400..........

Good question, I hope SC didn't ante up $300/contestant, that would be just insane.
WG

Out of curiosity...what time do the doors open up to guests? 3pm? 6pm?

they didn't. re: thurbs post

I feel sorry for the 800 other guys. :winkwink:

I just really don't understand how they wouldn't just take a minute to figure it out. I mean it went to 8 pages which i really didn't even expect.

all I have to say any show after this who charges me to have girls in a hotel I paid for I'm coming solo to network for about an hour then ditching to party with my friends and girls.

sticking the sponsors all the time to pay for everything is wrong. Its not 1999 anymore margins a tight. plus there is a show like every month now

Yeah....

:Oh crap

LMAO :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

OMFG!!! :helpme

Roger... you created one monster of a thread my man.

hah .. I have no clue if we paid or not, I just said im gonna be out there hustlin to get the womens in :)

my post was more to confirm there will be a bikini contest :thumbsup

Looking forward to seeing you Rog... Whatever the outcome I know we will end up having a good time. :thumbsup

Maybe this is all an honest mistake. Perhaps AVN thinks this is supposed to be a GAYVN event?

Oh, come on... Like you haven't dressed up like a cabana boy before.

Looks like your next on the list. make sure not to wear any panties when i show up to your room :pimp

We are talking about webmasters here.... let's be more realistic. :winkwink:

Thats great I wanna be a judge again :thumbsup

Oh my god I just hit the floor :1orglaugh

I will still be attending and I am happy that there is a charge for a badge and that badges are required to get into the hotel.

I do think that there is a happy medium that can be reached for girls that people would like to bring to the hotel during the day for eye candy by the pool and in other places.

AVN had to do someting to get rid of the mooch factor for sure. Not to say that I personally didn't get business done with someone that was around based on Mooch factor at one point in time. But at the same time to get on the show floor and to the seminars there still needs to be a charge for the ability to attend these portions of the event. So I see no reason that the full badge shouldn't cover this event and then there be an alternative to this option for people who want to come hang out by the pool or in the lobby.

I think a good solution has been come up with for the evening guest passes but I think that something similar even a small charge during the day to be able to come and hang out by the pool, meet new people, and enjoy free drinks and a lunch. I mean is it really going to kill someone to pay $30 to $50 bucks to be able to hang out at the hotel all day and eat and drink for free?

Question to Aly would be what is considered evening? For the quest passes? Since the show floor closes at 3pm does that mean the guest passes are going to start being handed out at that time?

Also in the evening are there going to be wristbands or do I just show my room key to get back into the hotel. I am not sure about everyone else, but I usually do not wear my badge 24 hours a day. You may think about using a wristband system like an all inclusive resort does to save us having to have our badges on us at all times.

Please let us know the guest pass hours...

Panties? What are panties?

Aren't you going to the Tampa Webmaster Gathering tomorrow night?

Only at your sexy ladies request. "more lotion ms vanilla?" :winkwink:

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Since this thread seems to be getting responses:

The hotel is sold out. I don't have a room, any advice on where I should stay?

Did you tell them that you are attending Internext convention? The hotel is blocked for anyone not telling them this.
WG

Yeah, he said that the block for Internext was sold out. So I asked if there was anything outside of the block, and he checked and said no. He said there might be some suites available.
Does my badge entitle me to sleep in the conference room? :thumbsup

I think we are sponsoring the dinner :winkwink: yes I will be there without any underwear on

I agree about getting rid of the moochers

$30-$50 is fine even though we all know how much they are making off of us with everything else and I'm not going into detail lets just say trade shows are very profitable.

We as Sponsors are always getting called out on shit . One time we ask for someone to bend and we get shafted.

I love GFY!!
SOOOOOO FUCKING FUNNY

AVN and GAYVN have merged?
Thank G-d I won't be anywhere near that pool in my banana hammock :pimp

I know LA MIKE and Roger's Asses are in big trouble around that pool!!

LOL

Just get so drunk and pass out in a couch..that's what I do.. :1orglaugh :thumbsup

The "block" for Internext? What is going on here? I thoiught that we had the whole hotel...Doesn't seem as tho any of these rules we are talking about can be implemented if we only have a "block" of rooms....WHAT'S GOING ON HERE!?!?!? I am soooooooo confused!

your girlfriend is the penthouse Pet of the year. You don't need to worry LOL

I'm going to hide behind BT or LA mike :1orglaugh

I agree, eye candy is a must.

however with that said, I am actually lloking to meet business people not just eye candy. I dont really care about getting drunk and fucking hookers, i wanna talk to people with Traffic, with new technology, with paysites that convert etc....

I agree with eric, there needs to be a happy medium.

I like the 30 dollar a day guest pool pass idea. and if you are worried about moochers using this to get in, then make it so only a sponsor can pay for a pool guest pass, and not just an attendee.

