This is hysterical: A person that wants to shop for a day at Ohana on the lake (like at every other con) is a "garbage person". How very welcoming, inclusive and Ohana of you! "No. There are no single-day tickets (apart from the Thursday night kick-off party). Your Ohana ticket is good for the entire weekend, and we only sell weekend tickets. I can make the case that even if you can only join us for one day, the ticket price is still well worth the value. If you don’t have a ticket, we ask that you please stay home and try to join us next year. Yes, there is security that will throw you out, and do you really want to be the kind of person who crashes a charity event? That person is a garbage person. Don’t be that person. You’re better than that."
This is rural upstate New York we are talking about.
Even the Palm Springs tiki con that brags about its off duty cops, MMA practicing security squad allows the public in free on Sunday!
Its charity because 100% of the proceeds are given away to charity and you're an IRS registered non profit?

I didn't find the term "garbage person" in this thread ahead of you, maybe it was edited out or deleted by the original poster?

In all cases, the event organizers own their event and with regard to pricing and tickets, for good or bad, their decisions are theirs alone. There has been some discussion that pricing has "gone too high," and that assessment is on each of us to weigh and make. That has also been discussed elsewhere here. So I don't see any need to go fishing for controversy -- it looks like it's been one year and nine months since the post before yours was made to this thread, LOL!

Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm scratching my head a bit, ha...

I'm worried that my "check liver" light will come on soon...
