occasion" is how the hotel can get away with that kind of shit.

Oh, I'm gonna be on about this for a while. I've been crunching the numbers. Here's the facts.
At scale, a real cost breakdown looks like:
Pasta: $0.40–$0.70 per person
Sauce (canned passata + aromatics): $1–2 per person tops
Breaded chicken: $2–3 per person, if you're being generous
Bread: Pennies, unless they’re gilding it with saffron (they’re not)
Staff time: already budgeted into hotel banquet overhead
Overhead: already built into the contract (electricity, room, gear, etc.)
They’re charging charity donors $75 for something that costs them less than $10–12 per head, even with markup, waste, spoilage, and labor accounted for.

Oh, I see, in that case fuck the fancy dinner style set up, Mare Fair should just rent out a day at some mom-n-pop burger joint restaurant that's within 15m driving distance and let people enjoy meal together without wasting it on the "presentation".
Fuck hotel and fuck "we did it last year so it's tradition now", I would be equally happy with some basic open air grill and hotdogs if it meant it kept the charity or convention afload, but seeing them wanting to piss away the money just for the sake of it is just annoying.

I'm with you there except for
>drive
Most people are flying in, transportation is tough even if there's shuttles and shit. The biggest benefit of the hotel dinner is that it's right there and there's always an open bar. Also to be clear the hotel charity dinners, as with most catered events like this, are all-you-can-eat (plus the open bar), not just one plate of spaghetti and tendies; I'm afraid your number autism is probably rather off the mark, though it's safe to assume it's a rip-off either way.

Let's go this route. $20 at a mom-and-pops is gonna get you well fed, and $30 is gonna get you stuffed. That leaves $60-70 to the charity.
I can break down what the hotel is trying to do, beyond what I have so far, but the end result is the same: a curious fixation with small hats.

Time has gone so fast, it's almost like the last Mare Fair thread was a week ago.
I'm curious if there will be another tulpa panel this time around.
Is anyone here looking forward to anything in particular? I've always wanted to visit Mare Fair, but I'm averse to large gatherings of people.
Still, it's nice to read threads such as these and live vicariously through what other users experience.
