>Anon, it's explicitly a charity event dinner.
Huh, that must be why I made that a foremost concession here >>8199
It's still a silly and inefficient price to pay given what's offered.

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.

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.

Direct from Snowpity:
>First two years, 100% went to charity
>This year, we're aiming at $10-15 per plate

>There's a big reason for this: This is the first year we don't have a F&B minimum with the hotel, so while first two years dinner was a sunk cost to hold the con, this year it's 100% cost

Once you're approved, you'll be invited to a dicksword with the other vendors, could be a good opportunity to ask for participants
Then just fill out a panel app

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

No, of course you wouldn't. With a little planning, you can have all-you-can-eat CRAB for $30, also for charity. No, the spaghetti is NOT justified, die in a fire you jewish-ass hotel caterers.

>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 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.

>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.

His might be, but mine isn't.

There's a lake-side RIGHT THERE, it doesn't have to be complicated. Just a bunch of horsefuckers deciding to occupy this area of the beach.
And this is just brainstorming, this is without planning.

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.

Hypothetically speaking, I'm just a loud-mouthed asshole with zero sayon anything.

Technically, this is all in support of the buffet, which was $40/head. Literally, that's the most obvious cost-effective option
