Even if tickets were easy to get, it's too expensive if you have to fly.

And then hotel, and shopping, and meals out..

Well, for me I do that anyway but usually just Toronto. Train, stay a couple of nights, then come back.

I always feel like with the cost difference of a plane ticket though it's a waste if you don't stay all 3 or 4 days of a con, which is what really raises costs.

The date announcement seems to be going....poorly so maybe it'll mean a much more scaled down experience with much fewer people.

Yeah a lot of the industry people who would be there as guests are mad.

It's actually mostly not a pandemic thing directly, it's the Thanksgiving part.

A lot of them expect Thanksgiving to be the first family holiday they can get together again. Plus Thanksgiving is expensive as hell to travel.

It also ties the hands of vendors and stuff because they prioritize returns, so if they skip this one that's back of the line.
