How to Experience CrimeCon: House Arrest for Under $30

CrimeCon Informant • Oct 28, 2020

(Yes, we budgeted for the wine.)

To say this year has been challenging is a radical understatement. Heading into the holiday season, we all need opportunities to reconnect, spend time together, and - perhaps most of all - have a little fun! That’s why we’re bringing our first full-day virtual event, CrimeCon: House Arrest , to life for true crime fans everywhere on November 21 -- and here’s how you can enjoy an entire day of fun, learning, laughter, and all-new true crime content for just $30.


1. Assemble your accomplices. The best memories are the ones we make with our partners in crime, and with a pandemic bringing some serious cabin fever this year, you probably haven’t seen near enough of your PICs. Call up 2-3 of your besties and split the cost of a live access pass.

Cost: $22.25 per person


    2. Stay safe! Find a free COVID-19 testing center near you and make sure your crew is COVID-free! Many drive-thru testing centers are quick, easy, and deliver timely results.

    Cost: $0


    3. Pick up a bottle of wine. For an event like House Arrest, you can’t go wrong with 19 Crimes. Most bottles cost about $10 on average, and with the help of a free app , each bottle tells the story of a convict sentenced to exile in the early penal colony of Australia.

    Cost: 3 bottles @ $10 each = $30/4 people = $7.50 per person


    4. Enjoy the irony of kicking your cabin fever with an event named House Arrest!


    That’s it! Total cost = $29.75 for 8 hours of unfettered frivolity with your favorite true crime heroes, live demonstrations, Q&As, merch, and even Podcast Row!

    CrimeCon: House Arrest is the vacation you didn’t get to take this year - at a fraction of the cost. See the current guest lineup here and stay tuned for weekly updates; we have some BIG surprises in store for House Arrest viewers!

    For the passionate true crime fan, it isn’t just about knowing what happened —it’s about understanding why. Every Monday TV One goes beyond the headlines to get to the WHY behind the crime. From police brutality to stories of Black love and revenge, TV One is committed to telling our stories, our way! “Payback” is all about vengeance, revealing the motives behind the crimes. “Fatal Attraction” explores when love’s embrace morphs into a deadly grip, while “Sins of The City” unmasks the crimes that have rocked cities across the country. “For My Man” tells the stories of women who committed crimes for love. And in “ATL Homicide,” Detectives David Quinn and Vince Velazquez share their most challenging cases, highlighting the profound human impact of crime.
