THE GOLD VIP PACKAGE

The CrimeCon GOLD VIP package elevates your weekend to a whole new level. From priority seating to a private lounge, from cocktails to exclusive programming and access to the Saturday night dinner and CLUE Awards, it's an incredible way to experience CrimeCon weekend. We also offer a PLATINUM VIP package.

PRIORITY VIP SEATING

With a Gold VIP badge you'll have seats waiting for you in the front of the main ballroom. (Note: Rooms outside of the main ballroom may also have VIP seating at the organizer's discretion.)

VIP ONLY PROGRAMMING

Only VIPs get entry into exclusive VIP-only sessions and experiences. In the past, these have included things like in-depth cold case workshops, a Don't F*ck with Cats workshop, the 911 Experience, an immersive forensics mystery experience, and more.

VIP COCKTAIL HOUR

Prior to Saturday night's CLUE banquet VIPs will mix and mingle with each other as well as a select group of speakers and creators. A full open bar is provided.

CLUE AWARDS DINNER ACCESS

Only VIPs get a seat at our Saturday night CLUE Awards banquet. This is no long, boring awards show, it's an evening filled with your favorite speakers and creators to honor the true crime projects that not only wowed us, but that told their stories in a responsible way. The banquet features a multi-course dinner and open bar. 

DISCOUNTS TO EVENING EVENTS

We sometimes offer separately ticketed bonus events at night. VIPs are offered an exclusive discount to these events. In prior years this has included a kickoff party, an Evening with John Douglas, a "choose your own adventure" suspect interviewing experience, a workshop lead by The Behavior Panel, and much more. 

VIP CHECK IN

It starts from the moment you join us in the registration area. Our VIP concierge will make sure you're taken of, provide your credentials, and ensure you understand all of your weekend benefits. Note that this only applies to Friday morning check-in. If you utilize early registration the lounge is unavailable.

GOLD VIP LOUNGE

Sometimes you just want to get away from the crowds. Our VIP lounge is the perfect place to do it. The lounge is stocked with coffee, tea, and soft drinks and offers a quiet place to sit, relax, and recharge. (Note: Food is not served in the Gold VIP Lounge.)

REVIEWS FROM GOLD VIP ATTENDEES

"I love having priority seating and a chance to stop in the VIP lounge to hydrate during the day! The extra events that come along with VIP are also a major perk, but the priority seating is my number one reason for going gold each year."

"I really like the VIP entrance and the VIP seating. The Clue awards and VIP cocktail hour were so much fun. Having a place to sit and have a drink and relax a bit in the lounge was also really nice. I would definitely choose VIP Gold if I went again."

"The main reason I continue to purchase gold (3rd time) is for the front row seats!"

"The reserved seating was really nice, and the staff who made sure to find us a seat in that area if we arrived late, were fantastic. The cocktail hour and Clue Awards really made it feel worthwhile."

"I loved the upfront seating, and the lounge was a great, quiet place to relax in between sessions. I also enjoyed the VIP-exclusive events. I will take advantage of more of them next year."

"The seating was incredible with the VIP badge, honestly that was really worth it!!"

"The vip dinner for none forensic experience was truly next level and one of the most enjoyable parts of the weekend!"

"LOVED IT!!! Sooo amazing!!!!!!
