A poll from rockgoddes - please pass it around and send all responses to her

Okay, folks, I need some info here and this seems to be a good way to do this. I would like to ask all of my friends to pass this entry around to their friends and ask them to pass it around to THEIR friends, etc., etc., especially out of Buffy fandom. I need more information than just from Buffy fandom, so other TV show and movie fandoms are important too. As well as gamers, RPG'ers, sports people, etc., etc. Thanks!

I'm not gonna do a cut on this, I want this very easy to see and answer, so here we go.

My questions are about conventions.

1) Have you ever been or are you planning to go to any kind of convention? (Fan convention based on a TV show or movie, fan convention based on a genre of shows/movies, anime convention, gaming convention, sports convention, etc.) If so, how many have you been to or are you planning to go to?

2) If you have been to one in the past, was it in the same country you live in or was it in a different country? If you're planning to go to one, is it in the same country you live in or a different country?

3) If you were ABLE to go to another country to go to a convention, would you? Why or why not?

4) What do you go to conventions for - seeing your favourite celebrities, hanging out with your friends, traveling to a different city? Please tell me ALL the reasons you go to them in the order of most important to least important.

5) If you've never been and aren't really thinking about it, is there anything that would entice you to go to a convention in your native country? In another country?

6) If you've been going to conventions for awhile, have you noticed any changes in conventions in the past few years? If so, what have they been? If not, why do you think that is?

7) What is the most you'd pay for each of the following ticket levels (note: these are very broad generalizations in terms of row numbers, etc.):

a) Seat in the first ten rows for all guest talks, being within the first hundred people getting autographs, guaranteed 1 autograph from each guest, entry to all special events like meet & greets, parties, etc., entry to all convention programming like dances, panels, video rooms, as well as the dealer's room, etc.

b) Seat in the next ten-twenty rows, being within the next couple hundred people getting autographs, guaranteed 1 autograph from each of the MAIN guests, entry to all convention programming like dances, panels, video rooms, as well as the dealer's room, etc.

c) Seat in the next twenty-fifty rows, opportunity to get an autograph from each of the main guests (no guarantees, it would depend on how fast the first two levels of ticket-holders get through the line), entry to all convention programming like dances, panels, video rooms, as well as the dealer's room, etc.

9) What is THE #1 most important thing to you about a convention? (Meeting the celebrities, seeing your friends, etc.)

10) Is it more important to you that a convention be fan-run or run by a professional company? Why is that more important to you than the other?

Thanks, folks, please pass this around!
