Don't assume people who are shelling out $200 for this are doing it because it's just fun -- they find value in it, even if you don't. You just seemed extremely critical of anyone who was willing to pay the amount for a photoshoot and now seem to be retracting because "they seem to understand what they're paying for." They're paying to meet Patrick Stewart, and get professional photos with him ... so what if it's more than what you'd pay? Just let people be and don't try to be their financial advisor.
Also, I'm not saying that you don't work hard for your money -- what I am saying is that because I work hard for my money and because, well, it is my money, that I should be entitled to do whatever I want with it without someone telling me to spend it "with open eyes." How would you feel if I jumped in and told you shouldn't be going to Dragon*Con if you feel like the economy is placing a burden on your financial accounts? Probably pretty offended.
