What do you guys figure Taker will charge for autographs and photo ops?? I'm guessing no less than $100 each way. Maybe even $150 and people will definitely still pay it. I hate to be the bearer of bad news but it's almost certainly going to be more than that. Last big signing he did in California was $150 for auto, $150 for photo, $300 for combo. And that's American USD. With the exchange rate I'm guessing at least $200 for either auto or photo. That said, I still bought the speed pass immediately once it was known he was coming because I expect his line to be INSANE.

The prices for The Undertaker are listed on the site in the ticket package section. $200 for autographs and $220 for photo ops, that's with tax included. Ouch. I've never paid that much before. Was planning on getting 2 items signed but I think that just changed. Damn.

That being said, I don't go to many conventions but still. One autograph and photo for $420? That price just seems out of this world. Damn.

And the crazy part is, from attending numerous conventions over the years, I already know Taker will do VERY well that day. He will make a killing no doubt.
I'm sure some fans will get multiple items signed. This is a very rare appearance in Ontario for him & kudos for him getting that kind of money.
I want to get my 2 MOC WWF Hasbro figures signed but I don't know about that now. I'd be well over $500 if I did that as I want a photo op with him as well.
We will see how much money I can get saved before then.

Trying to aim for one autograph and a photo with 'Taker. I'd like two autographs, but at this price (though expected), I'm likely to just do one.
Also, Arn Anderson, Tully Blanchard, and Bret Hart have been added to the Legends convention in Kingston.

If he was like $100 I'd consider getting 3 but with this it's either 1 or maybe stretching to 2. Which Mattel should I get signed? I lean toward the first Defining Moments (Survivor Series 96, love that fig), but I feel like we don't have a definitive Undertaker figure yet MOC from his signature early days ... that Wrestlemania one that came out in his debut look didn't have the stupid tie for whatever reason. Entrance Great, don't like the coat. I do have the purple tie one, so I could get that one signed. Hmm. Also do we think there's any chance of these autograph tickets selling out? Assuming there will be a limit overall.

I hope they won't sell out as I may have to wait a bit to purchase mine. Who knows though? I'm sure there has to be a limit. Just hope it won't sell out.

I got Taker at Ace Dec 2017 and it cost 325 usd for VIP, thinking he'd be a "once in a lifetime" meet. Had my old red hasbro signed and got a photo. After that, he made at least two more appearances in reachable areas. What I'm saying is the price may be too high for now, knowing he's getting really close to retirement (hence likely more of these appearances). Not saying to not get him at all, but pulling the trigger for multiple autos at this price may not be best - yet.

I got Summerslam and Takeover tickets the other day and have been buying too many figures lately ... just realized I've got way too much debt when I plan on spending a ton of money at WrestleCon this year, lol. Uggggh. The pains of being a wrestling fan/collector.

Uggggh. The pains of being a wrestling fan/collector. Your going to spend alot more money at Wrestlecon then you expect, trust me. Raw and Smackdown tickets are cheap and you can wait for them, Takeover could go either way. I assume you bought your ticket on Stubhub since the individual presale hasn't happened yet.

one thing to remember - Taker most likely isn’t getting all the money from sales. He is probably getting a flat fee for x number of hours (like HBK did years ago).
Anything over what was paid is pure profit. The guys that run these conventions aren’t doing it out of the good of their heart - they have to make money too.

Raw and Smackdown tickets are cheap and you can wait for them, Takeover could go either way. I assume you bought your ticket on Stubhub since the individual presale hasn't happened yet. Yeah, I'm budgeting like $500-700 for Wrestlecon lol. Generally sticking with mid-card guys though so hopefully it's lower than that. I got lucky in I had a $100 coupon from Seatgeek because they absolutely screwed me with my NXT NYC ticket ... it's a long story but they messed up and the seller took the ticket back from me, so I complained enough to get that coupon. I saw there were some tickets up on the site for NXT Toronto so I grabbed a good 100 level seat for 173 minus the 100 ... at $73 the price was right! I then noticed the next day that the broker took down all of his other seats (he had 8 tickets in my row) so I'm guessing he forgot he had them at that price or realized they should have been much more, lol. I have absolutely no interest in Raw or Smackdown so that's fine by me (I actually despise the current WWE product but still couldn't pass up the chance to go to Summerslam, being that it's so close.)
