Doesn't seem like it's going to let up in the future either.

The prices just keep going up and it's not worth it to me when you pay for a spectacle rather than an all out gaming experience. <br /><br />I agree about going digital for all tickets. A scanned barcode system from your phone is far more ideal. I would be really upset if I was in your spot for the SR Tournament too. So much more time saved from having to wait in line.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10052536158711215700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000779532685249867.post-61159579653915650032016-08-10T21:42:15.578-04:002016-08-10T21:42:15.578-04:00I decided not to go this year and it looks like I ...I decided not to go this year and it looks like I dodged a bullet with that line too. I agree they should just go all digital at this point. Too many attendees, and not enough upkeep to handle the demand. Something needs to change.

I'm really confused by the second portion of your response though. Are you talking about the outfitter booths and the art show? You can't turn around at a place like Gen Con without seeing another board game. Not to mention, all of the gaming that takes place throughout the event hall's like the Star Realms Tournament that I mentioned I was supposed to be in this year. I think the board gaming aspect is as strong as it's ever been.Boards and Brewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08573264941679983214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5000779532685249867.post-69339232682096603762016-08-10T09:09:33.630-04:002016-08-10T09:09:33.630-04:00The price increase is what concerns me.
