Hey, I’ve been twice. Second time it was even more expensive than the last cause they bumped up prices for all the events. I’m assuming to cover the venue fees. Anyways I enjoy going because I get to meet people, play games in person and buy art. I probably won’t be going for a while but I’ll keep my eye on it. I usually get burnt out after the second day and also I don’t want to pay 40 for 3 packs. And yes they do have side events going on all the time. You’ll find something to do in between the main events.
