As opposed to?

Could sail from San Francisco... <_<

Honestly, I'm interested in attending no matter where it sets sail from.

Dammit. This sounds so cool. I'd definitely go if I could. But I most likely can't, for various reasons.

Miami is cool. It's like... 6 hours away, so I'm pretty sure I'd still want to fly to wherever it's setting sail from.

You have no idea what the hell you're doing, do you?

A venue that will take 25% off the top of any dealer's sales? How much profit off of material do you think dealers even make? Oh but free tables? But they'll still have to buy prohibatively expensive sleeping arrangements. You will NOT have any dealers, flat out.

Not only that, but you have no venue or even a cruise line announced and you want people to basicly LOAN YOU up to $800 with no guarintee that they get the trip they pay for and they'll just have to trust you to pay you back after you cancel it due to lack of interests. You are looking to raise almost $400 000 in registrations in order to get this off the ground. No first year con, even in the LARGEST possible city, would ever generate that much in registrations. Your costs are extreamly high and will dramaticaly limit attendance.

$381 is the lowest possible cost is absurd. Then there will be added cost to the attendees to even travel to the launch point, expenses at the 'con' would increase that.

You're fucked. The only good that could possibly come from this is that you will fail so hard that anyone else who has ever run a failed con will feel better in comparison to you.

Hey now, no need to be that negative. It's America, and indeed there's plenty of people as rich as they are hardcore to take up something like this. And even assuming relatively high costs, I'd say a lot of con attendees already spend rather solid sums on their con trips. So I wouldn't rule it out. That said, (pardon the pun) floating this one would be tricky.
