In celebration of one of our favorite costumed holidays, I'm happy to announce that Costume-Con 26 weekend membership rates will not increase tonight as originally planned.
Adult Weekend Memberships will remain at the current price of $85 for the remainder of 2007, with a planned rate increase on January 1, 2008.
This means that you can purchase memberships for your friends as holiday gifts! Which holiday? Diwali is right around the corner...

Get your memberships now!
As of January 1st, 2008, the cost of membership increases:
Adult attending membership goes from $85 to $95
Youth attending membership goes from $30 to $35
So why not give the gift of CC26 membership now, to yourself or a
costumer friend! It's perfect.
