They should charge everyone the same fee to attend, if they aren't selling enough badges then maybe they should lower prices or provide more value?

By the way...we left our affiliate program 6 years ago. So I no longer am part of that.
My paysite runs off of my own social media promoting.
As for being an affiliate...yeah, there ain't nothing left there anymore.
But I still update 10 different free sites by hand and put in my work as an affiliate every day. Also use our social media platforms to promote as an affiliate.
I am as authentic an affiliate as there has ever been.
And yeah...the price is way too high for the value provided.
Hell, last year the entire AVN show was in a fucking perma-tent attached to the side of Resorts World and was about 1/4 the size of the 2001 Internext show.
And the Internext "show" itself was a small partitioned off "room" in the tent with a few couches in it.
Hopefully it's on the rebound this year since they will have the old "The Joint" space again at The Virgin (formerly the Hard Rock).
But no...I guess we won't be going. There's no way that 2 tickets costing a total of $700 is worth that.
