- disclaimer: i'm not on the arisia concom this year. i don't speak
- for etc. etc.
-
- in spite of persistant rumors, arisia has yet to sell out a convention
- completely. this might have something to do with a recession.
- anyway, i would suggest until further notice disregarding any
- indications that arisia might sell out. obviously preregistering is
- less expensive and more certain for you and better for the concom, but
- it appears that arisia paid attendance will be around 1200 this year.
- furthermore, preregistration closes 6 weeks before the con. if you
- send them money, you should send them the at door price anyway.
-
- basis of this projection: i ran registration this year. arisia's
- percentage of prereg to walk-in is about 60-40. last prereg numbers
- were 800. note that non-paid members aren't included in the 1500
- count either.
-
- more blathering from the society for recovering concom members.
