again... only the wealthy can afford to go to this. i am so pissed they are actually awarding in-game items at the event. it's 100% absurd. meh. oh wells. but stillnot sure if serious
Unless you live in Las Vegas, the travel and lodging costs will outweigh the actual event registration fee by a factor of at least 5-to-1. The ticket price (which is fairly reasonable regardless, given the cost associated with putting on an event of this scale) is a drop in the bucket compared with the total expense involved in a trip like this. Even if the tickets were free, it'd still be a pretty expensive proposition to go there.lol.

Dunno about this. I'm a college student, and I work at a job where I make ok money. I'm not at all wealthy, but booking the trip at the right place and even the flight can save you a tons of money. I'm saving up to go, so far I've managed to afford the hotel and have saved a bit for the tickets.My wallet will cry once it's all over, but if it's something you really wanna do it's worth it. It's the only vacation I'll get to take this year at any rate.
This. But then again the term "expensive" is very subjective. I don't look at $1000 being that expensive, because when I take vacations I normally save much more than that; others might see that number and squee in disgust.
Flights to Vegas are normally subsidized and are extremely cheap. In fact, Vegas is one of the cheapest places to fly in the US because the casinos pay premiums to the airline companies so the tickets to get there are as cheap as can be. Obviously they want all your other money
You also don't have to stay on the strip. You can find a much cheaper hotel that isn't connected to a casino and commute to the Rio for the days of the festival.
Me and my cousin looked it up and we shouldn't have to spend more than $500 each for the tickets/hotel/transportation, and in my eyes that is very inexpensive for something like this. But idk, that's just me.
Looking forward to seeing everyone in Vegas!!!!

Umm...This is not a new thing SE is doing by any means.
You get digital content for attending both Blizzcon and SOE Live each year.
It doesn't cost much to go to vegas unless you live paycheck to paycheck, you don't need to be rich to avoid a weekend there unless you try to gamble. SE isn't the first nor only company to award in-game items for going to their festivals/conventions, Blizzard does exactly the same with Blizzcon.
