Have you been to a festival or convention that was not worth it?

I feel like I just got scammed watching other people get scammed

The county and state fairs are the ones that bother me most. It should be affordable fun for families.

"...rarely is there accountability for defrauding customers anymore."
So true. We live in a world where grifters are rewarded instead of punished.

Funko, Labubu. And 3d slop is everything the Idiocracy desires.

I’m glad I don’t like going out. One less way to be scammed lol

$400 for one afternoon in some convention??? I just had $500 as a pocket money for 5 days in Prague and I lived like a king everyday that week….

Everything sucks these days. If you were around 30 years ago going to events and out to restaurants, etc. youll really know what we’ve lost

I miss the days when you could be poor and still afford the big music festivals. Even as a student it was possible to save for the ticket, and when you were there, there were always some cheap, no frills food stands so you could eat on a budget.

I think it was in the late 00s I first noticed the more ‘gourmet’ options appear. It was a novelty if you had the money - and the food was better quality - but you could still go cheap if you wanted to.

Now every event is wall-to-wall ‘fancy’ food and most of it isn’t actually very good - in quality or taste!

The reason some of these do 0 advertisements is so people that’s already been scammed in the area won’t know they’re back. 😂

I have never once gone to a convention of any kind and Im so glad for that.

Not gonna lie, I watch your show for motivation to not spend money. But the one thing I am tempted to buy lava lamps as of late.

I’m blown away by that $20,000 dollar vendor fee.

9:32 WTH? Why not just drive around a nice neighborhood and enjoy the Christmas displays in the yards?

I go to the Christmas in July craft fair in my small community in central Kentucky. Goat milk soap. Local honey. Local produce. Small jewelry, crochet, printed t-shirts, etc. Even a santa in beach clothes. 😅 No admission fee. No MLM booths!

Everyone and every industry is greedy no matter how big or small. Doesn't matter if its entertainment, hospital. Jobs, education, etc.

This is a shame, I remember when I was a kid going to state fairs. Tickets were $10-$15 per person unlimited times to ride and the parking was always free.

Too many of these are run by people with the mindset of "We don't need no fancy event organiser".

Everybody wants to rip everybody off. People have to be tired of this.

Those people payed 350 to go to a food court.
