'Twilight' Fans Prepare to Get Conned

Twilight fanatics, clear your calendars from July 30 to August 2—that's when the first-ever Twilight-inspired convention, TwiCon, takes place, NBC reports.

The event, which will take place at the Sheraton Dallas Hotel in Dallas, Texas, will feature appearances by Twilight cast members such as Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, Kellan Lutz, Ashley Greene, Mike Welch and Christian Serratos.

Musical entertainment will be provided by Twilight-inspired bands such as Twilight Music Girls, Bella Cullen Project and Atlanta-based headliners Mitch Hansen Band.

Saturday night, meanwhile, will be capped by the highly anticipated Volturi Masquerade Ball.

Conference registration is $255, and are $139. TwiCon organizer Becka Grapsy notes that, despite the price, tickets are being snapped up quickly.

"We have 2,500 tickets for sale and we're expecting to sell out," Grapsy notes.

Well, that really sucks. Or bites. Or whatever vampire-related term you prefer.

Have your say in the comments section: Would you pay $255 to attend TwiCon?

    This is ridiculous. I'm so sick of Twilight and I can't WAIT until some other poorly-written fad takes its place. I can't fathom even spending $50 to attend something like this, much less the exorbitant price they're charging.

    Well ofcourse whatever it takes and whatever it takes.

    This convention was announced last October. And it's not the first ever, there have been MANY Twilight conventions already. 

    Twicon was the first one PLANNED! Back in October, none of the other conventions had even been planned yet. They just hussled to put theirs on before Twicon. They weren't/aren't as big as Twicon, either.
