Canada's FanExpo 2010
Has anyone ever been to one? It takes place on August 27-29th. Thinking about going to this one, but was wondering how good it is?
How much do they charge to get in?
Anyone have any info?
Thanks!

It's a huge con. You can buy a 3 day pass for about $45.00 CAD. It gets pretty packed. VIP pass was around $95.00

I've been to a couple. In Canada, that's as big a con as you're going to get. Good times to be had too! However, I stopped going once Perny became part of it. At that point, it seemed like they'd put anyone on the guest list.

Going for the First time, Was surprised the Hotel was soo much cheaper to get than the SDCC Hotels were! Would you know if the Convention as big as the SDCC? And what does the VIP get you?

Nothing is as big as SDCC. Maybe compare Fan Expo to th size of WWChicago. Not sure what the VIP pass will give this year but last year they gave out grab bags that had limited edition prints and con variant comics. The info will be posted on the official site soon enough.

SDCC gets about 150k people, Fan Expo gets about 45k I believe. It's a very large convention, SDCC just dwarfs everything.
I've been two or three times, I always enjoy it. It's pretty crowded but there's tons of artists and guests.
