Those seats ARE expensive. They're only worth it if you've got a great seat but otherwise, I think they're a bum deal. I really hated Gatecon's method, which was to kick everyone out half way through the day. If you wanted a good afternoon seat on the day Michael, Christopher, and Amanda were there, you HAD to skip the entire morning's schedule and sit in line instead. I'm old, I'm employed, I'm a curmudgeon. I want my damned seat. :|
