        A seat in the BYOC where you bring your PC for the LAN party part of QuakeCon is no longer free. It's at least $40 a seat. You'd think this would make the BYOC less popular but the opposite has occurred - it sells out faster every year whereas it had problems filling up when it was free.

        Then they came up with this thing called "QuakeCon Done Quick" or QdQ. This is also a BYOC seat but you get a special lanyard that lets you get into events first with better reserved seating. Think of it as fast pass at a theme park.

        Then they came up with the idea of having a special set of seats that "hook directly into the command center" (the NOC in the BYOC room). These seats are on raised platforms, have those fancy subwoofer chairs, etc. Supposedly you get faster speeds. For whatever that's worth. These are the even more expensive seats and there's a small number of them like 32 or 64. You'd think these would be hard to sell but they sell out faster than the NES Mini.

        Next week the QdQ seats go on sale, week after that is the regular BYOC seats.

            Not really a scam if they're selling what people want for a price they're willing to pay.

            I don't think it's worth it but to each his own.
