When is the con this year? I'm going to the Joecon in rhode island this year but if the CanJoeCon is after that then I would love to come. I just need a dang job!

Look at the top of this thread - at the site banner. ;-)

Hoping to go this year, would like to stay Friday and Saturday night.

As a first timer (hopefully) I have a few questions about the Candaian Joe Con. How much did it cost last year for admission? How much was the convention exclusive package? And will the older convention figures ever be available again, or is eBay the only way to get them?
Because knowing is half the battle.

In order:

1. $15.00 w/ attendee badge, lanyard, etc. - expect about the same this year

2. $125.00 Canadian : Most likely will be between $100-$125.00 this year, if all goes well. ;-)

3. Never say never - but not in the original ARAH molds that they were first sold in. Ebay is your new friend if you want them - but expect to pay high amounts for them if you really want them. I think the last JoeCanuck figure I saw on ebay sold for about $700.00 - and that was years ago.

There was a special access pass to last year right?  Will that be available or is it part of the con set package?

Thanks for the info. My son would likely go to the con with me, but my wife and daughter would not be interested. Are there other things to see and do nearby that they might like?

The key word is nearby.  There is nothing for a family to due in this part of Toronto.  All this area is Pearson airport, a golf course, various hotels and industrial properties.  Downtown Toronto to and from here is about 40 minutes on a good day.

Via the 427, it's about 10-15 minutes Pete, I timed it when I was there as I needed to go to the Eaton Centre as well.

Last year there was. It was an additional $5.00 for a VIP admission to cover the extra room that I had to purchase. It was the only way to secure a Con set. This year, all rooms are included, so I should be able to have the one admission fee.

Your wife and daughter could goto Canada's Wonderland.... :-)
As the date get's nearer, I should have a list of things available nearby. I know there is shopping nearby - not exactly sure HOW nearby yet. There's always other events going on at the surrounding hotels and the international centre as well.

I'm in the same boat.  My wife and my son (too young for a full day at Con) will come with me.  We will stay at the hotel friday and saturday.  I have to find some great shopping center not too far from the hotel 

By the way, thanks guys for the link and tips!

Just a 5 minute drive away from the hotel (according to Google Maps).

If your wives and kids don't have fun there, then somethings wrong. ;-)
