Of the 600 Premium tickets, ALL have sold! :toot:

Of the 1800 Standard tickets, 537 have sold! :negative:

Wait, do they usually sell 2,400 tickets to citizencons? I never paid attention before but those theaters they keep renting seem to only seat like a couple hundred people max. Are they going all out this year?

2,400 seems like a lot to me too, both for theater size, and amount of people willing to pay to travel long distances to a marketing event.

Ever heard of Blizzcon? 35,000 people last year. Tickets tend to sell out in a matter of seconds.

They've had to expand the Anaheim Convention Center several times, just for Blizzcon.

My "call it" will be that in the far future, all that the name Star Citizen will ever be used for is a low effort troll post.
Like, you know how nowadays some particular lazy bum might say something like this to get a reaction?

quote:

Battlefront has perfectly fair multiplayer. It's not EA's problem you're too much of a poor, stingy bastard to pay for a proper, intended multiplayer experience. Maybe you should consider getting a real job so you can afford to play real games?

Well, that's really all that Star Citizen will be used for. Even though goons have developed a lot of memes over the years, nothing has really seeped into popular culture. So I doubt this game will even reach the ironic memetic potential of Daikatana's bitch-making . Even the JPEG sale will lose its meaning over time. No, the only way Star Citizen will ever pop up is in one of these :

quote:

Man, it's a shame Star Citizen never got made. That game really was all set to be the greatest game ever made. Too bad you poor trailer trash couldn't afford to drop a few bucks on a groundbreaking game. But what can you except when you stingy bastards get your games from the Indie Humble Bundle for a cent :)) . Maybe if more real, successful gamers would've pitched, we would have real games. But hey, go back to playing Destiny 3, so Bungie can keep stealth-nerfing your xp.
You're the reason gaming died last generation. So , enjoy it, losers

The point isn't that there is an abundance of idiot nerds it's that CIG quadrupled the size of their 2017 convention which seemed odd. I don't think interest in the game has grown at all.

It isn't because they are in the US this year either because their past conventions in California at the height of the autistic fervor for spaceships weren't half this big.

Maybe it's just what venues are available at each location each year but I'll throw out the baseless speculation that they need to increase the amount of marks to scam in person. You get nerds whipped into a frenzy because they are meeting their hero and with an excited crowd so they are probably more likely to buy the spaceships you are going to be advertising to them with literal commercials during the presentation.

I don't think anyone keeps track but I'd be curious to see how MLM scams evolve and if they also would expand the quantity of potential marks to address cash flow issues.
