Hasbro Convention Tickets Are Now On Sale And They Are Not Cheap

Last year the company responsible for D&D, Magic: The Gathering, My Little Pony and Transformers announced Hascon, a three-day fan celebration of the stuff it makes. Tickets for the Providence, Rhode Island show are now on sale, with adult three-day passes ranging from $165 to $600. Wow.

Now I’ve been to semi-official (read: not official, but Hasbro’s been really supportive) conventions for two of Hasbro’s biggest properties, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and Transformers, and just about every fantasy convention I’ve been to has in some way involved D&D. Seeing those three fandoms converging at the Rhode Island Convention Center September 8-10 is certainly worth the $60 one-day adult admission, but the entire weekend might be a stretch.

Here’s the price breakdown for tickets:

General Admission

Adults 16 and Up: $60 single day, $165 three-day

Youth 3 to 15: $30 single day, $75 three-day

Children under 3: Free

Then we have the VIP experience, which includes all sorts of behind-the-scenes stuff and special perks. The “Super Fan” tier also comes in tailored Magic: The Gathering and D&D packages.

VIP Tickets

Super Fan 16 and Up: $600

Super Star 3-16: $200

So yeah, the full experience is pretty pricey, especially for a first-time convention, but considering the number of properties being represented and the potential for exclusive collectors’ goodies, it’s very, very tempting. If you are tempted as well, go to the official ticket purchase page, stare and make deep thinking noises.
