that it gets kinda old. I'm trying to downsize and only add items to my collection that I really, really want. There's so much stuff at convention...and the table gifts thing got old (more stuff that I really didn't want).

I think it would be cool if there was a partial ticket...you could do the raffle room, see the competition room, do some workshops, but pass on the meals and the gifts. It wouldn't really require them to expand capacity (not more people at meals in ballroom), but it would be nice for people who live fairly close and would like to do some of the things. IMHO!
