Because their target demographic is preadolescent children, who don’t get how much 500 dollars really is, and probably have wealthy-ish parents who can afford it, or at least parents who didn’t know it would be a rip-off.

My feeling is, if you're gonna sell tickets at premium prices, then the only unique attraction CANNOT simply be a meet and greet with you. To have everything they went through with the pricing, and the claims of selling out, or selling thousands of tickets... and then draw such small crowds is ridiculous.

I swear Austin said at one point the parking, food and rides would be free. So, what happened to the food and parking being "free"? I mean, obviously it's not free, it would just be inclusive with ticket purchases, which would be expected at those prices. At lease the kids had a good time. They're easy to please most of the time anyway, but it's disappointing with how little was there for how much tickets cost.

Like honestly if they had figured out some way to assign time slots for the meet and greet so those poor kids who were there to do the meet and greet could have gone and enjoyed the carnival and still ACTUALLY met the Ace Family.

They probably also opened with package deals to inflate attendance numbers. Those numbers are important for attracting/retaining investors and vendors as well as future show prospects. "We ran an event with 5k attendees" sounds more impressive than "We sold 2k packages/tickets"

Your information is actually relevant rather than creating tense moments for the sake of it ie wasting time just to call austin a scammer and getting kicked out lol I'd love if less content creators went to these things (aka giving money to these people) just for a few clips of them acting superior. which again, isn't what you're doing at all. i'm so tired of other creators making things for almost....no reason? there's no point in watching other tanacon videos for example because yours cover way more and you actually give a shit about information. honestly would have been interested in hearing from the families who were attending, asking questions like who watches the ACE Family, if the parents watch at all etc. It still is very strange how youtube has them as a channel after it came out their subscribers and comments were bought (something that wasn't much of a surprise).
