Rose McGowan pricing (& Vampire Diaries)

[nightwing22dg.livejournal.com]

I was pretty excited to see Rose McGowan added to the guest list tonight over on Facebook. I did some digging with Google, and found her Autograph & Photo prices along with the Vampire Diaries people.

The Facebook page lists guests before the website? Can you link me please?

Thank you.

Wow..

I wish they'd get Prue and Piper!!

From their facebook page:

Dragon*Con is excited to announce the addition of Rose McGowan, perhaps best known for her work in Charmed, Grindhouse, and most recently Conan the Barbarian, to the 2012 guest list. Rose will be appearing Saturday and Sunday, courtesy of Celebrity Authentics.

I have to admit though, I'm not as excited after seeing that Rose is charging $45 per autograph. That is kind of out of my range. I would pay $30. But I only pick maybe 2 in the Walk of Fame every year since I also spend money in Artist Alley as a big comic book fan.

I feel weird about the whole buying tickets for autographs. I've been to cons that did this exclusively for all their guests.

I like that I can preorder them, because it does kind of suck not knowing how much to save for a certain autograph when you don't know how much they will be once you get to the Walk of Fame. But I dislike that they can sell out. But I guess that's good too, that means the lines won't be so bad? Maybe?

I do worry about ... what if a guest cancels? How do I get my money back? I looked around on their site for that info but couldn't find it.

And, yeah. Autograph prices have gotten ridiculous over the years. Going to Dragon*Con I've seen guests that cost $30-40, that only charge $20-25 at smaller cons! Crazy.

And, are they going to add more guests? Or are the extra guests they were talking about adding the rest of TVD guests and Rose McGowan?

[nightwing22dg.livejournal.com]

I'm guessing that the extra guests they are adding are the TVD guests that they announced on Facebook the day after they said they were adding guests. But who knows.

I know I can't be the only one who doesn't spend much time in the Walk of Fame anymore because of the high autograph prices. It used to be so packed with people that I couldn't move. But I remember last year, hardly anyone had a line except for True Blood & Carrie Fisher. And I saw where they put Carrie Fisher in with everyone else in the regular Walk of Fame instead of her own floor like they originally planned. Guess they found out the line wouldn't be as long as they thought at $60 each. Guests would most likely make more money if they charged less, but I'm guessing it has something with how a big a name they are comparing to what others in the room are charging.

The most I ever paid for an autograph (other than the two comics by Stan Lee) was $40 for Billy Dee Williams at the one and only Wizard World Atlanta. I can't imagine anyone (other than Stan) I'd pay more for.

I really respect Michael Rosenbaum last year signing for $20. I got my Justice League animated DVD signed for $10 less than he was charging the last time he came to DragonCon.

I like to pre-order to. It makes it easier to pay and get it out of way while I have to money on hand to pay for it.

Yes, you will get your money back if they cancel. I dealt with them before. They were bringing in guest for a con in NYC and they cancel. A few weeks later they sent me a check of the total cost. You may just have to e-mail them to let them know that you purchase a ticket.

Many of the guests give the money they make from autographs to their preferred charity instead of their pockets. Not all do this, but some do. It's just something to keep in mind.
