Supersponsor

(1/4) > >>

Fauho:
Beeing a supersponsor myself last year, I found it marvelous to get all these goodies like the towel and mug and such, I was pretty ok with the reserved seats (although it was kinda hilarious to find out most of them were unused, it seems like most furs stayed in their room because they believed they wouldn't have good places anyway and could follow it much better on the TV in their room, leaving the mainstage area quit empty)... But I found it rather unfair to let the supersponsors get to the dealers den before the major crowd could. Well, just my humble opinion....

Cheetah:
Why do you think this privilege is unfair, as opposed to the others?

krakendwaggin:
As A Super Sponsor myself last year, Yeah the vast open spaces of seats when shows started was kinda funny as you'd think that people would've moved closer to the stage just before the show started!

The towel and the mug were great, though I didn't realise it was a heat-changing mug until I made a cuppa tea in it! >.>

The early access to the Dealers Den I thought was one of the really worthwhile perks of going Super Sponsor, it -kinda- was unfair depending on how you look at it but there isn't much Eurofurence can offer as a thank you to us, the goodies are great and such but they ain't always cheap, letting us into the Dealers Den a hour early is free.

I missed out a bit on commissioning some artists in there before they got swamped (mostly because I missed them totally!), so having this lil perk of being able to be in there a hour before everyone else does have it's advantages, I remember the 'wow' factor when I walked out of the doors to see the queue that went all the way to the far staircase, I don't think that queue died down for a good few hours!.

So to summarise, Yeah it does feel a little unfair considering the numbers of Super Sponsors to Regular and such, "These guys have money so we're gonna let them in to the dealers den sooner than everyone else" it ain't, it's one of the few things that Eurofurence can offer as a perk which costs them absolutely nothing to do!.

Zefiro:
Please also remember that we're not making any money from this - Eurofurence is a not-for-profit organisation, so every bit of extra money which sponsors and supersponsors give actually benefits all of us. So actually we all benefit more from them than they do from those little (s)sponsor gifts. Still think that's unfair?

*purrrrr*

Fauho:
It just feels ackward and uncomfortable to see a huge row of people waiting for hours to get in, you just passing that row last minute, entering before them and snatching goodies away from the people waiting outside just because you can afford more then some who saved up a whole year for this...that is what feels unfair to me... Well, anyway, if everyone else is ok with it I guess I shouldn't bother either >>