If an attendee wants to pay for a pass for say a girlfriend, or some model or something like that, then make it so they are all approved by AVn before they can recieve a pass. it is really quite simple actually

sherie,

Internext has a block of rooms, the block is all rooms of the hotel. And the whole hotel is sold out. (998 rooms)

Aly

I take quite an exception to the fact that Sponsors are given extra badges

REAL NUMBERS
CCBILL Purchased two pool side Cabanas at a cost or 5K a piece. That is 10K in sponsorship dollars. For that we got 8 passes. and ability to buy 8 more passes for $150.00 This is not a huge number of passes.

Realize CCbill/CCbillEU/Cavecreek/DRMnetworks have over 14 people coming and only 1 is female and that is my Sister. So we will spend North of 50K on Rooms/Travel/Sponsorships alone. That does not even include the Cristal bills in South Beach

MY PRIMARY REASON FOR WANTING TALENT running around is so that this does not happen.

The guys sit around most of the day at the pool drinking with no girls and they start saying hey lets go to South Beach tonight because there are no girls to TRY to hit on. Then the Evening Partys turn into a bust and my 12 Staff members do not have anyone to network and sell to.

Bradshaw is correct this is not about girls and partying but this is about keeping the right enviroment so people are happy and NETWORKING/BUSINESS can be done.

SOLUTION

Give females a choice an ALL ACCESS Badge for $300 or a Pink POOL LOBBY badge for free.

So AVN has to refund what 50 or 100 max badges for $30,000K That is nothing compared to damage the 5000 posts on this board will do when they talk about the FLORDIA SAUSAGE FEST. How many people will not come next year after hearing that??

PRECEPTION IS REALITY

Ron C
















If you don't allow eye

Phewsh! Thanks for clearing that up for me. It did sound like we only had a "block" when it was explained with regards to guest services.

I'm starting to believe KB that they really don't give a shit..

the support we have given them over the years and they just keep tightening the screws on us. I don't get it.

ROFLMAO I have tears.

[QUOTE=RogerV]I feel sorry for the 800 other guys. :winkwink:


You are so correct this is not about if we will have girls with us to party at night. That is a GIVEN. Just look at the pics Sweet T post from last year. This is about making sure the other 800 guys stay somewhat together so EVERY COMPANY can Network together.

Ron C

I know I about fell out of my chair :1orglaugh

I better wax my back

[QUOTE=RonC]And thats what its all about. :thumbsup I get laid on a daily bases so the girls I bring are not all for me. Notice I say all :winkwink:

The 3 greatest words of advice in business, EVER!

[QUOTE=RogerV]I remember a pretty little blonde from Cancun (will not say her name here) that did not mind sharing you:)

Yes I can not wait till the boys all get back together in FL.

Take Note AVN the Adult ONLINE Industry Leaders are WATCHING

Ron C

most of us are already taking the risk and investing our trust into AVN to pull this off. there won't be a next year if this year isn't worth the extra$$

think ibill

This thread snuck up on me, so I haven't read it. But the funny thing is that for the AVN Awards Show, we found out last time that they issue FREE talent passes for active female talent. And others have to pay. Wish we new that in year's past, because I was not letting some of our staff go so we could have some eye candy in our limited amount of spots.

I AM RIGHT
and you know what it makews me feel really good inside when after mos of barking and yelling the BIG DOGS have spoken...
I love when Ron C , Lensman, or Tony Morgan talk-

It's starting to give me more credibility
and only ascertains what I already have stated-

AVN DOES NOT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT ANY OF YOU.
PERIOD.

If they did they would POST ON THIS BOARD-
and not have ALY in the direct line of fire everyday and night

Two things will come of this I guarantee-
Either ALy will finally realize she has virtually NO SAY in anything that goes down there and quit-
Or chicks will allowed on the premises for next to nothing-

I can't wait to see how this shakes out

AVN The REAL PLAYERS HAVE SPOKEN

and guess what?

THESE GUYS ARE YOUR BIGGEST ADVERTISERS.

AVN YOU ARE A BUNCH OF STUPID BUSINESSMEN

The internet is slowly pulling away from you-
YOU NO LONGER HAVE ANY PULL WITH WEB PEOPLE

You also have another MONTH of being FRIED On this board-


PS on a good note-

Howmany passes did you get to the Players Ball Ron?
And how much was your sponsorship?

And howmany girls of yours didn't get in??
:-)

Yes they are.

The Players Ball shares the same mentality as RonC. Girls make the event over the top. If Ron has a bunch of women that need to go, and he's also a sponsor, the answer to Ron is "how many will you need".

Our price per Players Ball pass based on the sponsorship packages and passes included work out to be $300 a pass. I have NO PROBLEM giving women that are "eye candy" free passes to make our sponsors happy.

Once you have a sausage fest, people talk shit and your event can go down hill from there, and I've always recognized that.

:pimp

Duly noted, Ron. Thanks.

See how happy Lens looks with a hot girl around makes networking so much more fun.
