Some notes on membership prices:
 
From 2014 to 2019, Ithaca College generously funded ITHACON in addition to providing event space. However, in 2019, we were informed that this funding would be phased out starting in 2020. As a result, we introduced a $10 ticket price that year with plans for gradual increases. Given the current economic landscape where many colleges operate on enrollment-driven budgets rather than endowments we are now fully self-funded.

Rising costs have also played a role in this adjustment. Hotel room rates have increased by about a third since 2020, and other conventions are charging significantly more. Unlike many events that add service fees and taxes on top of ticket prices, ITHACON includes them in the final cost keeping things simple and transparent.

To continue providing an incredible experience for fans while covering necessary expenses, we are adjusting the full membership to $25, with our discounted membership to $15. Even with these changes, ITHACON remains an affordable and valuable event.

To put it into perspective: At our first two-day convention in 1977, membership was just $3.00 which, adjusted for inflation, would be about $16 today. Back then, we featured four comic book guests and two local artists. We’re expecting 30+ guests, making ITHACON a fantastic value for fans and collectors alike.

We appreciate your support and can’t wait to celebrate another amazing year with you!
