Why did this year's eternal member registration start 30 minutes to 1 hour after onsite and other registrations had already opened.? I  was under the impression that eternals are considered VIPs. Granted our line was not long; but, it is kind of sad that onsite registration opened before the eternal registration line did. This meant that people just walking in off the street were done before our door was even open.

This will be the 3rd year in a row that something has gone wrong in the eternal registration line whether it was computer problems or a delay in registration or other issues.

So basically what i am askin is just what is the benefit of being an eternal????

Did you notice that Eternal Memberships went up to $1000? Egads that is a bit ridiculous.

I'm so sad. When I started going in '96 it was still $250, but I was a teenager and wasn't able to afford it. Now that I could see dropping the money for it it's gone up to $1000 and I can't see paying that, especially when it's usually $50 when you register at the con for next year. I'd have to go for 20 years to get my money's worth!

Yeah, I wish I had been able to afford eternal in the 90s. There is no way I would buy it now.

That's EXACTLY what I just said in another comment. I don't even know if I'll still WANT to go to conventions in 20 years, or can afford the hotel and airfare. :(
