Re: Too many Shows at a time?
Honestly the other big problem has become the lack of diversity among the dealers.
I would hazard only a guess, but over the last 4 months I would say that most shows have had 60%+ the same dealers, with the same product. Of course the big shows (Fan Expo, TFcon) get a much larger, and diverse, groups of dealers, but after that it seems more of the same.
Frankly there will be a tipping point sooner or later. All fandoms will eventually falter, and the shows will follow. I mean back in the late 90's, early 2000's there were big Star Trek and Star Wars conventions in the city, but they didn't last which is surprising for Star Wars.
