I am seeing people selling 4 day passes for next to nothing. Wondering why so many people are deciding not to make the trip? Selfishly, I would love for it to be leas crowded but I do want it to be a successful event as well.

Anyone have a theory why people who have held onto their tickets for two years are now bailing?

Some people get badges just for the slots aka to get more possible winning entries, and then if they dont win they sell the badges that have no winners

Wow. That’s an expensive game when you consider that a 4
Day badge was $300 ish and today I have seen people selling them for as low as $40.

Not sure what happened but my comments are gone from the above reply-

I am surprised that people would buy extra 4 days when the resale value is extremely low. I have seen 4 day badges going for $40 today!

YUP it's like no one wants to go for the SW experience anymore, just stuff to flip!

I want to go to the panels...I'm not so interested in the Funkos this time around. I got Funko instead though. So I have to figure out what to do with that reservation.

Going in the booths will be a fun time regardless, if you miss it you might regret it.

No kidding. I mean, I'm a gambler usually but I like to have good odds

This is the level of financial stability I want in my life lol

. But that's insane, its a once in a lifetime experience, but gosh, this con is built different.

I really like the Luke Skywalker. There’s something cool about just having that classic look.

It's just a great look, I'm one for the classics also like that.

Today is day 1 of Star Wars Celebration. Looking forward to seeing what the Funko booth will be like!

Postby **Valde** » Thu May 26, 2022 9:31 am

Dang I sure hope that Obi Wan is still around if I get into the official shop.

Basically to pay for the con costs, majority of us have not much choice but to buy extra Pops and collectibles to flip! Nature of the beast I suppose!

Purely speculation, I’d say it’s not a strong programming block. No movies coming so folks don’t care? Although Disney plus has ALOT coming. I’d also say maybe with a turning economy people are limiting discretionary spending? Idk. Celebration never particularly drew me in and I’m a massive Star Wars nerd.

Looks like the Luke Soda and 5-pack didn’t make it in time for the Con.

Also, noticed that the shirt is not listed anymore - and upon checking Funko’s social (posts as well as the blog) is seems like the removed it there as well. Perhaps - it was not approved?

Postby **akagalar** » Thu May 26, 2022 4:23 pm

Hopefully it won't be to hard tomorrow, especially with how early it is for some of us folk.

I saw that and was super bummed since that's my top want from the con. I'll wake up at 6 AM to double check the Funko shop for a possible surprise drop.

Was wondering about this too, dang. It looks like so much didn't make it to con in time, too. Wonder if it's the good ol' supply chain at it again.
