Cons always seem better value when the guests/event themes are new.
I've done 3 Angel-based cons & they're getting a little stale now.
I was finding it hard to justify paying out for the 3rd one - at least the 1st & 2nd had different guests.
I'm also doing a 4th at the end of this year & I just know I'm gonna hibernate in the room, or possibly the talks (if I can be bothered ).
I know this will be my last Angel-based con.
I've also done 1 Alias-based con & that was the one that really stood out, mainly due to the fact that it was all so new - I had never been to a Wolf event or an Alias con.
Next year I have a Dead Like Me-based con.
Although I am excited about it, the fact that they've only booked 1 guest as yet is putting a bit of a damper on having to pay out the same amount of money as for all other cons.
I think each convention should be judged individually (or perhaps by the number there are/have been based on 1 show/around the same guests) & I don't think you (well, I can't) can say that all cons are a rip-off.
I hope all that makes sense - I was ranting in my head & not sure how much of it came out through my fingers
