I mean it’s not cheap, but seems reasonable for a 2-day convention for some niche community like SC.
How much was it in previous years?
We haven’t had an in person CitizenCon in a while (last one was cancelled due to COVID). So take into account inflation, plus this is a 2-day event vs the typical 1 day events that they had before.
From what I could find, CitizenCon 2949 (3-4 years ago) was €137 (euros not dollars).
The year before that it was $87 access, $137 for premium.
The year before that it was around £100 (pounds).

Dang, wish they didn’t try to psychologically manipulate their audience by ending a price in 99.
