As some of you know, I have gotten a summer job that pays fairly well. Most of this money is being set aside for my trip to Further Confusion in January.

Because I will have excess money from the job, I was considering upgrading to the Sponsor Registration level. I am asking what you guys recommend. For reference, I have copied descriptions of each membership level.

Regular Members ($40 and above):
Admittance to all functions of the convention that are not specifically limited to Patrons or Sponsors, a registration bag containing our souvenir convention book, information pamphlets, and other goodies. $15 of your membership is a tax deductible donation to AAE, Inc.

Sponsors ($100 and above):
In addition to everything that a full regular membership, sponsors will receive the following:

    * The Further Confusion 2007 T-Shirt
    * Their name listed in the convention programme book (if provided before the convention book deadline)
    * plus other yet-to-be-determined goodies

$50 of your membership is a tax deductible donation to AAE, Inc.

Patrons ($200 and above):
In addition to everything that a full Sponsor membership entitles you too, patrons will also receive

    * A copy of the FC2007 Highlight DVD when it is produced
    * Admittance to our Catered Patron lunch with our Guests of      Honor
    * permanent listing on the AAE, Inc. website as a Patron of the Convention
    * plus other yet-to-be-determined goodies

$100 of your membership is a tax deductible donation to AAE, Inc.
Y Helo Thar!

Well I had a regular membership at FC last year. But after being a super sponser at AC, I'm pretty sure I'll upgrade to at LEAST a sponser for FC next time I go. Maybe even a patron.

If the sponsor badge gets you into a special lounge with good snacks, I would say yes.

I know many a con-goer who has expressed 'disappointment' after a con with the value they got for the upgrades.  But I figure if it gets you some nice snacks, and a nice place to hang, then it may be worth it.

Course, $60 will buy a good amount of snacks, comics and other stuff.

Well, for me it's mostly a question of how much you want to support the convention.  

I usually go for at least sponsor level, especially when it comes to conventions that need the financial help (like Califur).  While I'm all for the added perks of doing so, I mostly do it because I know they need it, and I hope that my contribution will aid in making the convention an even better experience for the next year.  '<img'>

Hmmm, well, SOMEFUR selected the Patron Level. I really wish if people voted, they would give us a reason WHY they chose it.

I had a Sponsor membership to EF last year and the same this year.
They don't have anything higher than that.

'<img'>  to take money from me I need to be romanced a bit... A nicer ConBook, Special Passes, Thankyou mentions, T-shirts, or even discounts on other stuff/raffles are all a nice touch and could easily make the difference in how much I really do spend to go to a con. Let's face it, If the con is 50 bucks and sponsorship is only 100 and you get a free meal and a t-shirt you have to figuer that's an added 8-10 $ for food and 10-15 for a T-shirt so that's a bill of like 50 (confee) + 9 (food 1 meal) + 12 (t-shirt) = 71$. That's not bad... If the t-shirt is a special edition plus some other perks that start's to become a real value.

I never saw the need to get a special registration above the basic. I rarely go to any panals and I eat with my friends.

Granted, the donations probably help the con a lot, but it still doesn't fit my financial situation well.

I'd probably only do regular membership because I'm kind of cheap sometimes. ^^; And because my college/personal expenses don't allow for more than that. But I might sponsor AC next year since I had such a blast this year. :3
