Gold for sale - DallasCon

SOLD 




I wish I didn't have to say this, but... I'm selling my Gold ticket for DallasCon 2012.

When I bought it, I hoped I'd be able to go (even if it was a long shot), but since I didn't win the lottery (yeah, I was surprised about that, too), I just can't afford to go to Dallas this year. :(

Like I said, it's a Gold ticket, seat is C4, breakfast table 7. I'm selling it for $517 and accept only PayPal. When I receive the money, I'll e-mail you the PDF file.

It doesn't matter that my name is on the ticket. You don't have to change the name or notify Creation Ent. It's all about the bar code these days. Creation ppl don't check the name, they just scan the bar code. So you won't have any problems. And yes, I know that first-hand. ;)

In case you're wondering why I'm selling it like this and not on eBay, it's because of their limits and their fees. This would be the first item I'm selling, so I have a monthly limit of $500. And I guess, it's better this way since I won't have to pay eBay fees on top of PayPal fees. (Which are ridiculously high, BTW. *thumbs down*)

If you have any questions (about the ticket or about anything con related if you're a first time con-goer), you can ask them in the comment section. :)

No Texas for me this year

So, I'm definitely not going to Dallas this year. :(


I really wanted to go, but I just can't afford it. I mean, it was a long shot even when I bought the ticket, but I kinda hoped that I'd find a part-time job (or win the lottery) by now. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. So I can't go.

Guess it's time to sell my Gold ticket.

I'm just really :( right now.

Maybe next year, yeah?

The seat not chosen

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two seats offered on the seating chart, and I—
I was given the one less coveted by far,
And that has made all the difference.


(borrowed from Robert Frost)



I know what I said, but the truth is, if I go to Dallas, I'll be 5 paychecks in the red by October. And I probably can't afford that. Right?

However, I did buy me one of those Gold tickets, so I would have a good seat in case I actually manage to get a part-time job between now and, let's say, March. Yeah, yeah, I know. Hope springs infernal. *sigh*

So, to attend DallasCon or not to attend DallasCon? I knew that would be a difficult decision to make.

But maybe Creation decided that one for me.

They had problems with their website and I didn't get the seat I chose. And I neither want the one I got nor particularly like it.

Guess that made my decision easier. :(

Dallas??? No!!!

I've been telling myself forever, if there's another con in Dallas, I'm definitely going. Unfortunately, it looks like my definition of 'definitely' might be more something along the lines of 'when hell freezes over'. Cause, man, I really can't afford 3 cons in one year. And I'm not ready to give up JIB just yet. (BTW, why the hell are plane tickets to Dallas, in Sept, so expensive???)

If I really wanted to go, I'd have to forgo buying photo ops. And let's face it, photo ops are the reason I'm going. Well, that and fugly airplane food.
I'm probably kidding. :p
And I couldn't get any Meet&Greet tickets nor JIB's Dolce vita with Jared if they manage to get him again in 2012.
And I'm moving next year, so I'd have to live in a cold, dark apartment (but with wi-fi, I have my priorities) so I wouldn't spend huge amounts of money on utilities.

There's no way I can afford it.



BTW, y'all know I'm going, right? *sigh*
