Hey Guys
Just doing some research on all the shows this year and I was shocked when I went across the Transworld Page and saw this....Again, This is DIRECTLY from the REGISTER PAGE on TRANSWORLDS Site....Not some rumor Ive heard
Welcome to Registration for the 17th Annual Halloween & Attractions Show (and 28th Annual International Halloween, Costume & Party Show)!
The cost to attend this event is $50.00 per person in advance and includes 4 day access to the show floor featuring The Dark Zone, The Interactive Haunted House, make-up demos on the show floor, Key Note Address Friday morning, opening night party on Thursday , industry expert panel discussion on Saturday night and one early bird seminar Saturday morning. Register today to take advantage of preshow pricing. On site fee is $60.00 per person. Haunt Tours, seminars and workshop tickets are available for an additional cost. Please visit our seminars and events page for dates and times.
So as you can see, they will be charging a $50 entrance fee per person. Now while some will say $50 bucks isn't bad, not everyone can afford it to go the the biggest show in the industry. Some haunts (Charity and Home Haunts) will not be able to come up with the funds to attend this show. Causing the numbers to drop off and the vendors not getting the foot traffic/orders that they've become use too. How do you guys feel as haunt owners feel about the charge? And before you say it...I know some people will argue that I shouldn't be there because I don't own a haunt, therefore making my opinion null and void. However, While I do attend Transworld every year (To get myself booked) I NEVER waste any vendors time or take a catalog that I don't plan on ordering from.
