Big Fun, Small Cost: 3 Reasons to Attend a Smaller Convention This Year
MAY 19TH, 2025
Is the economy killing your convention budget?
Look, we get it. The economy is a mess right now, and you’re wondering how you can get by while still having some actual FUN this year. Well, we think you deserve to have fun! You deserve to hang out with your friends, geek out over your favorite stuff, and experience that oh-so-important sense of community and excitement that you can only get at a great convention. Here are 3 reasons why attending a smaller con like Multiverse might be the answer you’re looking for!
SMALLER CONS ARE (MUCH) MORE AFFORDABLE: The huge mega-conventions can be really fun, but they can also break the bank. Weekend passes at $130 or more, Hotels at $250+ per night, $30+ a day for parking, overpriced food… it all adds up! Smaller cons like Multiverse offer a MUCH more cost-effective way to get your geek on, with 3-day passes at only $79, discounted hotel rooms at $169, FREE parking all weekend, and even free food in the Con Suite! If your budget is your main concern, smaller cons are a no-brainer.
SO MUCH EASIER TO GET AROUND: Along with being expensive, mega-conventions can be extremely spread out. Many of them take up several city blocks, meaning you could end up walking forever just to get from one event to the next. Add in crowds of 50,000 or more people, and wow… it can get overwhelming! At a smaller con, you don’t have to fight huge crowds, stand in long lines, or walk forever in your awesome-looking but uncomfortable cosplay shoes—which leaves you much more energy to actually do the stuff you want!
SAME FUN, LESS HASSLE: The best thing about conventions is the community. Seeing old friends, making new ones, and sharing the stuff you love with like-minded folks in a fun, welcoming space created just for people like you… that’s what it’s all about. Smaller cons like Multiverse offer an amazing community of fantastic people, tons of fascinating panels, chances to meet cool creators, exciting social events like parties and performances, plus shopping and gaming and crafting and art and so much more, all in a more relaxing environment for a fraction of the cost. Skip the chaos, keep the magic; what’s not to love about that?
TL;DR: You don’t have to miss out on all the con fun this year. Whether you’re a mega-con veteran or a first-time convention attendee, give a smaller con a try & find out what you’ve been missing.
