Last week, prices on the Celebration V tickets went up – an extra $8 on the four-day pass, and $4 on everything else – and today Reed’s Lance Fensterman has a reason: State and local taxes. However, there are two bits of good news here: Folks who’ve already purchased tickets don’t have to pay the extra (Reed will take care of it: Think of it as an early bird special?) and there’s no sliding scale, so the online prices won’t raise until the convention begins and the on-site prices kick in. (That’s an additional $17 on a four-day pass, so you’re still saving by buying early.)
