*Pats your shoulder*

I still can't believe their off by that many tables.
nor would they add tables, That is a BIG lost to them.

At the Train Club's Show we Would Be jumping up and down to fill 20 tables and then be needing more tables.

likely because they can't add more tables due to fire laws

I just can't see such poor planing at a National Show like this.

actually AC is very well run in my opinion. The con is in negotiations to move into Hall A , the largest part of the con.

Having been a part of the CACE con committee, there are a lot of things con chairs and staff have limited control over.

You don't always know how many people are coming. You can guess based on past numbers (if you have them) and pre-registration, but it's a guessing game.

You have to balance the space between dealers (people who pay to set up shop) vs. alley (who pay nothing or only a token daily fee). Guess who you are likely to favor since dealers bring in the most money to the house? Also, there is the issue of local sales tax laws. Dealers have to do their own permits and sales tax collection while most alleys have to tie up staff and resources doing collection and the taxes. While in some cases it can bring in some money for the house if the con charges a modest cut off the top as a fee, often it's a voluntary service.

then you have to put up with the limitations of the venue due to house policies and local ordinences, You can't have more than a certain amount of people in an area, tables must be spaced apart by x amount of feet, etc. This is to allow security and emergency services through if someone keels over or, in case of a fire or other disaster, to avoid blocking exits and getting people trapped or trampled.

Ok, I missed under stood that Artist ally wasn't the same as the Vendors.

..."And knowing is half the battle"

Sorry to hear it. Hope you make a profit at the con.

lazy brony! ;P

Allrighty then, good luck...

Bleh.

Would be nice if you could get the art of mine done (that or a refund...which I would perfer right now.) =/

But I'm sorry I did not see you at any time this year.
