Gold Pass Or Basic Pass?
Compare Benefits:
The
Gold Pass Is The Most Convenient And Assures Seating (except for a very few events with extremely limited seating, such as the pre-Expo Pitch Boot Camp):
With
the Gold Pass, you receive:
– Free
early entry to all seminars.
Basic Pass registrants pay $5 in advance or $6 on site per seminar. You can save up to
$80.
– Bypass
the lines:
priority seating at any event if you arrive
early. Seating is not absolutely guaranteed
– some smaller
seminars will fill up with earliest-arriving Gold Pass registrants – but in the
vast
majority of cases, a Gold Pass and early arrival will get you into an
excellent seat. It is the best
assurance that
you’ll
see everything you want without the extra effort of buying
tickets.
– Bypass
the ticket line.
A Gold Pass saves you from having to stand in line for event tickets.
– Free
tickets to all three networking parties.
At $30 each, this is a $90 value.
– Priority
access to special
events, such as screenings, which may be set up later.
– A Free subscription to
Creative Screenwriting Magazine. This is a $29.95 value in
the US, $34.95 in Canada/Mexico, and $49.95 if you're from another
country.
The Only Additional Possible Costs Incurred By Gold Pass Recipients Are:
- Your meals,
other than food provided at the receptions. The Westin Los Angeles Airport has excellent
food options and is surrounded by fast-
and quality-food options.
- Golden Pitch Tickets.
Only registrants can pitch, so you need a Gold or Basic Pass to
pitch. Tickets are an additional $25 each, or 20% off for five or
more purchased together. NOTE: there is an error in a PHP page
which says that you do not need to buy pitch tickets with a Gold Pass.
That is UNTRUE. Because that page is a programmed PHP page, we
cannot fix it before the Expo. Ignore that statement with
regard to pitch tickets.
- Special Events, if any.
We may sponsor a Pitch Boot Camp on Thursday, Sept. 15
before the Expo officially begins. If so, both Gold Pass and
Basic Pass registrations will need to buy tickets for this event.
Examples
of other costly special events: a movie screening for which we have to
rent
the theater or projection equipment; or a special guest speaker whom
we'd have to fly in First Class from out of town or pay a large
speaking fee.
The
Basic Pass Is The Most Economical:
With the
Basic Pass, you can minimize costs if you are attending the
Screenwriting Expo on a budget. The Basic Pass gives you:
– The
right to buy tickets
to individual seminars at $5 each/^6 on site. NOTE: in rare instances,
you
may be denied a seat at a purchased session if it fills up with
early-arriving "Gold Pass" registrants. If that happens, you
may
exchange your ticket or receive a refund. NOTE:
there are some small meeting rooms in 2011; seating is not guaranteed.
– The
right to attend free events, including
Guest of Honor sessions and free panels.
– The
right to buy tickets to evening Networking Receptions ($30 per
ticket).
– The
right to buy a subscription to Creative Screenwriting Magazine at half price (save $14.97).
Everyone Must Have A Badge:
No one will
be admitted to any event without a Basic Pass or Gold Pass badge.
