If they fund raise outside the admission cost, which by the way should fund the convention unto itself, that's fine. But to wrap the fundraiser on TOP of admission and then force folks who don't want the fundraiser to pay $210 for the privilege of a dinner and standing in the front of the line...nope, never been a fan of this set-up. I really hoped fans would push back against it back in 2005...they didn't...too bad. It's taken 11 years to finally, MAYBE, right the ship in terms of cost.

 

It's also the incentive to attend, if you can make it, to do all the extra stuff at the convention for the same price.

I personally prefer the pre-FunPub format of having the one (less confusing) admission fee and then add on items like the toys, class, tours, etc. After 12 years of FunPub BotCons we still had people regularly asking for explanations of the different registration names and what each covered.
And if they had done a single admission fee with add-on items and still needed the incentive to attend, just charge more for the toys to non-attendees, that is still less than the admission price.
